Emma and the Big Ball

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

A couple weeks ago we bought a big playground ball for Emma. She's torn between being afraid of it and liking it. She chases it a little bit, and will nudge it to get a treat to roll off, but if it's rolling at her, she'll run away ...

Happy Easter!

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Happy Easter from us! I got some fun Easter socks for me and a flower headband for Emma. Delicious hot cross buns for breakfast (from The Essential Baking Company,a local organic company), a little homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch, and I'll be making a nice little rack ...

Emma and Spring Snow/Sleet/Hail

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Today was a very weird weather day around these parts. Shaun said it was overcast but not much else down in Seattle, but up here in south Everett, I encountered a mini-sleet blizzard driving into work, and throughout the day it wavered between rain, drizzle, snow, sleet, and soft ...

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Today marks the 6th anniversary our wedding day :-) Serendipitously, it was my Friday off and the last day of Shaun's spring break, so we spent the day together having fun. We got a great lunch (more on that very shortly), wandered around a bookstore, then watched Rango ...

Emma Watching the Snow

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Emma used to get up on the back of our old couch all the time, walk along it, and perch to watch us. She hadn't gotten up on the back of the new couch yet, though. It's a bit taller, and she just didn't have motivation to get ...

With February comes cute Valentine's Day socks - my only concession to the holiday besides making a nice dinner :-) I'm wearing the red ones today!

Penguin Socks

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

I almost forgot to post the great socks I got from my Mom for Christmas. I wore the penguin socks just a couple days ago :-)

Another Weight Loss Goal Met!

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

Well, I've now lost 15% of my former self - 39 pounds so far and going strong :-) My sleep apnea is much improved, Shaun tells me, and moving around is much easier. On to the next goal!

New Couch

Friday, December 31st, 2010

For our big Christmas gift to each other, Shaun and I got ourselves a new couch. It got delivered today. It's super-comfy, reclines, and the microfiber so far seems to be much more dog hair resistant :-D
