Top 10 for the Week of Feb 15



I didn't mean to post only on a weekly basis, but this week was: busy, El hasn't been sleeping well, and I've had a headache (from lack of sleep?), so blogging has taken a backseat to some quiet time. I'll try and post more frequently during the week.

* We had a lovely Valentine's day. A trip to Seattle! Ooh, big adventure! We walked through Pike Place Market (more about this later) and had lunch at my favorite restaurant, Wild Ginger - can't wait for them to open in Bellevue later this year! Yay!

* Evan has asked to have a fish tank in his room, taking inspiration from Emily and her goldfish. We went to the fish store on Monday to pick out the fish he will get.

* We had our friends, Wendy and Isabel, over for a play date and dinner. Very fun times and some of Wendy's famous yummy dip! mmm!

* I finally got around to taking Ellena in to have her 6 month portraits done. And didn't spend an arm and a leg! Score!

* Have started working on some sewing projects that have been fun, productive and rewarding. Next up, hemming some pants for a friend and then starting on the family's outfits for El's first bday luau this summer.

* Ellena has really started exploring her surroundings. She will roll over and over and over until she bumps into something. And then she thinks it's so cool! She has been amazed to feel the difference of hardwood floors compared to carpet. Genius in the making!

* El's top two teeth poked through yesterday! She now has 4 teeth and hopefully will be sleeping better... until the next teeth come out!

* Evan and I started a mini greenhouse to grow our own basil, parsley and chives. We'll see how that goes...

* Evan has discovered the joys of Nintendo DS (Pops's new toy). His favorite game - Bob the Builder.

* El is loving her Cheerios! She devours the Gerber puffs, but it's nice to offer her something different.
