Alki Beach Walk

Today, Jeffrey and I met Leah, Kate and Deb at Alki for a walk. It was a beautiful day to be spending time by the water walking in the sunshine. Be careful, it won't be long before fall roles in and days like this will be hard to come by.

I can't believe this weekend is Labor Day. Most kids go back to school on Tuesday. It will be odd not teaching at all this year. I love working and the schedule it hold you to. I actually feel like I get more accomplished in a day when I'm working knowing home time isn't as easy to come by and I use that time more wisely. Now, I know there's always tomorrow to finish that one last load of laundry. :)

I think I will try to be more diligent with a workout schedule. That might be what gets Jeffrey and I more scheduled this fall. They have baby and mommy swim workouts at the pool as well as the stroller strides workouts (which are wonderful but just as expensive to attend as joining a gym). Both these are at the Issaquah Community Center. I like how they are trying to give mom's options to workout since they don't offer daycare services.

Anyways, here's some pictures of Leah, Grandma Deb, and Kate - Three generations. They look great and isn't Seattle a gorgeous city! :)

Goodbye Dr. Vidal

Jeffrey has had the most wonderful pediatrician since he was born, but unfortunetally she's moving to the east coast with her family. She was very personable, gave us great advice and treated Jeffrey wonderfully. We will trully miss her.

Our doctors appointment on Monday we weighed Jeffrey at 18 lb 2oz and 26 incches.

Good Morning

Jeffrey is such a delight in the mornings. We were just wrapping up breakfast on Sunday and John grabbed a few shots of me with my sweet little guy.

GO HAWKS

On Saturday, we received some tickets to one of the Seahawk's preseason games. It was Jeffrey and my first Seahawk's game. We sat in the bleacher seats at the end of Qwest field and the were sooo high and the climb was so steep. It was quite scary once you sat down, because it felt like if you moved a bit too far farward you would topple over hundreds of feet onto the field. I must say, the seats had an exceptional view as you can see from the pictures.

Visiting Grandpa

This last Friday, Jeffrey and I had breakfast with Amanda, Leah and Kate, saw John at work and then spent the afternoon at Papa's house where we later went out to mexican with John and Grandma Mary. Here's a picture of the boys - Papa, Dad and Jeffrey

First Food

Well Jeffrey is really getting into eating. We've had him eating a little rice cereal for the last few weeks and today we tried prunes. He ate them like a champ and I think wanted more. :) Here's a look at what I get to look forward to from here on out. FUN.

San Mateo here we come

We just returned from a short week in San Mateo, CA where John's sister, Lauri, and her family live. This was Jeffrey's first airplane ride and he did wonderfully!! On our way to SFO from Seattle our flight was delayed for two hours - recipe for disaster with an infant. To our surprise he was a seasoned traveler on his way to see his cousins Sofia and Zachary. :)

We had a great time during our visit. We left Wednesday afternoon and met everyone at their new house they just got posession of. Lauri and Renato are in the midst of planning for renovating this new house and it was fun to get the creative juices flowing. Thursday, John left for a conference in Napa so Jeffrey and I spent the day with Uncle Renato, Sofia and Zach. We walked to Peet's for coffee and breakfast and the headed over to the park where Sofia showed off her advanced climbing skills. Later, we spent some time at their current house for naps and a bit of time in the swing. :)
