Lighthouse at Discovery Park |
Our life lately has been very busy. I have just wrapped up school for the summer and had lots to organize in my classroom. I have also been working on my first set of classes for my master's and I am getting acquainted with getting back in to the groove of writing papers and completing research and assignments again. It hasn't been too hard so far...my lowest grade is a 98!! Steve has also been busy with work and testing with several fire departments. We have been out to Maple Valley many times to visit family, and go to the farmer's market that we love. We got our first chance to "babysit" an infant! We babysat Steve's niece Malia...who is so darn cute...and we had to change our first dirty diapers!! It wasn't as bad as we were expecting it to be! We have gone on several hikes to Discovery Park and around Alki Beach. We also have had many friends over for dinner and relaxed after a hard day's work with a nice glass of wine or beer. To kick off my first day of summer we went to the Woodland Park Zoo yesterday and saw all of the animals. It was soo cool! Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks!
