Mormor and Pop-pop are here!

Sadly, they're gone back home to Maine already, but we just spent two wonderful weeks with my mom and dad (aka Mormor and Pop-pop) here in drizzly, gray Seattle! I love seeing my parents, JJ has fun with his in-laws, and Mathilde ADORES her grandparents. She had so much fun these past two weeks, I am nervous about sending her back to day care tomorrow. What is she going to do without Mormor's oatmeal or a trip on the #11 bus to the aquarium? What are my parents going to do without their #1 fan?? Seriously, it's going to be a tough transition back to "normal" life. But pictures help and here are some from our fabulous two weeks together...

Mathilde being her cute, stylish self:







Riding on boats (on a ferry to San Juan Island & napping on the whale watch - we saw humpbacks!!):




We saw lots of wildlife on San Juan Island including these adorable alpacas:




And we saw some beautiful, fun outside art by some local artists (Mathilde was less than thrilled but is always happy to come along for the ride in someone's arms):




Mathilde and I are very happy to announce that we finally have matching shirts (note: it's ok to wear tourist t-shirts from a local destination for mommy-daughter matching purposes!!)


A few days before Mormor & Pop-pop arrived, we celebrated mother's day in a local japanese gardens and with a bbq on our new deck. I meant to post these few pics earlier but we've been busy!





I am one lucky mama!!

Happy Memorial Weekend everyone!!

  2. Wow, I've never seen alpacas that have been recently shorn - they look like they should be sea creatures! Looks like you guys had a great visit with your parents. I can't believe how old Mathilde is looking, and can't wait to see all of you when you come to Maine this summer!
