Good news...

So, we have been pretty busy trying to find a permanent home for us, so we haven't been able to do much exploring, which is why I haven't updated the blog for a little while.  :)  Anyway, the good news...we found a place!  It's a really cute house in a neighborhood of Seattle called Wallingford.  It's about a five minute drive to downtown Seattle.  We had a really hard time trying to decide if we wanted to stay in an apartment right downtown or try and find a house.  After looking and talking, we decided that we really wanted some sort of yard for Vega.  It hasn't been so hard to take her out while staying in this apartment, but we figured if we could find something with a fenced yard, we would take it.  Also, our other problem was trying to find a place to fit all of our things.  We got rid of a lot of things before we moved, but we still have a lot of crap!  This house has all the room that we should need.  It's still smaller than we are use to, but it will still work perfectly.  We can't move in until March 31, but that is one less stress.  Now on the weekends we can go and explore.

A few weekends ago, we went to this area in Seattle called Green Lake.  There is a path around the lake that is a little over three miles around.  We took the dog and got a few pictures.

Green Lake.  I know, it's weird that it was raining.  :)

Vega had to check out the water.  She wanted to go swim after the ducks, but she wasn't allowed.

Vega and I out on one of the many docks they had at the lake.

Squirrel!

These are just some of the trees that surround the lake. 

It was a very fun day, and we had to squeeze that walk in between our house hunting.   Because of the house hunting we haven't done too much of anything else.  Hopefully that will change and we can go see some cool stuff this weekend.  :)  


This was just a really cool picture from our apartment window.  

This is Cody being artistic.  I love this picture!

And finally, a big thank you to Jami, my sister-in-law, for getting this toy for Vega before we moved.  She has loved it and it has been good for her to have a toy, because they packed up all her toys in the move.  Thanks, Jami!!

There are so many parks around here that we really want to go check out, so my next post hopefully won't take as long.  :)

  2. Yay for finding a place! Sounds like it will be perfect for you. I can't wait until I can come visit. You are so welcome for Vega's wubba. I would have bought her more! Love you and miss you!
    P.S. Anna fully appreciates the picture of the squirrel. She is loving the movie UP right now. ;-)
