Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, we met up with my parents, and drove to Mt. Vernon. We had lunch with my brother and his family. It was such a fun time talking and laughing. And man, isn't our newphew the cutest?!

P: Yeah.
L: And would I probably get a new outfit for it?
P: Sure.
L: And a new purse? Some of the moms have their purses on the table.

Girl Weekend

4 of my best girlfriends from college came up to Seattle for a girl's weekend. We hadn't all been together since our wedding in '05, so we had much to talk about. It was so good to all be together again!

Speaking of babies...

The Petersons are expecting! :)

Here is Baby Peterson at 7 weeks at our first ultrasound. We got to hear the heartbeat which was awesome. I'm 12 weeks now, and our little one's due date is October 12th.

We couldn't be more excited...

So good that I had to share...
