Hola blog! This is the little geisha painting I have been working on for aaaaages, because…I’m not really into it. I should start another little painting, maybe? Or just force myself to finish this one.

Hey look it’s the ONE tulip that bloomed this year in the front yard, out of the entire row that Joshy planted. Heigh ho. At least it’s pretty!

Josh brought home some “Seattle Pops”–gourmet Popsicles–for me to sample. Mexican Chocolate–gross, coffee–meh, but this strawberry one was okay. No match for the generic Big Sticks though.

These beautiful orange lilies appeared in the backyard recently.

As well as lots of forget-me-nots. They are a much brighter blue in real life.

Mr. Baby, meeting another baby 12 days older than him. Mr. Baby slept in his OWN ROOM for the first time last night! He’s still in the rock and play…I don’t plan on moving him out of that until he outgrows it.

Last week I took the dogs and baby to our old stomping grounds, the big dog park, where I walked a mile nearly every day when I was pregnant (except towards the GIANT end).

Lots of tree roots made for a bumpy ride, but Mr. Baby slept through it all just fine.

Always finding hearts in nature.

Here’s the beautiful fern in our backyard. Maggie trampled it down the first year we lived here, but it grows back each spring.

My neighbor’s gorgeous giant red poppies. I wonder if my pink ones will grow this year?

The weather has finally been warm  lately. We just went for a family walk, mostly to get the baby to fall asleep.

Hooray for sunshine! It’s been in the upper 70’s the last couple of days, perrrrfect.

Me at 4 months vs. Mr. Baby at 4 months. He’s such a little chunk!

I’m doing this stuff, but the flab hasn’t budged. I know what I have to do…give up all carbs and sugars. DAMMIT.

My stinkin’ husband left me and the baby alone for 14 BLOODY HOURS to go skiing last weekend…but at least he took a sexy selfie.

IG has no shortage of inspiring eyeshadow looks.

Look who came for a visit on Wednesday! My brother and his wife.

Thursday we went to Marymoor Park. Friday Stew woke up with a brutal migraine and had to lay in bed for several hours…he didn’t feel well until late afternoon. Poor little guy.

Primroses galore at Marymoor Park.

Me and my “little” six foot six inch brother.

Maggie and Schnubs got their swim in.

We didn’t lose any dogs, either!

Stephanie took this shot.

I spotted this beautiful rose outside my work on Friday.

Friday afternoon after my brother was feeling better we drove to the Mukilteo lighthouse. We strolled around, gawked at a massive man sunbathing (and burning), and munched on ice cream cones.

Stephanie made dinner for us Friday night and topped it off with homemade chocolate chip cookies. I forced them to take the rest of the cookies with them when they left Saturday morning…I cannot be trusted with so many cookies. I ate 5 on Friday night alone. Total weight gain for my brother’s visit: 2 pounds. 🙁

Beautiful Impressionistic painting spotted on IG.

This morning I randomly discovered that some kind soul had uploaded the latest full episode of Drag Race on Youtube! FINALLY! Now I need to go back and see if they have uploaded others. Yay! Catch yer later, bloggeroonies.
