Christmas Eve

I know, I'm going backwards. But, these Christmas eve pictures from my mom are pretty cute. Those pictures of the whole family outside is after we arrived at my parents' house after walking from Greenwood. We are real troopers! Of course, Ramona slept the whole way.....we were all very jealous of her. We had a great holidays, but we are definitely looking forward to getting back to our regular routines (especially the gym visits!).

Christmas

Snowy days

We have been having a blast staying inside and being cozy in our new house. However, today we ventured out and took a walk to the store. We went to Neptune Coffee and ran into our neighbors who we sat with and talked to. Then, we went to Top Ten Toys to buy some stickers for Ramona, because she is on a sticker kick. Then we went to Fred Meyer where we bought her some non-Mary Jane shoes. We wanted boots, but they were all out, so we settled for some tough looking boy shoes that were about ten dollars. She loves them. Then we went shopping at Greenwood Market, where Ramona pushed the little cart and was in general, a menace.

We met some other neighbors today too, as they are all out shoveling snow.....it has been really nice to meet them. Most are families, or couples our age. We've also seen a lot of Courtney, Charlie, Shannon, Robb, Kim and Ben who have been walking over to our house (except for Ben, who is from the midwest and insists on driving places.....he is biking to the Seahawks game right now.....crazy).

Hope everybody is having their own fun in the snow......

We are having fun in the snow over here in Seattle. Its supposed to snow tomorrow again, so this should be a "stay at home" kind of week. Also, we'll be staying at home anyways because Ramona has some eye infection that she is on antibiotics for. I'm not including any pictures of her today, because the infection has taken a toll on her cuteness factor.

Home II

home

I just received an e-mail from a friend who lives far, far away (ok, S. California), and she asked about the new house. I realized that none of my pictures of the house do it justice, and I'd like to share with those far away friends (and those close by who haven't seen it yet) what kind of house we've been living in for the last few weeks. So, at 7:30 in the morning I started taking pictures. Max seemed determined to get into all of the pictures, but I had a hard time convincing Ramona to break from her playing to get in the pictures. Look, Max is even in the window in the picture of the outside of the house. He is a little attention hound (ha, ha!).

I've posted a few times since I can't fit all of the pictures in one post.
