Birthday!

I turned twenty-six years old yesterday (not twenty-four like I told someone last week). It was Sunday, so after church, we all met up at my parents' house and had dinner and ice cream cake and then drove to downtown Tacoma and rode the link to the Theater District to catch the tail end of the Broadway Center Fall Free For All, which culminated in an edition of the Tacoma Round.

It was a very special birthday.

Baby Parkinson #2

Due March 20, 2013

Charissa's House

My friend Charissa and her husband Chris recently bought a house in Northridge, just a bit north of Vancouver, WA. So Ezra and I, along with Auntie Ruth (or "Foof") went down for a brief visit.

Mischevious Little Boy

Ezra is quite the climber:

He army crawled to the office/nursery.

He climbed up on Daddy's chair (you can see his trail of previous destruction).

He typed on the keyboard.

He pushed buttons on the printer.

Second Anniversary Mariner's Game

Seth was in Yakama at Sacred Road with our church over our actual second anniversary, so we celebrated a few weeks later by going to a Mariner's game.

A week earlier, Felix Hernandez pitched the twenty-first perfect game in MLB history, so to celebrate the Mariner's gave away King's Corner t-shirts to everyone who came to the game, in order to make a "supreme King's court".  It was really fun to see how many fans came out to the game and to look out at the stands and see bright yellow everywhere. Of course, each run the M's scored just amped up the excitement. It was a great game.

Two years!

Seven straight!

To cap off the night, my parents kept Ezra overnight and thus we officially began the weening process.


Update! We took this photo at the game, so that Baby #2 would also have an in utero at the Mariner's game photo, but didn't reveal it until now.

First pregnancy photo!

Peter and Kelsey Got Married!

Yay! Peter and Kelsey got married!

They had a lovely ceremony in UPS' Kilworth Chapel, followed up with a reception at the Titlow Lodge.

Seth was one of the groomsmen, and of course, the most handsome.

Kelsey and her bridesmaids and church spent a lot of love and care creating decorations and food, which was really sweet. We even came home with handmade vanilla and hand folded paper flowers.
