start of summer...

We are all moved into our new house and loving it. Ethan is starting to really like the new house. It took a couple of days for him to settle in but now he has told us on repeated occasions that never wants to leave so that is a good sign. He has been especially liking our new soaking tub and the neighborhood playground.

We also enrolled him in swim lessons in Kirkland for the summer. This was a great idea until we moved but he has really been enjoying them and loves bobbing his head underwater. 

welcome home...

We finally made the big leap into a new house. Jeff and I have been thinking about this for a very long time and finally made the move. We had been growing out of our old house for quite some time and thought it would be a great time to make the leap. 

We set out with the help of our friend Jeff in search of a new home. We looked at several houses but none of them seemed to have what we were looking for. We finally found one in the city of Bothell. 

We are still in the process of unpacking boxes and getting our old house ready to sell but we couldn't be happier. 

Once things are settled down I will be sure to post photo's of the inside but I can already see us hanging out on the porch drinking some vino!

Also, wanted to call out a special thanks to Jeff Strand for tracking this down and working with us, and our parents for coming down and painting and helping unpack. 

ski to sea...

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Jeff was busy getting the garage cleaned and instead of us getting in the way, Ethan and I headed up to Bellingham to attend the ski to sea festival. The main motivation for the trip for Ethan was to eat ice cream and play drums at Grandpa's house. Both were accomplished and the weather also cooperated so it was a great day.
