The Pacific Northwest

rich has the month of august off and we decided to head out west! --3 years down, only ONE MORE to go!!!

first stop: seattle. we stayed with grandma and grandpa wirrick and were able to see aunts, uncles and cousins. it was so nice to visit with them and be back in washington.

maza and her great grandma!


my favorite day was probably when we went out to auntie and uncles house to help auntie celebrate her 80th birthday. we decided that it had been 9 YEARS since we had seen each other. way too long!! i have such great memories of auntie's house, it was fun to be back. and of course, maza was a hit wherever she went.





rich, maza and i with auntie and uncle.


next stop: portland (salem). we drove down from seattle to visit rich's brother john and his family. we had a great time with them! we loved playing tennis and eating delicious food. they have a beautiful home and it was fun to check out the area.

hannah and josh were so good to maza. hannah was such a good helper and loved to feed maza, change her diaper, pick out her clothes and sing to her.






while we were in oregon maza turned 2 months old!! a few things about 2 month old maza:
--We had a doctors appointment right before we left and she is over 10 pounds!! She is a great eater now.
--She has learned how to smile and we cannot get enough of it.
--She sleeps a stretch of 5-7 hours at night and then will go back to sleep for another 3 more or less.
--She loves to be held facing out--she wants to be looking at everyone and see what's going on
--She still has rockstar hair and gets compliments on her hair all the time.

we love our sweet girl!!

  1. She's so gorgeous, you guys! Not that we're surprised or anything... We hope we get to meet her sometime too! PS: Brittany, you are way too skinny to have just been preggo 2 months ago! :-p (This is Catherine; it just won't let me post from my Google account for some reason.)
