Whidbey Island Visit

Well, this was fun.  We took a day trip to Whidbey Island for Shane's birthday.  I had been once but never driven around.  We discovered the perfect Trifecta:  water views, mountains and agriculture.  Whidbey Island is now in our top 5 places to move in 10-15 years.  Maybe even the top three!

Best Visit Ever

I was thinking about the time I spent on maternity leave and how it is pretty much a blur.  And I realized I did not post about one of the highlights.  My mom watched my sister's daughter, Madi, for a few days so Kadene could visit us in October.  It was, hands down, the best visit ever for a number of reasons.  The first reason being it was just fun to introduce the chubmaster to one of his Aunts.  But, also, it is so easy to visit with ones sister.  I felt zero pressure to entertain and this visit took place around the same time Calder was super colic-y for about 3 weeks and stayed up all night screaming.  We were both content to watch episode after episode of Greys Anatomy and Private Practice on Hulu while holding the baby.  And she cooked for us.  Every Night!  And she cleaned out our refrigerator!  I, seriously, have no idea when that had happened before her visit.  Maybe, April?   Aunt Kadene is a super star with colic-y babies.
