Trip to Seattle


A few weeks ago Mark had a seminar for his upcoming test, in Seattle. This sunset is off the coast in downtonw Seattle. He was going to see Sarah's sister and her family, who live there, before coming home and then Sarah's sister had this awesome idea... bring Adriana to spend a few days with them! This would be the first time Adriana would be away from us except for one night so it was hard to decide, but we thought it would be great for her and mom! My sister has 4 girls so we knew she would have a blast, which she did! It was SO nice of them to take on an active 1 year old to let her poor mom have a much needed rest.

Here are some shots from the trip.
Mark had a great 4 hour flight each way with Adriana and luckily she only had to be on his lap on the way home.










The whole gang, saying goodbye.



With Adriana and Mark gone, my parents decided to come down and give me some help with the house since I'm pretty limited. We moved Adriana to a new room and got the nursery all ready. It was amazing to see how much they could do in just a few days! They really did it all, including cleaning the whole house! My dad was the painter and my mom and I decorated and she cleaned and organized. It was great to do a few projects of my own and get some good rest in too.

Here is the office when we were moving in...


Then in the process of changing it into Adriana's new room...


And Adriana's new room, with her big bed! (She's only slept there once, but it will come)


What Adriana's room was before...


Then as we transform it into a double nursery...


Ready for our 2 little peas in a pod!

The rooms look great! I especially like Adriana's new room. I would've loved having my own room like that when I was little!

So impressive! And what great family you guys have to help you make that all happen. (PS: Can Adriana get any cuter?)

Bet that feels so good to get more things prepped for your newborns' arrival! How thoughtful everyone is! Glad Adriana had a good time with her cousins.

Sounds like Adriana had a fun business trip! I also like the first picture. And the rooms are looking really good, that's quite a transformation!

That was so nice your folks could help you out like that...like the show, Weekend Warriors! Hope all is well...only 48 days? Probably less right? Take care.

So cute! Gotta love those piggy tails! : ) And I love how you disguised Adri's crip with blanket's so she wouldn't choose it over her new 'big girl' bed. : )
