What a week…

Garrett and I made a quick trip to Spokane for a baby shower hosted by our moms and my sister.  It was wonderful to see family and friends, some I haven’t for over 2 years, and to spend the day with my grandma, Francie, and cousin Tracie.

The shower was great!  Graycen is already getting spoiled and will have plenty of outfits for the multiple outfit changes I have heard newborns require J

Garrett and I were also able to spend lots of time with our amazing 4 year old nephews.  I love watching Uncle Garrett (aka “Knuckle) play with the boys.  He is a great wrestler, video game player, etc and the boys LOVE him. 

Brayden is excited for his cousin to arrive.  I don’t think he knows what a “cousin” is, exactly, but he is definitely trying to use Graycen’s arrival to his advantage.  He keeps asking my sister to buy him certain toys and candy “for his cousin.” 

It was a good thing it was just a quick trip due to the “Snowmaggedon” that had taken over western Washington.

Tuesday, Seattle Schools announced a 2 hour late arrival due to snowy conditions around the city.  I taught for an hour, had my prep period, ate lunch and then the district announced we would also have a 2 hour early release due to the increase in snow and went home early and we haven’t had to go back.  Everett WAS covered in a very, very, very thick blanket of snow (at least 6+ inches), but we're back to typical "winter" weather and the rain has melted most of the snow.   

Although, I will have to make the days up in June….when I really won’t want to be back at work…it has been nice to have some time off from work.  I have spent the week being very crafty – making cards, working on the wall art for the nursery and starting to scrapbook Graycen’s baby book.
