First visit to Pike Place Market


First visit to Pike Place Market
Originally uploaded by binmke.
We spent the first part of the morning at Pike Place Market today. We had a yummy breakfast in a place with a view of the Sound, then went up and down the market looking at all the things for sale. We bought big shrimp and scallops for our New Years Eve dinner!

We made it!

We have all arrived safe and sound in Seattle. Nora did a great job in the plane and provided lots of entertainment for the other passengers.

Yesterday was Nora's first day at her new daycare. The room is easily 3 times as big as the one she had at the daycare in Milwaukee. We came in and watched her for the first 10 minutes, to make sure she would make the adjustment to the new place. In no time, she was running around with the other kids, playing with the toys, and stopping to listen to one of the teachers read a book.

She ended up taking a 2-hour nap, and last night she slept from 7 PM to 5 AM without getting up once. This is the first time she has slept all the way through the night in over a week.

Grandpa also got to try out his new webcam with us and watched Nora eat dinner. Nora thought it was pretty neat to see Grandma and Grandpa on the screen in front of her, and even offered them bites of her hot dog.

Today we're going downtown to Pike Place Market and the Seattle Children's Museum...photos will be posted soon!

What is going on?

Mommy and Daddy have been running around like crazy people for the past couple of days. Today they woke me up at 5 am to take Auntie Pea to the airport and then Mommy got a funny looking rental car at the airport because her car is being put on a truck for a long ride. I get to go play with Nana and Papa while all our stuff is put in boxes. I sure hope they don't forget any of my books and toys. I wouldn't be happy about that.

Mommy also told me that we get to ride in first class on Thursday, what ever that means. All I know is that Daddy has to sit back in the 'cheap' seats during our flight.

I'll let you know when we've arrive in our new house!

New Job

Nora's new favorite job is helping unload the dishwasher. She hasn't quite figured out when the dishes are clean or dirty, but we're working on that. Posted by Picasa

Let me help Mommy!

Kisses

Nora is still sick, but she graciously gave Baby Jesus a kiss to make him feel better. She had a slight temperature this morning and still had a horrible sounding cough. We call her the Motrin baby. Posted by Picasa

Nativity Set

This is the nativity set that I got for our wedding! Finally someone can enjoy playing with it ;-) Posted by Picasa
