What are you going to be Maria?

Our “Remodel”

A couple weeks ago I was giving Maria a bath, and Sarah was doing laundry.  I got Maria out of the tub, got her into her pajamas and read a few stories to her before handing her over to Sarah before she went to sleep.  Just a typical Monday, nothing unusual…until I went downstairs to find [...]

Coming back to the blog…

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted anything.  It was a pretty rough summer…I like to think that our blog was in mourning.  But it’s now the holiday season…and life must go on at some point…and so should our blog! 

So a quick run down of what’s been happening with us since August;

Aunty Julie and Uncle Robert [...]

Hi Giraffe!

Sarah, Maria and Grandma went to the Woodland Park Zoo for a morning visit with the animals.  When they got there, they somehow figured out a way to join a group that was feeding the giraffes (one of Maria’s favorite animals).  [...]

Ballapalooza 2010

For the past 9 summers, our family has made the journey to Bellingham for the Ballapalooza soccer tournament.  This past weekend we made our 10th appearance in the tournament.  The team’s core is family (this year we had 9 cousins), and then we fill in the roster with some of our soccer friends from our other [...]

A little catch-up…

I feel like all posts these days begin with some comment about how long it’s been.  My recent hiatus has been exceptionally long.  I don’t know why but I haven’t been using my camera much recently…and it’s usually new photos that help inspire posts.  Something that we’re sure to rectify in the coming weeks.

So what have [...]

A month has passed…

So it’s been a busy month.  Not with our family…but with my work…so I haven’t had much time to post or even take pictures.  Thankfully, things should start to calm down in the near future.

The highlight of the past month, Maria’s first Sounders game.  We were able to get 3 tickets to the Safeco suite…the perfect [...]

Maria’s 2nd Birthday v3.0

Birthday week is complete; family party last weekend, all day celebrations on her actual birthday (Wednesday) and yesterday we held a small party for some of Maria’s friends.  The rain was very kind to us and held off until we began serving dinner.  Everyone seemed to have a good time…it was great to meet some of [...]

Maria’s Big Day

Sarah and I decided to again take Maria’s birthday off from work to have a family day together.  We began our day at Pump It Up in Lynnwood.  It’s one of those inflatable toy play arenas.  Since it was the middle of the week…it was pretty empty, maybe 5 kids other then Maria…which was great because [...]

Happy Birthday Maria!!!

More updates on her special day to come.  We’re off to a birthday dinner for Maria…and then, unfortunately I have to fly out to Boise for work…I hope to get a more detailed update, and pictures posted once I get to my hotel [...]
