A few weeks ago our sweet dog, Jackson, caught his last ball and went for his last walk. He was battling an aggressive cancer and was showing early signs of internal bleeding. Before it got too bad, we made the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye. I truly can’t imagine a better family dog than …

The Happenings
This last week flew by! I’m not sure where the time really went, to be perfectly honest. Here are some of the highlights from our last week of January… The weather goes in both the highlight and lowlight category – we had several days of complete and utter downpours but then we had just as …
Winter Break!
For the first year ever, Alex took off the two weeks surrounding Christmas and New Years and we stayed home with no plans or agenda. It was wonderful and so perfect. One of the biggest highlights was sleeping in, popping some cinnamon rolls in the oven, lighting a fire and hanging out in the living room …
Merry Christmas!
It’s our first Christmas at home. Ever. Just the two of us. And we are so enjoying each other’s company, the beautiful fire in our fireplace and simply being home together. I’m fairly certain we’ve seen our extended family more this year than any other year since moving to Seattle, which we are both very …
Ski Season is Here!
Alex and I packed up our car and headed for Crystal Mountain yesterday to take advantage of the ski season getting started! Last year our ski season was very short-lived in Washington – there was only one day where we woke up at our house and drove to the mountain and skied in Washington last …
This Week’s Happenings
It has been a busy week back since we returned from our trip to Mexico! Our pets were very happy to have us back home – they’ve both been extra cuddly and sweet this week. We’ve got to be getting closer to the moment of walking into our bedroom and finding Henry snuggled up with …
Willamette Valley Wine Trip
The Willamette Valley wine region in Oregon has been on our list of places to visit for quite some time now. From Seattle, it’s only a 3 1/2 hour drive down to the famous pinot noir wine region in Oregon, so we finally booked a trip and made it happen. My friend from Minnesota, Sarah, …
Weekend Trip to Lake Chelan
Lake Chelan has been on our “to visit” list for several years and now that we’ve been, I can’t believe it took us this long to make it happen. At 55 miles long, Lake Chelan is the largest lake in Washington and is located in the middle of the state, about 3 hours east of …
Summer is Here!
Summer has arrived in Seattle! The transition from our beautiful, amazing spring to summer took place over the last week or so and it seems like the new season is here to stay. The highs all weekend were in the mid-80s, which is considered very warm {and a little unusual} for Seattle. I have a feeling we …
Weekend Parties & Projects
As the saying goes “work hard, play hard” – we definitely can succeed at both! This weekend was a nice mix of getting stuff done and having a good time. It was a gorgeous day on Friday {goodbye productivity during the workday… hello spring!} so we kicked off the weekend with burgers on the grill …
