oh so busy...

Wow, have we ever been a busy family! It all started when Jim went and turned 40. We began celebrating his milestone with a cocktail party here. Whew, glad that's over-- it was a good time but I sure like going to parties more than hosting them! We then rounded things out by spending a fabulous weekend in Seattle with the lovely Mayhew-Mannall-Fretwells. Sans children. Woo hoo! Marnie found a great restaurant which we dined at on Friday night called the Dahlia Lounge. Fantastic! Mind you, we could have been gobbling up Subway all weekend and wouldn't have cared all that much as we were sans children. Have I already mentioned that? We took in a Mariners game-- they played the Yankees and got their butts spanked by those cheeky New Yorkers. (woot woot! Goooooooooo Yankees!!). We hooked up with Charlie and Joel (relax, it was BIG Charlie- baby Charlie was safely tucked in bed and Nana & Grampie's) at the game. Good times. Pics to follow.

This weekend the boys and I went up island with my folks and Nila. We left Henry and Jim at home. Henry licked his wounds (literally!) as he was neutered on Friday and implanted with microchip in case he gets lost. Poor guy. Goes to mount his stuffed monkey and just doesn't have the heart anymore. We took away all the fun. Poor Hens. Jim painted our 4th bedroom while we were gone. It's green.

I'm so looking forward to being home next weekend. Being away for 2 in a row doesn't sit well with me. I love to be home.

I'll post pictures of the aforementioned events when I have time and energy.

big love,

See . .. it's mamas like you whon go out and live that make it okay for me to be the homebody mama. Thank you for living it up and posting about it. And for having great hair and legs that kick butt in cowboy boots. It gives me things to aspire to. :)

Lovely weekend darling. Glad Jim's aging in style. :) Sorry to hear Hens has lost his nuts. :)
