Trying to think of something to post... not much has happened since last week.. the weather has quite frankly stunk... below freezing, foggy and blah... no sun - what-so-ever!
Saturday afternoon we headed to Seattle...
The kiddos were watching fishing in Puget Sound while we waited for the ferry - how convenient that we were 3 minutes late and missed the ferry.. so we were 2nd in line to get on the next one!
Saturday night we spent at the Best Western where the hubby has been spending all his working nights away... Big Al is enjoying watching tv in bed!
Miss O likes having alot of mirrors in the bathroom so she can watch herself brush her teeth and make cute faces at herself...
Saturday we spent about 2 hours at the Fun Center in Tukwila.. we spent the $25 so we could all ride the bumper boats (yep - in the cold!) Miss O and I had fun whipping around in circles..
The hubby was a bit too tall for the boat - but had fun as well chasing the kids across the little pool.
Big Al was in his element racing around harassing other drivers... he does that well!
Little J liked the speed and the fact that he was able to smash the boat into his brother... no surprise there!We had dinner Saturday night with my brother, Uncle Steve... the kids enjoy a good night with their uncle... we had a good - albeit expensive dinner at Jimmy Macs, one of the hubbys favorite places to eat!
And Sunday - we spent a few hours on Bainbridge Island, working on our adoption homestudy. We decided to go ahead and have Miss O readopted here in the US, so that she is able to get a US birth certificate. Not that the readoption is necessary or required, it will make things a bit easier for her (paperwork wise) when she is older - or heaven forbid, anything were to happen to both my hubby and I and someone had to try and figure out her Ukrainian paperwork! So basically, we have to do everything that we did in order to bring Miss O home... alot of the same paperwork, back ground checks, medical exams, etc etc etc... It is a time intensive project - but hopefully we can get it done by March!
On Sunday - our way home - we stopped at our friends Shaun and Kerri's new house - which was awesome! They raise those adorable Alpacas.. and I am so hoping that the hubby will let me get one! So super cute!!!
Not much excitement - and now on to a new week!!

So glad you were able to get away for a couple days. Glad you got together with Steve. We had no idea the flooding was so bad -- is the homestead on Brown Rd doing OK? Will try and get some pics to you soon. xoxo Nana
