Back from Seattle

[theatokos]

What a great trip.

I love Seattle: the geography, the climate, the neighborhoods, the COFFEE. I can't believe I've spent nearly 6 years in the Bay Area. Seattle goes back high on the list of places to move to after Wales. Especially now that I have many friends that live there, and friends with kids who seem to have similar parenting styles as Adam and me.

The trip wasn't exciting so much as just really really nice. Highlights include hanging out with Twig and her husband, being surrounded by green and trees, watching Bennett be so freaking happy and sweet with everyone he met, and meeting LJ mama friends in the flesh!

imp_of_satan and I met up on Friday, which also happened to be my birthday. She bought me lunch at a Tibetan/Nepalese place on Capitol Hill. Our babies played some and we walked to coffee afterwards. Ms Imp is gorgeous. She posts a lot of pictures of herself, but they don't hold a candle to her in the flesh. The next day livingdeadpan and miss_swamp came over with their twins. That was tons of fun, because the boys got to play for a couple hours.

I think Bennett might actually be getting big for his age. He is taller than a 14 month old we met (whose parents are both 6 feet tall) and I think he weighs 26 pounds. When did my preemie become such a big guy? He's also taken to saying to hi to every one and giving kisses. My goodness, I adore I my babe!

I am exhausted tonight. Adam made dinner and put B down for the night. I think I may go through myself in bed here soon.
