A Busy Summer Week!


Well, Summer in the Pacific Northwest has at long last arrived! These are summer days I live for! Sultry summer evenings, light out until nearly 10pm... lounging around with friends outdoors where it is cool. It was a busy week, but lots of fun. Dan's birthday was Wednesday, but most of the celebration was reserved for this weekend. We entertained window salesmen mostly through the week, and have settled upon an expensive window upgrade this summer. It will be nice to see how much it helps with our electric bills this winter, as well as with the outside noise.

The weekend was quite busy. A wedding Friday night, where Quin stole the show as usual (don't tell the bride! LOL). Saturday morning we woke up and went to the golf course for breakfast. It made me remember the great summers at my grandmothers, enjoying hot days at the community pool and warm evening walks on the golf course outside of her home. She is moving back down to Southern California this week, and thinking back to my childhoods, the time spent at her home in Northern California will always bring joy to my heart. I know her move will do good for both her as well as my mom, but the little 7 year old in me is sad to say goodbye "officially" to those summers from long ago.

After our breakfast and a little nap, we joined the Froelich clan for a farewell party for Beau, who goes back to Iraq next week. It was at a lake in Snohomish, and I believe all of Snohomish was there being a very hot and sunny day. we couldn't stay too long, but wanted to visit for at least a little while. Quincy was overwhelmed by the amount of people, the noise, the waves in the water and the heat...


Saturday night we had friends over to celebrate Dan's birthday. It was fun, we had a great dinner and birthday cake of course. We were able to sit outdoors and enjoy the warm evening and each other. We have such wonderful friends, and we are so lucky to leave nearby so many of them! I always look forward to our dinner party's, but our summer dinner party's are always the best of all.




And our marathon weekend continues... this morning we went to Issaquah for the car show. I am so glad that Dan and I share a love for old cars. The only problem we have is trying to agree on which old classic car we would like to have someday. We found several we liked today... and Quincy found a fun one with Kermit. A photographer from the local Issaquah paper took this same photo, so Quincy and Dan may end up with a photo in the paper. We will let you know if it happens!
Having temperatures soar into the 90's today, my dear friend Margaret offered up her pool to us to cool off in. Quin adored every second, and I can see that we may have to visit Margaret's pool more often this summer. No pics to share...yet. After a very busy and very warm weekend, Quin was quite tuckered out. This afternoon at lunch he achieved the miraculous feat of both eating and sleeping at the same time, and we captured this hilarious video of it to share. He will hate my when he is a teenager!

That video is great! You need to send it in! It's even better than the "I'm shrinking" home video. Haha. Do you remember that!?
