H&M

Cousin nickname. And since Molly seems more than a little confused as to whether her name is actually Molly or if indeed it is McGee; H&M should work no matter what:)


I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship!

Inspired

I've been on artistic fire this month. Just inspired to be outside and being creative...
Here's my latest; a set bulletin boards upstairs for the girls to display their artwork, chore lists, and pictures. What do you think?

Harbor

My parents took us on a Harbor cruise around Lake Union on Monday and it couldn't have been a nicer Seattle day. Pearson loved the boats, paddlers (surfers as she called them), and little house boats. But her favorite was the graffiti on the walls of canal by the U. Here are some fun pictures from the afternoon, thanks Mom and Dad, we had fun! oh, and I apologize for Harper's hair. It is beyond a hot mess; this is what happens when you let a 16 month old have her own banana in the back of your car...

Proteinikka 2011

Meat fest was again held at J & T's just down the street. It's quite quickly becoming one of my favorite summer traditions. I love that we can just walk right over on a summer night and eat the BEST meal 15 dollars can buy you in at least the tristate area; maybe the whole of these united states.
There were yummy dips, a pre-mixed drink cooler with wonders like the Strawberry Habanero margarita, spicy prawns, and lamb wraps. oh boy: mmmm, mmm, double mmmm.
I think Joe improves his technique every year; examples?
-The pre-mixed drinks. We may or may not have learned the vast importance of NOT progressively mixing yourself a cocktail as the night lingers on.
-Less fanfare with the plating and no utensils; which frankly you don't need when the food is that good. Lots of finger-liking goodness.
-And finally, that if you want your marsh mellow roasted to absolute perfection; Ty is your man. The roast master is patient and very careful to cultivate a slow burn of perfect golden tastiness.
Here's to next year, I'm already steeped in anticipation...

Quota Exceeded

...and planning on more too:)
