birthday
Bayus is FOUR!

On Tuesday our little Bayus turned 4 years old 
To celebrate we had several special little friends over for a train themed party. This year Bayus was extremely involved in the planning of his party, so much so it was all I could do keep up with him and his ideas! A special thank you to my dear friends who took pictures of the party for me (I got called away to a birth just over an hour before the party, but it was super rapid and I made it back in time for the cake and presents) and also one dear friend that took my cake decorating weaknesses under her wing and made a point of coming over late the night before to help me put together a somewhat recognizable train cake- thank you ladies!
I’d also like to thank Sonya of Sublime Threads for her awesome work on designing and making Bayus’ birthday shirt for us. If you ever want a truly special outfit with quality workMOMship then check out Sonya here
Another great link I need to make sure you have is for MrMcGroovy and his amazing cardboard building plans and kits!
Please watch the short video I made (get a cup of tea while you wait for it to download) that includes images of all the little details we put together for the party and some of the unexpected entertainment like magnifying glasses and the chickens
‘….happy birthday dear Mommy, happy birthday to you!’

Sunday marked another year ending and beginning in my life as a woman, wife, and mother Many wonderful things filled the day including purple streamers hung all over the kitchen before I woke up by my dear daughter (with a little help from daddy but it was all her idea), angel food cake with fruit from my mother so we could celebrate with the kids before we dropped them off for an all day and overnight with grandma, and then lots of fun with just me and Eddie. We had dinner out in Seattle and woke before sunrise on Monday to take some pictures I’ve had mulling around in my head for awhile. We finished out with breakfast out together at a local place called ‘The Homestead’ (which was wonderful), before Eddie headed off to work and I went and picked up the kids from grandma. It was all wonderful, a truly wonderful birthday!
Fairies, Ballets and Puppets…..

Just a few pictures to highlight some of the fun from this past week(end). Hannah went to a much anticiapted ‘fairy’ birthday party and worked long and hard on her gift. Grandma Engle suprised Hannah and took her to Pacific Northwest Ballet’s performance of ‘The Nutcracker’ in Seattle. All three kids enjoyed watching the group ‘Puppets Please’ put on a Christmas show at our local library. The activities and the advent calendars are counting down……..its almost CHRISTMAS!
The long awaited pictures from the Masquerade Ball!

This post was a long time coming….but hopefully you feel its worth it I had to collect images from 2 of my cameras and from the cameras of my little sister and 2 other friends (hence the lack of continuity in file names).
We had a magical day with all our friends, please enjoy the video by clicking below. It will take some time to download for viewing, feel free to get a cup of tea while you wait, but if you can’t possibly wait to see the video you can also click below and scroll through the images used in the video.
Thanks for looking!
Through the years with Hannah Banana!

The kids loved being in charge of the festivities this year, including baking/decorating cupcakes and enough paper chain to criss cross the kitchen about six times!
Summer Fun!
