I’m not sure if there is anything better than a weekend in Portland with Michelle and Andrea. Especially when it includes sleeping in until 10, two brunches at Mother’s, cocktails, movies, and a lot of shopping. Best. Weekend. Ever.
  

Best biscuits and gravy ever! Ever. 

Michelle was pretty tempted to buy this jacket. You can’t blame her, really.

Gelato!

My sneaky friends got me this for my birthday.

Berry cobbler!

Love them!

I also have to give a shout out to Lindsey and the Kearney’s for letting me crash at their places. That’s how the best weekend ever becomes even better!

J turned 6 a week ago. He counted down the days for a month, though at one point he became convinced that we somehow missed it. His birthday was great fun, as all birthdays should be. There was…


new legos…


shark cupcakes…


mad bowling skills…


at least one strike…


and friends!

Happy 6th birthday, Guapo. We sure do like you!

thankful for…

Skype, which lets me talk to one of my favorite persons (she’s definitely in my top 2 or 3) and lets my kids talk to her kids (her daughter is A’s BFF). Oh…I guess I should mention that she is sitting in a hotel in Bahrain, wondering what is going to happen next.

Love you ekg!

A trip to Bahrain.

Yes, that Bahrain.

One of my very favorite friends is moving there today. I moved away from her last summer, so I’m surprised at how sad I am about this. But, a flight to Seattle is so much shorter and cheaper than a flight to the Persian Gulf. A, being best friends with her daughter, has decided we should go there next summer. I’m not convinced that is going to happen (especially since summer in the desert sounds rather unpleasant). Maybe for Christmas. Maybe.

Until then we’ll have to figure out Skype.

I was cleaning out my Facebook inbox last night and there were dozens and dozens of emails we had sent back and forth the past couple years, mostly involving watching each others kids, rides to Girl Scouts, girls night out. Boy do I miss having her live a couple miles from me.
