Sluggish

It has been a week since we have been home and I have nothing to show for it. I feel like I have been eating, cleaning, and fussing about baby food. So is the life of a mom. Piper has been waking up every 2-3 hours in the night again so some tough love has been in place. I might not have to go in and deal with her, but I am still waking up on that schedule and it is starting to take its toll on me.

I love our veggie box.

My baby is not a fan of baby food.

Laundry, laundry, laundry.  At least it is cute.

Loners

I post this blog from my comfortable computer in my comfortable home. I have all my things back and am faced with comforting chores, but I feel like something is missing. I miss the Seattle hustle and bustle. I miss people walking by on the street. I miss the bridges. I miss the water. For now, I will be okay with heading to Safeway for some groceries so I can make a home-cooked meal for dinner. Memories of what it was like to pick Andrew up downtown one night:

 

Home Now

I miss you Seattle.

Seattle Library

Mom, I found your library Mecca.  10 floors of books.  The Seattle Public Library is top notch. 

I am still surprised how hilly it is here.  It is just like driving in SF.

Kid Time

I have been seeing Seattle on my terms.  My children have been so great through this, with the occasional, embarrassing public meltdown.   They deserve a morning dedicated to kid things.  First, the Fremont troll bridge.  Blake said he had been planning his ninja attacks for the last couple of days.  Seattle is so flipping kid friendly I am going bonkers with admiration.  Every community center has drop-in tot times all week long starting in the fall.  It is $3/per kid and you can buy punch cards.

Full, Busy Day

* My baby won't eat baby food, but she devoured refried beans at a Mexican food restaurant.  Duh, why didn't I think of that.  She is Mini Miss Andrew.

*Bad traffic on the way to pick Andrew up from work.

* A "friend's" house with a view.

* Google Kirkland.
