Labor Day Weekend










We had a busy, fun-filled weekend.... and I'm finally getting around to posting. We were in Seattle Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the Cougar game. I know some of you watched, but it was definitely not something to get excited about. Not really a surprise though with a new coach. Hopefully we'll see some improvement through the season. Let's be more positive - we will!

Ella had a long day Saturday. She refused to nap before we left for the game and by the time the 2nd half rolled around (early afternoon), she'd had it with all the festivities and fell asleep in the baby bjorn while I walked her around. After the game, we all headed back to Gabe and Nancy's in Bellevue for a seafood boil. When I was in town last month, we'd done one too - the first. This was a huge step-up with rounds of food being cooked and set out for everyone. There was about 10-12 people there, but enough food to feed - maybe 20? We all stuffed ourselves - delicious! Ella went to bed about 7 pm without a peep and slept the whole night -even with party going on outside her room. What a girl!

We headed home on Sunday to enjoy a full day at home on Monday, since Seth had the day off. We took a picnic lunch to a park close to our house and saw that the symphony was going to have a small concert there later in the day. So we headed back to the park for the music - it was so fun! We'd heard about this concert in the past, but had never been. We want to start a tradition and go every year. There were tons of people there - with food, wine, kids..... everyone just hanging out and enjoying the beautiful park and music.

I'm so glad I got to be there for Ella's first game...and her first tailgating experience! The football may not be too great this year, but at least it means we get to come visit you guys a lot more in the next few months.

See you Thursday!
