    This past weekend we received a visit from Aunties Kami and Alicia who were on a mission to properly decorate Quince’s bedroom. Kami finished his bedroom linens earlier in the week. The overall finished product is far more than I would have dreamed, it looks amazing. Many thanks to them for a wonderful new place…

    Once again we embarked on the journey to Seattle to spend 3 days running around the Washington State Convention Center with thousands of other “otaku” at Sakuracon. Due to my state, there was actually no running involved but extra slow walking. This was ok, until I wanted to catch up with someone to get a…

    After starting this project in late Jan, we are finally done and have begun moving Quince’s stuff from the living room into his bedroom. Kami and Alicia are working on finding a day to come and properly decorate, so Richard and I haven’t put any effort into that. Depending on what they decide the final…

    Now at 36 weeks along we see the doctor once a week, and my uterus is so high she almost couldn’t find the top of it at this morning’s appointment. Never have I wanted more of a torso until now. I find myself in envy of those woman with long torsos, thinking to myself how…

    Sunday afternoon my sister Theresa hosted a baby shower for me at her father-in-law’s house. All I had to do was send her a guest list and she did the rest! It was amazing and I had a good time. Some of my friends I don’t see nearly enough, and I apologize to them for…

    Since I liked the idea of the one I made for Quince so much, I decided to make two more for two friends who are also pregnant. One of them just had their baby girl a couple weeks ago, while the other is due in the beginning of April(also with a girl). Here’s how the…

    Richard has been working hard on Quince’s bedroom in prep for the arrival of Kami and Alicia this weekend to add their creative touch using paint. Here are some quick pictures of the room in stages. When painting the ceiling Richard got a fancy white paint which rolls on pink and dries to a flat…

    In addition to having a number of visitors to the house over this last weekend, it also marked the start of our 3rd trimester. But before I rattle off the things about pregnancy, weekend adventures! (They are more interesting anyway). Saturday afternoon we were visited by Tj and his two brothers, Micah and Shilow. All…

    I made a blanket for Quince. In my time surfing the internet for items to add to our list of things to buy for him, I noticed that the picnic blanket(those with a vinyl backing to prevent getting wet) are very popular for babies. Of course they are smaller, and boast cute baby-friendly prints on…

    Hello! I hope that everyone had a great New Year’s and aren’t too hungover on this Jan 1st. Richard, Kami and I had a great dinner at a place in Sequim called Alderwood Bistro. We had heard about it, but never eaten there before, so we thought new year’s eve dinner would be a good…
