We have had such a wonderful week with Casey’s parents here visiting.  They got the ultimate luck – a week of beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures during February in Seattle!  We have taken advantage and done things like taking long walks at Greenlake…

And tested Cullen directly in his stroller (without the car seat attachment) before taking it to Hawaii.  He made it half way around the lake before falling apart – not bad!

He is lucky to be spoiled rotten and have grandparents who are willing to carry all 16 chunky pounds of him. 

And we’ve taken our pups on walks to Gas Works to take in the views. 

While Casey has been at work, I’ve been doing my best to entertain the grandparents and show them all of the best that Seattle has to offer.  I’m trying to lure them out west with mountains, sights, and a cute baby!

And now that our vacation has arrived, I have been tackling my to-do list and getting us ready. 

The pups have gone to play at the ranch…

And I have cooked and eaten everything perishable that was left in my refrigerator.  I am stuffed.

And now we are somewhere over the Pacific, headed to Maui for eight days of sun, sand, and some much needed relaxation.  Maybe even some sleep!  I’m hoping that my little munchkin is enjoying his flight, and looks something like this…

And for a little Friday fun, here’s a short video that Cullen and I recorded before we left – just to say HI!

(Look at how much he’s changed since the last time I did a video when he was just nine weeks!)

Fun Fact:  I have never seen the Pacific Ocean!  That changes…now!  See you in Hawaii!
