Whistler is one of Alex’s and my favorite places to visit and ski. The village is adorable and the mountains are extraordinary – Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America! We thought it would be the perfect destination for our first family-of-three vacation. Alex and I hadn’t been there together since 2013, …

Arizona Trip!
We met Alex’s family down in Arizona for a long weekend getaway last weekend. Alex’s parents, his sister, our brother in-law and their new baby, Nico, joined us in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area for some family time in the sun {and, as it turned out, the rain!}. It’s so much more complicated flying with an infant. …
The Happenings
February is flying by and is already nearly over! Both Alex and I have been really busy with work lately, not to mention busy trying to keep up with our growing boy. Here’s what’s been going on… Pancakes! Eggs! Pasta! Oh my! Mr. Ben has been stepping up his game with feeding himself legitimate solid …
Day in the Mountains
Alex’s dad has been out here for the long holiday weekend and was itching to go cross country skiing. We headed to our trusty spot at Hyak out at Snoqualmie Pass and showed him where we’ve been going this winter. The weather was pretty good – it was rather warm. Mother Nature was having a …
Spring!
I think Punxsutawney Phil was wrong… it has felt like spring here this past week {well, except for Wednesday when it was a monsoon!}! What a treat in mid-February. There are daffodils in bloom in our neighborhood and the sun has been shining brightly. Makes me excited for summer! I lucked out this week because …
The Happenings
It’s amazing how quickly things are changing around here. Ben is now 7 1/2 months old and I’m really pretty floored at how different things are today than they were three weeks ago when I was writing my post about him turning 7 months old. Our daily routine is in constant flux based on what’s …
Food!
The amount of time I’m spending in the kitchen either feeding Ben or preparing food for him in advance is on the rise. We’ve been trying to give him new foods as often as possible, which has been really fun! So far there really doesn’t seem to be anything he doesn’t like, though he …
New Winter Hobby
As a way to get out into the mountains and play in the snow, Alex and I have recently gotten into cross country skiing. We went one time last winter together and really enjoyed it. We’ve been missing our weekends in the snow this winter, so we decided to purchase a cross country gear set-up and …
Fall Family Photos
Back in mid-October we had a quick photo session with the photographer who took Ben’s newborn photos. We made the mistake of scheduling our time during his naptime and on a day where he was teething like crazy and had been carted all over Seattle. Needless to say he was not a happy camper for …
Ben is Six Months Old!
Our little boy is officially half a year old! It’s pretty incredible to think back on all of the milestones he’s hit in the last six months and how far he has come, and especially how many obstacles he’s overcome. All is well in our little family, but here’s what Ben is up to these …
