We made it! We are here in the Pacific Northwest and so far we LOVE it! It is so beautiful here. We are living in the Issaquah Highlands about 15 miles east of Seattle. We have the mountains to our East and Lake Sammamish to the west and GREEN everywhere else. There is soooo much to do here, especially lots of great activities for kids. I have already hit up 5 different Farmer's Markets, they are everywhere, everday of the week, all year long! The best part about living here is that we are surrounded by small towns with farms and a country feel yet we have this huge city that is so diverse just minutes away. There are parks and trails all over and this time of year the weather is perfect. So if you haven't bought your ticket yet, i don't know what you're waiting for! This summer i hope to explore Puget Sound, Victoria and the Olympic coast.
It has been the craziest few months of my life. Having a baby, selling a home, packing...and moving....unpacking, more unpacking...still unpacking!!! All the while nursing, seriously every half hour! It's pretty hard to get much done with two kids i have found. Man, i thought one was tough:) Our little Max turns six weeks old tomorrow, WHAT? My little newborn is no longer a newborn! He is getting so big, really starting to fill out...all that nursing is paying off:) And sadly i have taken about 5 pictures of him in the last six weeks...what kind of mother am i? What will i do without my sister Molly to take pictures for me. So sad:( 
Our first fourth of July was a good one. We drove out to a quaint little town called Carnation. There was a festival and kids parade that hazel participated in and loved. Best strawberry shortcake! All kinds of crazies live in that town. We then headed over to Remlinger Farms for some lunch and berry-picking. Raspberries here are soooo delish! Checked out Snoqualmie falls. Very scenic, huge waterfalls. We finished the day with a fireworks show on Lake Sammamish.

Kate, I can't believe your beautiful new home state. Your house looks amazing! What a fun and exciting place to live. Adrienne and I can't wait to come for a visit. You have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time, you should be proud of yourself. We think of your family all the time. Best wishes. Love, Jayne
Hooray Kate!! So glad to see an update. My "surrender your love" song must have given you inspiration. I will keep those songs coming. I'm so happy you guys are in such a fun city. Can't wait to come visit. Matt wants to come and go to a soccer game. Let's get something planned :)
