Our latest (and most likely last) road trip

This past weekend, we headed down to Portland, OR to shop for Baby Wille, tax-free, and to spend some quality time away before we lose that privilege for a while. We really liked the feel of Portland. Much like our old stomping ground of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.



When we got home we organized and put some finishing touches on the the baby's corner of the den. We're ready...sorta!

One shot from my Texas baby shower...

It was wonderful to see everyone and thanks to my sister and dear friends (Trish, Amanda, and Jess) for throwing me the shower. I can hardly believe we only have 9 weeks left. (how much bigger can I possible get?)

Slightly over budget this weekend...

We traded in my precious, 12 year-old honda civic for the more family size 2010 Honda CRV. Rainier was out tonight so we had a reason to go for a drive.

Dave Matthews at Columbia Gorge-Labor Day Weekend

There was a brief rain shower just as we got our tents up, so we could retreat to the car and watch it pass along with others peoples' tents and belongings.

The show was amazing from our 38th row seats. And baby Wille kicked throughout to show his/her enthusiasm.

Recent Seattle Skyline and Claudia's first day of school...big belly and all

Baby Wille update

We had our 20 week sonogram and all looked good. The baby was very active (my mom always said I'd have a child just like me...hyper).

Just another Seattle Day-A hike in the foothills of Mt. Baker and a beautiful sunset from our roof deck
