Sunny Days....

This fall has been incredible! It has been much more sunny than I remember last year being. Well the lives of Brendan and Tatem get more an more exciting each day as this new kid approaches.

Quick poll. Did any of you take a trip before your children were born? Like a last "freedom" trip? We want to do something special but don't know what to do.

Well we have finally bitten the bullet and started to get some stuff for the baby. We got our crib. It is really nice and much better than we anticipated. Because, we are probably going to be here in our townhouse for at least a few months after the baby comes we got a mini crib. It is about the same size as a portable crib but much nicer and it fits really well in our bedroom.

We have also started to research strollers, car seats, etc...... (any good tips or brands would be great). Time is really flying only 2 and 1/2 months and we will be parents.

The business is doing well and we are continuing to become better bloggers. As you can see we haven't done the best.

Fall Colors, Winter Rains........

It is amazing how fast time go's. Well our summer is gone and the fall/winter rains are returning. As crazy as this sounds I am kind of looking forward to some gray skys. Next month though I am sure I will be over it and will go into my winter depression, Just kidding (that was only my first winter here). Although the winter blues are a real thing here. The local news always has a story around this time giving advice for how to be happy during the winter. For everyones information. The cure for the winter blues is at least 20 min of daily exercise, as well as getting outside (even in cloudy weather) for a 1/2 hour.

Well I am now a Real Estate blogger. My first post was published last week on a national real estate blogging site. It didn't get as much attention as I was hoping for and it only stayed on the site for a few days. Ido feel good that I made it to the "big stage" and hope for other opportunities. Overall the business of Pillar To Post SE King County is doing well. I am really looking forward to the market rebounding. We have been really blessed to be in the #1 market in the country and have been blessed to stay busy. I would love to do more, so now I market, market, market!!!

Baby News.....................we (Brendan and the currently unnamed child) have a morning ritual where I tap on Tate's tummy and he kicks me back. Who knows if he really feels the tapping or if the noise just makes him mad. At least we are getting some quality bonding time. Tatem is also entering her 7th month. Only a few more to go. For the most part she is feeling really good. I cant tell you how nice it's been. We have decided that we are going to stay in our town house probably for another 6 months or so. It is going to be to much to look for and move into a new home, also winter is traditionally a slow time for us, so we need to leave our savings where it is for now.

Seattle is full of fun.

Well we have had a lot of fun this past weekend. On Friday Tatem and I spent the day attempting to play tour guide for Brian and Ashley VanCamp. They went on a cruise that returned to Seattle so they had most of Friday to spend site seeing before their plane left. We went to the Locks, saw the fish ladder, had lunch at the crab pot. While we were eating Tatem and Ashley turned into star struck fans when Ty Pennington happened to come into the restaurant . (They are filming an extreme home makeover house in Kirkland). They say that he is better looking in person than on T.V. We then went to Pikes place and walked and walked and walked around checking out the vendors and watching the monk fish (if you have been to Pikes place you know what I am talking about. If you haven't, well come visit us and we will take you there)



On Saturday we went to the Red Bull SoapBox Races. It was so much fun and there were a ton of people there. (the announcer was saying somthing like 50,000) The weather wasn't great it rained but what should we expect we live in Seattle........ Tatem saw her dream guy, Sir Mix Alot (he was one of the judges) so now her live is becoming more fulfilled and we took a picture by a tree.



On a baby note.... he is getting bigger and starting to kick. We still don't have a clue what to name him but that time is going to be here faster than we know it.
