I’m a happy mom

because I had a very happy mother’s day, thanks to a great visit with some very special people. Thanks too, to Nana and Pepere for having the whole gang down to enjoy some quality time and the great weather.

sleepover with Max

A couple of weeks ago, dear old friends, Linda and Martin, came back to town from D.C. for a visit with their Seattle folk. They had a wedding to attend on Wednesday (yes, Wednesday) so we offered to take Max for the night. Linda is notorious for scheduling every minute of her free time, so it was a tiny bit of insurance that we’d catch them in our sites and plant some big Xs and Os on them. Well worth it. Max was the perfect guest and the girls had a blast playing hostess.

Max, you were lovely and we’d be happy to have you the next time you breeze through town! Just be sure to bring your folks along next time ;)

springtime visit

Grandma Lani came to town, so the St. Alonzos headed down Vancouver-way. The girls had a lovely time mixing it up with the fam on the farm. The weather wasn’t quite fit for outside excursions but here are some highlights from the weekend:
