Catching Up: July 2010

July: Airshows, Bike Rides and a couple Sunny Days with Maji and Olivia....
Well, right on time, Seattle received it's first 'summer' day AFTER the 4th of July weekend.  We finally broke out the baby pool in the back yard and soaked in some sunshine.  Luca and Andrew spent the day at the super cool airshow at the airforce base and got to see lots of planes and guys parachuting!  Needless to say, Luca still talks abou this day.  Megan had to work her last few days and events on the weekends for Rugby WA so the month went by quick with not too much to report until the final days of the month....keep reading below......

Maji and Auntie Livia Visit!!!: We had 2 great overlapping weeks of visits with Maji and Olivia.  This was Luca's FIRST ever 1 on 1 time with his Mama's Mama! (Without sharing her with his other two beautiful cousins).  We had a great time at the beach, at the zoo and more.  Then Livi came and we returned to the zoo and of course, Golden Gardens!

Catching Up: May/June 2010

Well, it has been too long again...but thanks to Steph Dooley, I'm inspired to update this site. Sorry, I'm suffering from an identity crisis so I've renamed the BLOG AGAIN! We had a pretty sad summer in terms of weather, so the Red Blanket Adventures did not make it very far this summer...so, we'll return to basics and just update this blog about all things "HOOKS" so...here is what we did in May/June

May: Megan ran the Vancouver 1/2 Marathon for the second time with Team in Training. Luca and Andrew came up to cheer her on and Yaya 'aka Andrew's mom' came over from Victoria to spend the day with the 'boys.'

Ahhh...all done 13.1 miles...AGAIN

Late May: Luca's Last Days of School
Luca had a great first year of 'school' / co-op with Mommy. We had a great time and Luca grew so much. Here is a pic of him walking up the big hill to the classroom looking cool. It made me realized how fast things happen when you're one. The first day of school in September 09 he couldn't even walk yet! And here he is, with a swagger!

June: As we've already blogged about, here is another picture below from our trip to a super fun farm in Issaquah.  This time we ventured with our Friend Madeline who has since moved across the country to Baltimore, MD!  We miss her so much!

June: Finally, we returned to Las Vegas to visit Megan's family.  We haven't seen them in 6 months - a record!  We had a great time filled with swimming, staying cool, a belated 30th Birthday Party, Luca had his first marygoround ride and lots and lots of cousin bonding!

Down on the Farm


Today we opened our "Big Red Blanket Season" when we ventured east to Issaquah, WA to visit Fox Hollow Farm.

We met up with our friends from Co-Op preschool, PEPS and our friends Corin, Misha and Ivan. We saw so many animals including a baby pony. Now, ponies are tiny, but baby ponies are just itty bitty! We ate lunch out in the sunshine with our friends on our blanket. Drinks, peas and broccoli was spilled, but the blanket can take it. This is going to be a great season....
