Sounders FC Playoff Game

Ugh, a 0-0 draw.... not what we were aiming for, but a fun time despite the outcome. The officiating still sucks. I wonder if they'll ever come up with a solution there.

Seattle Aids Walk - Team PATH - 2009

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the Lifelong Seattle Aids Walk. We went this morning with Team PATH and walked the 5K. It was the first year in 5 years that it has been a sunny walk. It was a beautiful day and there was a great turnout. I think the walk raised about $500,000 total!

Seattle Sounders v. Barcelona!!

Miles' first soccer game was probably the most highly attended game of the season. We prepped him with earplugs, a hat and a couple layers via the moby wrap and he slept the entire game save for a short eating session.

A friend from work brought back a Messi jersey from his recent trip to Spain for Miles. He was the only one of us with the gear :)

Barcelona is a treat to watch live. The MLS is great and all, but nothing in comparison. We're so lucky to have Chelsea and Barcelona visit us our first year in the MLS.

We did it!!

We're in!! We're Islanders! We're on the big rock! And if you can't tell, I'm so very excited!

I'm incredibly grateful for all the help from friends and my parents. Overall, it was a smooth move.

Pictures later.... we're living in a house full of boxes - not very picture friendly.

Have a good weekend all!

Moving Day

Tomorrow is the big day! We'll be Islanders! Let me just say that I cannot wait until Sunday.... kick my feet up, drink a virgin mojito, relax out by the pond. Some may say its genius to plan a move when you're 9 months pregnant because I won't have to "move" any of the boxes and furniture and such. You'd be wrong. Packing is no fun for pregnant ladies!! And as much as I usually love unpacking.... it doesn't sound very enticing right now either. But, I'm really not trying to complain. I'm so very excited about the move and I know there's an end in sight. Chris and G-pa painted the rooms last weekend. They look fantastic. I can't wait to get some stuff up on the walls :)

Hope everyone has a good solstice weekend. If you're going to any brewfests, have a cold one for me. I'd prefer if you could make it a nice local hoppy IPA versus any Anheuser-Busch product - thanks.

We went sailing last night on Lake Union with Tantivy and her crew. Chris worked foredeck and I was the photographer for the evening. It's weird not working on the boat, but it's fun playing with the camera :)
