Off to Seattle!

Train ride to and fro, great friends, glasses of sangria, carne asada/fish tacos down by the lake, LOVELY weather, flip flops, espresso chip ice cream from a family owned ice cream shoppe, homemade pulled chicken sandwiches, lemon whippersnapper cookies ( and chocolate chip), a stroll through Pike Place market, a text from our realtor saying that we are expecting an offer on our place tomorrow, and TWO nights in a row of baby Elijah sleeping through the night?

Needless to say, the weekend was perfect. Abundance. Thank you Lord! And thank you to the Conniff's  for a wonderful weekend.

Happy 9 month birthday Lijy!

Well, I passed the test at the doctor's office! I'm officially on track and allowed to eat an assortment of big boy food including pizza crusts, garden burgers, the usual fruits and veggies, pancakes and burritos! but please, no more prunes and oatmeal because you know what happens every time I do Mom! I blowout the nasty all over the place! Besides my occasional flare ups of eczema and super sensitive skin, I think I'm good until my one year appointment!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there!!

The Silken Tent

She is as in a field a silken tent
At midday when the sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,
So that in guys it gently sways at ease,
And its supporting central cedar pole,
That is its pinnacle to heavenward
And signifies the sureness of the soul,
Seems to owe naught to any single cord,
But strictly held by none, is loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To every thing on earth the compass round,
And only by one's going slightly taut
In the capriciousness of summer air
Is of the slightlest bondage made aware.
Robert Frost

Feliz Cinco De Mayo!!

Are you kidding me? What is better than chips and guacamole, ceviche, carne asada tacos and a big ole glass of sangria on Cinco De Mayo?? Can't say I'd rather be anywhere else than this cute little whole in the wall that is very close to the best tasting tacos from Cabo! Yum......for those of you in Portland, you have to try this place! It's SO good!

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! Hope you spent it wisely! or still are...

We are ready for summer!
