Round 1, then Round 2, Round 3...

Snow and I mean snow!
Round 1: hit the northern part of Western Washington leaving our house alittle sad with the dusting we got. But we have and still have a nice layer of ice. Leaving us at home to miss church

Round 2: Hit on Thursday the 18th and We got snow and I mean 4-5 inchs. Luckly Andrew got off work early, because all the banks were closing early because of the roads. Andrew didn't have to work Friday for the same reason. We did plenty of playing, which you will see the pictures below!

Friday and Saturday (until 1pm) we got a break; with the fear of the 3rd storm on the way Saturday night! The 3rd storm started around 1pm at our house. Lets just say traffic was bad and the stores were pack, not due to Christmas Shopping but of servival. Andrew, the Boys and myself meet at the hardware store. I thought since We are once again (second week in a row) miss church due to the weather. I wanted to tackle a project. I have been talking about painting the master bathroom, and so I did!

Round 3: Brought us in Fife (at sea level) 7inches and it's still snowing as I type and We are going once again outside to play in the snow. And on the eve of Eric's 5th birthday we are expecting the snow to last all night until 5pm tomorrow!

I have never seen this much snow in the Seattle area, and I have lived here 22 years. I'm not complaning at all, I love it and am hopefull for a white Christmas

Sweet Nap Time...

After dropping Eric off at Pre-K, I come home and put Ethan down for a nap. Well yesterday I guess he wanted to rock; so he got all his blankets and favorite stuffed animals and got all cozy. I walked into the room to wake him up expecting him to be in his bed, but found him like this! He's so cute, I just want to eat him up!

10 years ago...


Today is our wedding anniversary! I can't believe 10 years has come and gone, where did that time go!?! I fall more in love with my husband everyday and can't picture my life without him. He is truly amazing to me and our children. Andrew got me a special gift this year, it's a necklace (the picture below.) We are also planning on having an adult dinner next week!

my necklace... Jane Seymour's Open Hearts

Strange Cloud in our sky...

I thought this was interesting, it looks like the start of a tornado cloud.

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!

This is our favorite time of year, just the reminder of Jesus' birth and why he came to us on that cold night. Here's what our home looks like this year.
