Around These Parts (A Girls Weekend)

Seeley and I are flying solo today and possibly part of Sunday because Wes is going to the Seahawks playoff game! The man lives for football, and I have to admit it's pretty awesome that he has a professional sports team so close that he can root for! So here Seeley and I are, having a girl day. I'm doing some Saturday morning blogging since S is currently distracted by the egg she is carrying around the house. Seeley is totally weird. She has this goofy fascination with eggs. Pictures of eggs, drawings of eggs, eggs in cartoons, and now she begs to take eggs out of the refrigerator and carry them around (and lick them as she also always pretends to be a dog.) So I'm switching between looking at the computer and looking at Seeley saying, "gentle. VERY gentle". Wish me luck. Lately it's been raining and not so cold and in a weird way it's getting us out of the house more than if it was nice everyday. The second it stops raining, off we go! I hope you have a great weekend and GO HAWKS!!!

Happy Holidays from the Dickinson-Joscelyns (Part Two of Two)

Happy New Year! The first couple days of 2014 have been great over here. The weather's been great and we've been able to get out and play! On New Years day Wes had the day off and we were able to go out to eat at Hopworks Brewery while Seeley played in their kid area. I've said it before and I'll say it again; it's a genius idea to have a place for kids to play in a restaurant! We've also been soaking up the cold but sunny weather during the day. Seeley and I have been to four parks in five days (and we're off to another after I finish this post!) Being able to get outside during the day instead of being stuck in an office is one of the huge perks of being a "stay-at-home mom"! Wes and I have also made a resolution to try and stay off our smartphones during the evening. We love spending time together as a family, but the internet has a way of sucking you in! As promised, here is the last of the pictures from our Christmas trip to Missoula! I wish our family could be here to hang out with us, but we'll try to get together again soon!
