Seattle-Day 2

Seattle is just too lovely.  Armed with our list of "to do's" we painted the town red.  First up, the much talked about Pike's Market Place...

Our eatery stop at, Michou, a fine pasta, sandwich shop.  

Absolutely yumlicious!

Next on list...

the acclaimed Russian pastry spot- Piroshky Piroshky

Another yum!

Next... of course the Starbucks that started it all...

Then, a little tiny shopping :)

She was great, we love her so and glad she was our tourist partner.

Next up... awesome Thrifty Finds!

Lovely excited to see Atari game console.

Had to stop to refuel at Hi-Life, a unique spot because of its building being an old fire station...wish I could live in it!

And last on our list for the night, "Seattle's Best Cupcake" Cupcake Royale

The verdict--- 

their "Red Velvet," a 5 out of 10!  Very disappointing.  They got NOTHING on Sprinkles!

To end the night (yes, it's this bright out at 9:45PM!) a beautiful drive up to see the sun set with the generous Mr. & Mrs. Robertsons (the couple PJ was staying with for a weekend each month).  A productive, wonderful, non- exhausting day.  We were thankful to God for this vacation, he is much too kind.

Grad Nite

My first day in the wonderful land of Seattle, I was smitten by the geography.  I would love to live here! But my lovely hubby said no :(

With no time a'wasting, for lunch, before Lovely's graduation...

we headed over to the much talked about hoggie spot, Tat's.  We both enjoyed our hoggies, very yummy.

Then mingling before the ceremony at MarsHill Church in downtown.

Story congratulating her abba

and encouraging him to press on.

After, we were charmed with a dinner cruise around Seattle with all of the graduates and their wives.

Story taking some attention with her much talked about hair do :)

Gawking views of the city.

Making friends and celebrating our husbands accomplishments.

With all their goofing off, you'd think, "what did they accomplish???"

A swell night.  Meeting some of the wives was a definite highlight.  Some amazing, encouraging ladies.  God was too kind.

Reading With Key

PJ likes when Key reads to him.  I think because he gets to take a little 5 minute nap.  She enjoys being near him, and he cherishes every minute.

Flashback: Rock tricks Peepai

One night when Rock was 3 years old, he slept over the Diamond Bar house and my cousin Peepai was taking care of him. He was listening to her and obeying her directions. Then he says to her, "I'm good, ha Peepai?" My cousin hesitated, then said, "Yeah." Rock quickly retorts, "No I am not. I'm a sinner!"

Good times. Well, he's learning biblical truth. I asked him today if he was good and he said yes. Oh how quickly they forget.

3 weeks and counting...

She is too cute and precious.  I need to savor every minute.

Walking Around

Being cooped up in our apartment could make me a little crazy but taking walks around our neighborhood has been refreshing for the kids and myself, and not to mention a little exercise for all.

My precious Story loves taking walks.  Maybe she thinks she's back in the womb with all the noise and movement.  I love her!
