The birthday week continues as we celebrated Jackson’s second birthday yesterday! He enjoyed a day at the dog park, swimming and playing ball, along with extra special treats, then he finished off the day with his own steak. Henry made sure to give him extra head bumps and stole some of his treats when he …

The Happenings
Since our return from Jackson Hole at this time last week our schedule has been fairly mellow. It has been a much easier re-entry to reality than after our trip to Mexico last month. I had a huge fundraising event that I helped put on for my work on Friday evening. The event was really fun, but …
Let’s Get Caught Up
Not a whole lot has happened since our trip to Mexico. Amidst the transition to my new full-time job, decompressing after our trip, watching House of Cards season 3 {honestly, we watched it fast so we could be done with it…}, enjoying the ah-mazing weather and trying to get into a new routine I neglected to …
The Happenings
While life has slowed down immensely over the last month {thankfully!} time still seems to be zipping right along. Alex and I have been thoroughly enjoying down time at home, trying to make the most of our empty schedules before the holidays and ski season and a crazy travel year sneak up on us, which …
A Jackson Update
We have come a very, very long way with Jackson since this time last year. By November 2013 our wildebeest dropped out of puppy class, was always near us or on top of our feet, weighed 55 pounds, was 6 months old, didn’t have the slightest interest in playing fetch or with tennis balls, was the …
A Perfect Weekend at Home
We are still recuperating from our very busy summer, so that made it extra nice to have a quiet, relaxing weekend at home. As if that wasn’t great enough on its own, the weather was absolutely fantastic. We are having quite the Indian summer here in Seattle and I am loving it, though I have …
Summer So Far…
The days have been coming and going so fast lately it’s hard to even recall what we have been up to over the last three weeks since we’ve returned home from our big Euro trip. Seattle summers are awesome. We put up with 9 months of rain for 3 months of perfection {shhh… don’t tell …
A Jackson Update
We have officially survived a month without our dog trainer. It has been really awesome thinking back to where we were with Jackson on his first birthday and how much things have changed in the 9 weeks since then. Certainly our dog is not perfect but he is so much better behaved. Alex and I …
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 …
A Low-Key Week
I have a feeling we’re in the midst of the calm before the storm right now. It’s a bit strange for us to not be overwhelmingly busy. We call the months of May, October and early November our “shoulder season” because it’s sort of the gap between our always busy summer and winter. I think …
