We never knew the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

Holiday Weekend at the Beach
I love long weekends and more importantly I love spending time on Vashon. Vashon is the one place I can actually relax . . . WAIT not this year because Kallie was on the GO GO GO! I don’t think I sat down until she went to bed but watching her dig in the sand, pick up crabbies with Papa, go on a boat ride and play with her cousins was priceless. I know she is going to enjoy going to the beach as much as I did when I was little and that makes me very happy!

A note to my baby girl on Mother's Day!
Kallie
Let me start by saying, I am so proud to be your mom. Becoming a mom has been the biggest accomplishment in my life. I always knew I wanted a family I just had no idea how life changing it would be until you were born.
I will never forget holding you for the very first time, it truly was love at first site. You were so tiny yet the love I felt for you was larger than words. It was from that moment on I knew that I was the luckiest mom in the world.
I can only hope to be as good of a mom to you as my mom is to me! I love you baby girl.
Love,
Mama

Happy 21 Months!
Kallie-
Today you turn 21 months old and we continue to fall more in love with you as each day goes by. I am pretty sure tell you at least ten times a day that mommy loves you and you always follow that up by saying “Daddy, Coho, Doll Doll”? I then reassure that Daddy, Coho, and Doll Doll love you too. The best party about all of that is that you say “Wuv You” back and it melts my heart each time.
One thing you like to do which your daddy says you got from me is TALK! You talk from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to bed. On our way to school you talk about birds, cars, boats, airplanes and much more. I am amazed by how many new words you seem to be learning on a daily basis. Some of your new words are: tunnel, flower, burp, on, off, inside, outside, bike and you new favorite “excuse me”. Generally you say “toot” followed by “excuse me” and a huge giggle, which makes your daddy and I crack up every time!
You also enjoy scooting around on your princess car or bike chasing Coho and going for walks to the park. You look at every flower and rock along the way so it takes quite a long time to get to the park which is 5 houses away but to be honest I think walking there is your favorite part.
One of the biggest accomplishments this month was learning how to say your name! You point to yourself and say “Kallie” which you pronounce “Ka-Yeee”, Prior to this you thought your name was Bee b/c we always call you Kallie B or just B.
I wish I could explain to you how much I love but I just can’t get it into words. What I can tell you is that your daddy and I are so proud of you and feel blessed to have you as our baby girl.
We love you!

Weekend Sunshine
We enjoyed another sunny weekend in Seattle! We took full advantage of the sunshine spending lots of time at the park, swinging in the backyard, throwing the ball for Coho, testing out our new sandbox (thanks to cousins Sophia & Ella) and Kallie even helped her dad mow the lawn!
Kallie met lots of kiddos at the park on Sunday. Most of the kids there were bigger than her but she had no idea . . . she would chase them around yelling “Hi” & “Tunnel” over and over and over again (HA)!
On Sunday we went to Tacoma to have some family photos done by my dear friend Bradie. Stay tuned for pictures!

Daddy Time!
Kallie spent quality time with her daddy last weekend while I went to AZ with girlfriends for some “mommy” time. Of course I called and texted a million times b/c I missed my baby girl (and my hubby of course). Luckily I received lots of texts and videos while I was away. It sounds like Kallie and daddy had a packed weekend shopping, throwing the ball for Coho, swimming lessons and they even went on a double date with Coop and Martin.
Here is my favorite picture Eric sent me while I was away. The caption read - Hiding from the law!
