Esmee and Daddy!

enjoying their east coast visit!

Millie Mommy Time!

So... Jaimeson booked a flight to Rhode Island last week, to surprise his Grandma Joy, who is turning 90...wooohooo!!!!! And....he took Esmee with him!!! I just got word that they arrived safely and were a HUGE SURPRISE to his mom, Ashley and Grandma Joy! Cliff was in on it and helped orchestrate. So cool! So, while Jaimeson and Esmee are enjoying special time together, Millie and I get 5 days to PARTY, just the two of us!! We kicked the long weekend off with shopping, playing, playing and playing....and a few treats tucked in! I know Esmee and Jaim are having just as much fun as we are on the opposite coast!!!

Mommy and Esmee!

Moving on up....

Winter Wonderland!

We're in for a cold and snowy winter, if this last storm was any indication! It started dumping snow on Monday and didn't stop until Thanksgiving morning. It's beautiful and a GREAT way to kick off the holiday season...especially for Seattle....this is RARE!

Market time.

Sean and Paddy!

Millie and Esmee's GREAT Uncles, Michael and Jeffrey, sent these adorable little laddies all the way from Ireland.....and you can tell by the look on Millie's face, what a HUGE hit they are. M and J found these "homeless" bears not in the best shape, on their recent trip to the Emerald Isle and shipped them to the good ole' US of A, knowing they would be WELL LOVED and taken care of in the hands of Millie and Esmee!!! And so you guys know....they are WELL fed, and get tucked in every night!!!!! Thank you :)!! xo
