Good Search

Here's a new easy way to raise money for your favorite cause. Just start using GoodSearch.com as your search engine. Every time you search, they make a donation to your favorite nonprofit or school and it's powered by Yahoo! so you get great search results!

I have started using this search engine on a regular basis and love that it benefits any charity of my choice. I will alternate between local charities, like our community food bank, to national charities like the ASPCA. Please do your part and help local charities through this easy process!

New furniture!

Our new sofa and loveseat arrived on Friday and they seem to make our little house finally feel like a home! Lena has settled right in, taking her spot on the sofa so she can observe what happens in the neighborhood!

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Two weekends ago we celebrated Father's Day and my dad's birthday. Here he is with the grandchildren blowing out the few birthday candles. They were quite mesmerized by the flames! We had a wonderful Father's Day, spending time with my family. Scott enjoyed his first Father's Day, receiving some new clippers/pruning shears from Lena and I and some delicious blueberry pancakes for breakfast. I couldn't ask for a better husband and father of my child!

So sweet...

Anthony all sacked out after playing with Uncle Scott at church on the slide and shooting hoops. Anthony woke up early from his nap and then curled back up in the chair and this is how we found him.

Angelina had just woken up from her nap, hence the blanket and lack of one shoe and sock. Anthony was rubbing her back and giving her kisses saying, "Sissy, Sissy!"

The adorable troublemakers after they had completely woken up and eaten dinner. They are enjoying their favorite thing...Barney!! Or, as Anthony would say, "Baney!"

Church Baby Shower

Here are the lovely pink and white cupcakes that were made for the baby shower. Everyone knows how I love cupcakes!!

The bouncy chair/papsan that we hope Brigitta will absolutely love!

Smiling so lovely for the camera! It was HOT that afternoon, so I was having trouble staying cool!

The gorgeous view from the house was the shower was hosted. This is where Brigitta will attend daycare each day starting in January, once I go back to work. Pretty breathtaking!

28 weeks and counting

Okay, here are a few belly shots for those that have been asking. I am 28 weeks along with only 12 more to go. We have lots of work to do to get the room ready and everything put away and hopefully organized before Brigitta arrives. Please disregard the lovely smile on my face, that was after many hours of lower back and leg pain due to my sciatic nerve being on the fritz. All is well now, though!

Snoqualmie Falls Field Trip

My adorable husband took a "field trip" to Snoqualmie Falls for his apprenticeship class with the PUD. Here are some pictures of the falls and my sweet husband in his work gear!

Baby Shower

My school gave me a shower this past Monday and we got some very wonderful items for Brigitta, including her high chair!! We are very excited about that. The top is the cake that was made for the shower, you will notice it is in the shape of a buggy. This was made and designed by the woman that made our wedding cake and cupcakes. It was delicious!!
