A Lunch Date of Sorts

On Sunday Maggie and I headed to Anacortes to meet up with Kara, Lara, Deneva and Jenni to have lunch at Jenni’s house. It was a delight in every sense of the word to see all my friends. Jenni is my newest friend out of these girls and I became friends with her in 7th grade, although I met her a couple years before that.

Thomas, being the only boy there, got super tired of all the girl talk and decided to take a snoozer on Deneva. I’m pretty sure she almost melted out of love for that guy.

Part of the reason that I love Anacortes so much is that the friends that I made growing up are truly life long. When we all get together, it feels like we’re back to our old ways….rehashing tidbits from our lives. I feel lucky to have a crew of girls that I have known for so long.

Also, thanks for the delicious lunch, Jenni!

Happy Halloween, Don’t Be Scared!

This morning my parents (happy anniversary – yay!)  stopped by on their way out of town to get some Maggie squeezes in and dropped off the largest zucchini in the universe. Maggie put on her first costume of the day and we measured her next to the zucch.

Kind of funny. We’ll be passing it on to Izak this week so he can make come tasty chocolate zucchini bread. Yummers!

Then, on our way to Trick or Treat at 3G’s house, we ran into Thomas and his parents. He was dressed as a bumble bee and SUPER cute. Maggie tried to eat him, which was also super cute.

Finally we went and played a few tricks at Great Grandma and Grandpa’s house…one of the tricks was to fall asleep before we were out of the driveway.

Maggie the Maestro

Maggie got her first piano today and is rockin’ out on it, which is really quite darling. We went on a walk this morning and almost got taken down by a flying pine cone – due to the high winds. It is definitely Fall here, which means that Maggie’s piano music will be great to listen to on these  windy, rainy days.

Sydney, however, is not impressed with the glorious piano music or the rainy weather. Just last night she bullied Barry out of bed to go outside and wouldn’t even step off the porch. She is such a fair-weather dog.

Barry is currently working with Maggie to incorporate some vocals with her piano playing….sounds interesting, to say the least.
