Another Day huh?

Yes it is another birthday for little ol me. It's been a long year since the last one. Hopefully this year will go a bit smoother. What are the plans for the year 2-7 of Carrie's life? Sew some stuff(don't know what yet), travel a bit(don't know where yet), Get Finnegan into preschool and keep him there, and oh yeah...have another baby!!! (we're due at the end of March for those who haven't heard)

Happy birthday to me!

We Went, We Camped, We Had A Pretty Good Time.

This past weekend the kiddo and I took off with some friends and went on a "No Dads Allowed" camping trip. We headed out Friday morning, got on a ferry to Bainbridge Island and picked out a nice site at Fay Bainbridge State Park on the sound.


Here are the fearless tent putter-uppers hard at work. Watching them made me glad Finn and I were sleeping in the van.


The kids all loved the park, especially the beach and all the driftwood to climb on.



Hot Dogs for dinner. This cooking stuff is very serious business.


I'll admit I think we were all exhausted by the end of the weekend, but I still can't wait to do it again next year.

If a Moose Ate Beavers....

Training Wheels!!!

No more tricycle for this crazy 3 year old! Thanks to C,S,E & P for the bike! Thanks Craigslist for the training wheels!

Summer's Just Flying By...

Well I can't say we haven't kept busy this summer. Weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, and 2 months of sunshine keep this little family on the go.

Finnegan took his first Seattle Monorail ride, surprising since he's been a Seattle kid his whole life.

The Girl Cousins came and spent the night and we all went to SeaFair's Fleet Week.

Finn's buddy Elliott turned 3! Big deal for big boys!

In this strange Seattle heat we're thankful for the random "splash spots" in the city that we can go to to cool down.
