A Wednesday to Remember!















Trading Sunglasses back and forth.



















I love my Wednesdays with Harper and Lily! They are such great little buddies.... they eat together, share toys (most of the time), play together almost the entire day, when one of them does something the other one wants to do the same thing. So when Lily had to have a bath Harper of course wanted in also.... I had to hurry and get him undressed he was trying to climb in the tub on his own and even tossed his shoes into the water. Watching Harper has made Lily be a little more adventurous! She even tried his milk and didn't spit it out for the first time. And I am pretty sure watching him is how she learned to crawl and she has been watching him walk lately....soooo....
When Sue came to pick up Harper we sat down and Lily took her first unassisted steps...I know that it is common knowledge that I can get excited about these things ahead of time... but Sue even said those were steps!!! It was fun, Harper stood and clapped and cheered Lily on the entire time! When Pat got home he had a chance to be apart of it himself.

Weekend with the MacLeods in Ballard



A beautiful sunny day at Golden Gardens.... sailboats out everywhere, birds, ducks, dogs, and kids in swimsuits! (it was too cold for swimsuits)




Frances, Karen (wearing Lily's sunglasses), Grant, Sarah and Sweet Grace at Golden Gardens.

















Lily loves her Cousin Grace, she gave her lots of kisses!









Oh so sweet cuddle time with Auntie Sarah... Lily looks so much like her Auntie Sarah!



We spend the weekend with all of the MacLeods... Frances, Karen, Grant, Sarah and Grace. Karen is visiting from Glasgow Scotland for a few weeks. I am ashamed to say that I did not get one picture of little Grace's entire face this time, she has grown so much in 3 weeks and is so darn sweet! Lily was excited to be back at her Uncle Grant and Auntie Sarah's house and she was instantly interested in Grace again! She also went right up the stairs for the first time.

We celebrated Grant's birthday with Sarah's incredible crab lasagna, walked ALL over Ballard and down to Golden Gardens, had trips to Java Bean, dinner out to our favorite Thai food restaurant, walked around the Ballard Sunday Farmers Market and had a great time visiting with everyone and catching up with Karen! I LOVE Ballard, always have and always will!!! In fact when I lived there years ago I had shirts made that said just that!
I was in heaven getting so much time with Pat and Lily and all the MacLeods and spending time in one of my favorite places ever! I am soooooo happy that Grant and Sarah live there! It was a wonderful weekend!




Friday Mom Squad at Our House

Sue had my camera.... I love it when Sue has my camera.... I was inside practicing massage and didn't even know that all the kiddos were outside. It is SPRING!!! I am so darn HAPPY that it is Spring!!!!!




Mary taking care of Lily and Tucker and drinking coffee all while bring Lily to see Gus and I am sure she is saying "dog" over and over and over again in Mary's ear.
