Boundry Bay IPA

It was Andy's 21st Birthday yesterday, we had a great time with friends and family at Boundary Bay Brewery! I couldn't remember if it was Andy's birthday or mine, after feeling week in the knees due to 1/2 a beer, boy I forgot what it felt like to have a drink! Don't worry Cate didn't have to suffer the ill effects of my carelessness, Chris drove us home and I "pumped and dumped".

Walk the line

Cate is now enjoying her "walker" more then ever. Although at times she feels like she should be able to "walk" with out it, her legs and feet think otherwise!

Can 'o' corn

Coach Chris makes his debut today!!! Chris is helping coach with the local boy's and girl's club baseball league. His team is made up of 9-10 year old boys, who are very eager to learn the game. Chris finally gets to put all his years of baseball to good use! I think this will be the first year Chris actually wants the "A's" to do well!!! For the next 3 months we bleed green and gold!!! GO A's!!!!

Easter Sunday

We all had a great time on Easter, even though the weather was horrendous & Mass was an hour and 45 minutes long. On a positive note we all learned that Papa will most likely be voting for Obama!!! We have taken him to the dark side! Cate thanks you in advance Papa!!!

Thanks to the Easter Bunny for bringing Cate so many great toys, the bubbles are her favorite!!

Good Friday, or not so good Friday

Chris's quest to conquer the march madness bracket at his work, isn't going as well as his ego would have expected. Sorry dear:(
He remains in 4th place.
He still has high hopes.
I cant wait until I don't have to hear about it anymore!
Cate is also very distraught about the whole situation!

It is what it is...




Well this was a day we were hoping would never come. Today we had to retire the coffee table to the garage :(, the replacement... a loner (thanks Nana and Papa) ottoman. Yes, Cate had one to many "confrontations" or rather Cate's forehead/ face had one to may confrontations with the coffee table. Now that Cate has more padded room to roam, shes more daring then ever, she now thinks its great to see if she can balance between the ottoman and couch. Were starting a pool to see when she will walk. I think shes taking after her "sorta cousin": man of steel and scars, Mr. Evil Knievel.
She also has found a new way to "explore" new textures, by using her bare behind!

Spring Forward


So we "survived" the changing of the guard, so to speak. Cate did well with the time change. We had a very successful weekend which included rearranging the office, with a 8 month old crawling everywhere that's pretty darn productive! Or thats what we have now come to terms with as being productive!

We also susesfully took Cathryn's pacifier away!!! Yeah!!
Cate is very excited to see her "Tetta Kel" (aunt Kelsey) who we will be picking up from the big city of Seattle, it will be Cates 1st (and hopefully not last) trip to Seattle U!

Compasion = Change

"Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compasion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you dont't really want to smile at at all." ~ Mother Teresa
