We are tanner and I found out today a few pounds heavier (well, at least I am...pretty sure my fast-moving-metabolism husband is the same weight he's been for years). We had the best time, and I hope to post pictures and write a little something tonight...of course while enjoying a little Bachelor action.
Stay tuned...

Chillaxin
Ahhh...a hard day of playing, a long day at work=Lilah and daddy hangin' on the floor. What a sweet thing to see when I walk into the living room.
Winter Sunshine With Our Girlfriends
We have enjoyed our time with the King girls. While Emily finishes up school for the next 6 months, her and her girls are here in Kirkland. We've gotten to go running and have plenty of playdates. Last week on a sunny afternoon we met the girls to hang out. Right next to their condo is this little beachy area and it is perfect. The girls fed bread to the ducks, threw rocks in the water, did bubbles and ate snacks. It was great and just a hop, skip and a jump from their condo. Lilah continues to ask for Emily, Belle, and Luci all the time (when she wakes up in the morning, up from naps, when we head to the gym).
Countdown...
Less than 2 WEEKS until we leave for Hawaii...I can't decide at this point whether to cry or get crazy excited. I think Lance is choosing to get crazy excited. I will probably do all of the crying. Then, when we get on the plane and I sit down to read my first book or gossip mag, I can get crazy excited. Hopefully.

Jackie's 28th Birthday
Jackie just turned...um....28. Only two more years until the big 3-0!!!! ;)
Us girls decided last year that we would do small gifts (books) for the kids (who already get SO MUCH for their birthdays) and still do gifts and a fun outing together to celebrate. Once you have kids it's all about them, and you don't get many chances to celebrate you and have good food, drinks and relaxing time with friends. Jackie decided that she wanted to do happy hour for her birthday (even being 7 months pregnant). Sarah picked a cool little place in Belltown (List) and we had so much delicious food (I'm still dreaming of the creamy gnocchi) and nice wine. Most importantly, like always, we pick up like it has just been yesterday and enjoy each other's company. It was perfect! For dessert we decided to venture down to El Gaucho and shared bananas foster (made tableside..mmmm).
Happy 28th my dear Jacqueline!
Goin' on a Hike...Or, A Nature Walk
I haven't hiked for years and years. I used to think I liked hiking, but really I just like to exercise and be in the sun. With hiking you definitely get the exercising part (well, usually) but in the Pacific NW, you get very little sun. Hiking around here means trees, wilderness, wildlife. Let's face it...I just like the sun. I could really forego the nature part and just be in the sun. I think I may really, really love hiking in Arizona. Sun and exercise.
Anyhow we did go hiking with Mike, Julie and Samson on Saturday. It was a beautiful day (well, mostly muddy and grey while we were on our "hike") and was a great idea they had to get out and do something active with the kids. :) It was Lilah's first hike and Samson's (although Samson is almost 2 months old and Lilah is almost 2 years old).
Samson spent most of the hike snuggled next to his daddy in the moby wrap. Hard life. Lilah spent about half of the hike in this great backpack we borrowed from Emily. However, she's a mover and a shaker, and finally we had to turn around and head back, letting her walk part of the way (but it was almost 2 miles in, so not too bad). She had a few falls in the dirt and mud, but I think had a great time. Her favorite part was seeing the horses, dogs and cows on the way there and along the trail.
It was nice to get out and do something active and spend time with Mike and Julie. We just really enjoy their company and we always have a good time together - laughing, joking, giving advice, and praying together. The best part of our nature walk/hike...the 6 of us standing in a circle and Mike praying for all of us at the end.
Thanks Muchlinskis for a great day!
