Our Anniversary, An End of the Endless quarter, Father's Day & Steve's Birthday


June has been a big month. We kicked it off with our 1 year anniversary on Monday, June 1st. It was a quiet evening at home, but we enjoyed an entire Netflick while baby slept. Afraid it may have been Don't Mess with the Zohan, but we did get a few laughs. Unlike the following flick, Benjamin Button which devolved into a total cryfest for B who can not watch a sad movie about a baby at all since being pregnant, even saddness alluding to babydom sends her into a box of Kleenex.

S finally completed the longest quarter ever. It was so dramatic with an entire class group project, aka. 297, and an intense Unreal (game dev engine for you noobs) seminar, 112. Only 10 days of break and he'll be back at it, which at this point means this coming Monday. But luckily it's his final class in this program before graduating! Woo-hoo!

Father's day was punctuated by brunch at Enotria. A's first Italian restaurant, and she was a banner baby. She enjoyed the live jazz and the mirrored wall. We thought the food was average, but it was quiet and the ambiance was nice. To celebrate her own foodie skills, A, enjoyed acorn squash for the first time.

Finally, Wednesday, 6/24 was S's final birthday in the 20s, which was the occasion for A & B's first outing to Trophy UVillage. There they bought 6 of 10 flavors, and were joined by The Johnsons, Mrs. Duncan Korst and Ms. Balk of Spinasse for appetizers and cupcakes that evening at the condo. Yippee! A enjoyed green beans for the first time on her Daddy's birthday.

S & B were later the next day declared ill and grumpy with headaches and B with the awful bout of nausea plus the unpleasant ending of nausea. A is still trying to decide if she wants to sleep less or more. It's always a tough call in life. To sleep or to get up... and as always, summer in Seattle slips by like a New York minute.

Tomorrow, off to the U District to pick up some peas for A's next cuisine in the key of green adventure, and Grandma C is planning on watching A so that S & B can enjoy Transformers 2. Their first movie out since Grandma S babysat for Coraline.
