Adults Only

Well it took almost 11 months, but we did it! We spent two nights in Kirkland (eastside of Seattle) by ourselves, while the girls spent the weekend with their grandparents in Yakima. We had a fabulous time exploring Kirkland, eating at "adult" restaurants, going to the movies, hiking, shopping and relaxing. Our hotel (The Heathman) gave us free tickets for a boat cruise of Lake Washington. It ended up being a lifestyles of the rich and famous tour because apparently all the billionaires (Bill Gates, Howard Schultz, etc) live on the lake. Lexi and Zara also seemed to have a great time in Yakima so we are looking forward to doing it again soon!

Nursery, Mission Accomplished.

Ok, I realize that the girls are almost a year old, but we finally put up curtains in their room so it is officially done! The curtains are lined with blackout material so they keep most of the daylight out when they are sleeping.

Gymboree Fun

Stephanie Klein just sent me a few pics that she snapped of the girls at Kyle's birthday party - remember this bubbles video? Most of these are of Zara - I think Lexi was off having too much fun crawling and climbing.

Happy Easter!

These two little flowers are growing like weeds, but we think they are pretty cute!
