With just a few more weeks until Alina and Alberto’s Italian wedding, I jetted off to the east coast to join her and several friends for her bachelorette party.

The Rest of the Weekend
On our way home from our trip to Vancouver we made a pit stop at Overlake Hospital to visit baby Conner. Our friends Ali and Tyler had just delivered him that morning. Ali and Tyler are our only friends in Seattle who have kiddos and we just adore their daughter Vivian. We are both looking …
Easter Weekend
Our weekend kicked off with our first dog training session on Friday evening. We spent two and a half very productive hours with Katie, our trainer, getting the low-down on how to be better puppy parents. So far we love Katie’s suggestions! We worked on walking nicer on-leash {yes, mother, with loads of treats!}, jumping …
Packing, Sunshine and a New Dog Trainer
Two of our major priorities the last couple weeks have been getting Jackson and his anxiety under control and preparing for our trip to Europe this summer. We have mixed in a few fun activities the last few days to enjoy the unbelievably gorgeous weather, too! Last week we had Katie, a dog trainer from …
A Time to Remember
Alex and I lived together for a few years and even owned a house before we got married. We had been together through four years of college plus a few years after college and survived that transition into adulthood flawlessly. Because of those big details I didn’t really think that marriage would change our relationship. …

Weekly Recap
I’m not sure where the week went but somehow it’s Friday again! We haven’t had a particularly busy week, mostly just a lot of little things going on. I’ll start with a Jackson update. Last week Jackson got neutered. The procedure went very smoothly and he was basically back to normal the next day. Since …
Powder, Wine and New Slippers
It’s been a slightly quieter week here in the Allen household. We have been busy planning and preparing for my dad and brother to come visit us this weekend and somehow it is Wednesday evening now. The snow forecast is shaping up quite nicely for their ski trip so we’re really looking forward to their …
This Week’s Happenings
Not a whole lot is going on right now – well, not enough to warrant its own blog post, anyway. In any case, I’ve compiled what’s been happening lately over in our neck of the woods. Today Jackson turned 10 months! He weighs about 70 pounds. He definitely has some growing to do still – …
