Carolin's Bon Voyage Party

Last night was Carolin's going away party. She's leaving for Maryland on Monday and I am so sad to see her go. We had such a blast at work, and I don't know what I'm going to do without my lunchtime shopping, celebrity gossiping, weekend story sharing, office chatting friend. We'll definitely be keeping in touch - Good luck Carolin!

We partied at Wenarto's until the wee hours of the morning drinking wine (lots of red wine, as you can see from our lips), eating amazing food (courtesy of wenarto), and making youtube videos. We made 10 videos!

Miguel and Celia stopped in for a while - Miguel graced us with an amazing opera song.




The salad was really hot!

Carolin and I came up with AMAZING choreography for one of Wenarto's videos ... seriously, it was inspired - lol!

Our youtube debut!!!

Easter Weekend

This Easter was reminiscent of earlier times ... all the cousins were back together again! It's become so difficult to get us all in the same place at once - with Ashley in LA, Lori in Palm Springs, Lisa in Ellensburg - this weekend was really a treat.

Saturday morning, mom, Ashley and I went walking around Chambers Bay Golf Course. It was the first time I had been on the full walk - it's so beautiful down there. Mom showed off her walking skills ... we couldn't keep up with her!

On Saturday night, I had the girls over to the house. We played games and I serenaded everyone with my newly learned piano playing "skills" - Lori even danced to my playing (there IS a video of that - if I can get a hold of it I will post it)....
Easter morning we went to church at St. Theresa's and then to Linda's for breakfast. It was Linda's first holiday in the new house. It's such a nice house and way better for getting us all together. There's so much space! Plus, they're minutes away from my parents now.

We got Easter baskets .... complete with eggs full of silly putty! :)
It rained buckets on Easter ... literally, one step outside and you were drenched. After spending the morning with the Overbo's we braved the weather and drove down to Kelso to spend the evening with the Christians and the Hansens. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera, so we don't have any pictures, but we had a wonderful time.

Weekend with the Sainsburys

We had such a fun weekend when the Sainsburys came to town! They are officially the first guests to stay over in our house, and we hope they will come again soon. Here are some pictures of our trip to the Woodland Park Zoo...

Visiting the New Office

Renovations to the new office have been slowly progressing since September 2007. Stephen has been working so hard ... coordinating everything with the designers, contractors, dental supply company, subcontractors ... plus working as a full-time dentist! He deserves a vacation! We visited the new office recently and it looks amazing. It's set to open within the next two weeks - we are so excited!

Valentine's Day Cupcakes

Angela came over the night before Valentine's Day and we made a TON of cupcakes for our offices. We had so many ... and they were delicious!
