My Husband

This weekend Wes and I decided to have a little valentine's date without the little one. Seeley got to play with her great uncle John and aunt Shanti (those three are great together ;)) while Wes and I got to spend some quality time together! It's easy to put romance on the back burner when you have work, kids, bills, chores, etc. to worry about. Not to mention when you've been with someone over eight years. But it is important to always work on your relationship, and Wes and I were way overdue for a date. I must say, Wes is such a sweet, handsome and loving guy. He told me how pretty I looked every five minutes, he had his arm around me all night, and we laughed like we did when we first started dating. He definitely has my heart.

Around These Parts

Happy February! Seeley and I were stuck inside all of last week with colds, and let me tell you, it was the longest week EVER! It wasn't so bad when S was sick because I could just give her lots of cuddles and let her take it easy. The hard part came when Seeley got better and I became sick! All I wanted to do was climb into bed but Seeley wanted to jump and climb and play and do everything right now! On Thursday the cabin fever was getting to me so we went to our favorite community center to get some energy out. Seeley and I love that place. So, now we're finally better and ready to find something to do in this cold weather. Is it spring yet?

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!
