We started our stay in The Federal Way a week before Christmas and have been lucky enough to stay since then. We've been hanging out with lots of family; the in-laws, Steve and Kathy and kids, Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Lowell, Grandma Harvey, Meaghan, Jason, John and Tiffany and kids, Michelle, Neil and Karen, and even with lots of friends. We got to spend a cold but fun afternoon in Seattle. Pike's Place is so full of color it's a great place to just walk around and look at the stuff. One of my favorite things though, was the gum wall. Gross but beautiful.
Brandon was able to play a round of Urban Golf at Decatur with Bobby, Danny and Mark.
And afterward was Danny and Julene's reception. So beautiful!! She was gorgeous and the deorations were wonderful and the dinner was delicious! It was an all around fun and wonderful night.
Brian, Brandon, Mark, Danny, and Bobby. They even called Adrian so he could be included even though he couldn't be there.
Steve and Kathy gave us a christmas-y lei and two cuddle soft blankets, one for Maggie (which she sleeps with every night now) and one for Brandon and I which is currently cuddling me now. It's so soft and the perfect size for couch cuddling.
As you can see, the lei is super special consisting of butterflies made from two one dollar bills, mini poinsettias, ribbons and dollar coins! A money necklace-exactly what we need.
Grandma and Grandpa were able to stay with us for a few days! We had so much fun with them, getting to know them and they getting to know Maggie.
Michelle and Maggie are besties. They had so much fun playing together! Maggie still asks to cuddle Michelle whenever her name is mentioned. We pray for her in her new internship in California. Lucky girl!
Not every day can be a good day. Especially hair wise.
Curiosity can find you some fun things! Maggie is moving around the house a lot more now. She cruises along all the furniture and even crawls for real sometimes! Head off the floor and everything. Maggie spends a lot of time with her forehead on the floor. In fact, much of her playtime by herself is spent that way, often accompanied by her butt in the air. I don't know why, but I suspect it helps her in some sensory way.
Maggie and her new friend Jack. We got to see Mark and Jackie while they came for a visit from Utah! It's interesting to see Maggie around other kids. She doesn't really care. We'll see what happens when we finally decide to put her into nursery. (The fact that she's 5 days from being old enough to go to nursery really weirds me out.)
And so you see the exciting life of those in search of a job. We've spent a lot of the last few months getting to know our families better, and them getting to know the fantastic Maggie. I love having Brandon home. He's wonderful to have around all the time, and Maggie loves it too. She is such a Daddy's girl! She says all the time "Kuhgn da da?" - cuddle dada - aka please pick me up and play with me! It's neat to see them play and have so much fun together. And I love having him near by all the time. We even get to go on dates sometimes to the temple or the cheap theater. Grandma loves to babysit. We all have so much fun together! We've not heard much from possible employers, but we pray and continue to look. If you've any knowledge of available jobs for a business major who loves baseball, please let us know!
