Granny & Grandad come to visit...

Granny and Grandad arrived and the fun has begun!  

We have started our adventures... first stop Bainbridge Island!

We got up really early and went to the hospital for a check-up and blood test and then the weather was so nice that we changed our plans, hopped on a ferry and headed across the water to Bainbridge Island for a walk and some yummy ice-cream!

The ferry was a little windy, but the sky was blue and the sun was shining!

Kayle had fun on the ferry ride... this is the first ride that she remembers!  She loved looking out the window trying to spot a Whale!

Grandad just enjoyed sitting in the warm sunshine!

We took a lovely walk down the main avenue looking in the shops, checking out the flowers... oh, and trying to find ice-cream!

... which we found!  We found a great place and got some seriously good treats.  

Grandad and I got amazing milk-shakes made with the best ice-cream and Granny and Kayle just got big helpings of ice-cream! 

On the ferry ride home, Kayle was getting tired so needed a little entertaining.

Needless to say that as soon as we got in the car, she was out for the count!  

 We all had a really nice day out in the sun!

Matching Masks

Kayle and I had some fun at the hospital the other day... sickness has been going around all our friends, and it eventually hit our house.  It came in the form of a pretty good cold, cough, and double ear infection for our sweet Kayle, then despite all our efforts, I got it.  I managed to tackle the cold and cough and still have my chemotherapy, thank goodness!

When Kayle and I went to the hospital for a check-up to see how I was doing, we had to wear our special masks to protect the other patients, but we had fun!

Seriously... more snow!!!!

You would never guess that it is almost Spring... we have had some seriously crazy weather here! Last week, we had sunshine and blue skies and then we had rain and flooding, and then we had snow! The photos below were taken on different days, a week apart... as soon as one storm hits and the snow melts, we get more!

I am really hoping that we are done and that we are going to get some sunshine... especially since Mum and Dad arrive in 10 days!

New Headbands

Kayle and I got some nice new headbands from Auntie Kathy, Auntie Pauline and Granny.

The ones we got from Auntie Pauline and Auntie Kathy were wonderful hand-made ones and best of all, they were matching! Kayle and I have matching headbands!

Here is Kayle modeling her headband from Auntie Kathy! I'll get some photos of us sporting our matching ones and post them later!

Thank you Auntie Kathy and Auntie Pauline for our lovely headbands!

Helping Daddy

Our tumble dryer broke a few weeks ago... we found out what we needed to fix and headed to the shop... Jason needed some help finding the right part... Kaye actually found it for him and was so happy she could help!

Lots of fun times with our friends

Since I have been having chemo and spending lots of time at the hospital, Kayle has been having lots of fun with her friends... she gets to go to her friends houses and they get to come over and play a lot at the moment!

Kayle got to hang out with Toby, our 'boss'... Toby made a quick trip to Target (our fave shop!) and treated Kayle to a beautiful Princess Dora dress and a horse toy... then when they got home they had a 'spa day'. Kayle got to have her finger nails painted and then once she was done, she wanted to paint Toby's finger nails!

Kayle did a great job... she may have a future in the nail salon market!!

Kayle got to pop out to Target (our fave shop) for a shopping trip!

Kayle had her friends over last weekend... Kayle and Melody disappeared... Look where we found them!!

Under the table... hiding... so they could suck their dummies (pacifiers!)

Fun Times at work

Before Kayle and I stopped working as Nanny to a wonderful family in Renton, we got a few photos of Kayle having fun 'helping Mummy with the laundry'. Now, Kayle's idea of 'helping' is... um.... well, just look at the photos and see!

Kayle took a break from helping with the laundry...

We officially stopped working the week before I started my chemo and we REALLY miss our work family.
