West shares my love of Puff the Magic Dragon
and I couldn't be happier about that!
Unfortunately, he also shares my short attention span...

Play us a song!

West is a true music lover and he decided
to tickle the ivories a bit while we were at Scott's house.
Please watch and enjoy the musical stylings of Mr. W. C. Calkins!

Bring on the busy!

Time for a quick mid-Spring update!

We celebrated a nice Easter holiday with Westley enjoying a basket full of Curious George goodies and more, followed by a lovely lunch with Grandma and Grandpa (Christian's folks). My naturally dyed eggs (using blueberries!) turned out beautifully, and were especially delicious once we turned them into deviled eggs!


On rare days off, we've even spent a little time at the rocky beach in Mukilteo and it was perfect weather for hunting sea glass and digging for "potatoes " (it's what West was naming rounded rocks he found!). As the summer months approach we are looking forward to lots of upcoming activities including a big birthday for my best girl Caryn, parties with friends, lots of play dates, and my trip to see Kristan, my oldest treasured friend, for her baby shower and some much needed catching up. While it will be incredibly difficult to be away from West and Christian for 4 days, but I'd be lying if I said the break won't be a welcome one!

In the grown up world, Christian is doing fine at Apple and is in the process of meeting with various potential clients for side-work opportunities in more creative design environments.
As for me, on May 29th I will be catering a private dinner show
(Run for your wife with the Camwood Players in Stanwood, starring Scott Randall as Bobby!).
It's an exciting opportunity for my company, Modestly Merry Events, and there is great potential for a long-term relationship with the group. Realistically my company's main focus will remain on the event-planning side, but I'm not one to turn down a job! I am also part of new production company being founded with an amazing group of friends. (There is much more to come on that in the near future!)

In Westley world, when we aren't enjoying play time at the park with friends or watching as West tries to give
"smoochies kiss kiss" (see picture below for the ultimate in precious...) to all his little girlfriends, he's very into game shows and can name the hosts of Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right. He also likes to play host and make announcements like "It's a brand new car!" and "Five thousand dollars!" at the most random times. He can also (not surprisingly) name most of the Food Network hosts and their shows...That's my baby! Not to worry, though. It's not 24/7 TV time in our home. Music time, coloring, learning more shapes, colors and numbers are also favorite things and we always read lots of books every day. He's nearly memorized his favorite, On the day you were born, and can tell the entire story in his own words. It's brilliant! Dancing is popular as ever around here and he loves Jason Mraz music as much as I do, and even knows some of the lyrics to sing along. Favorite edibles are currently berry smoothies, waffles with PB and honey, and any kind of sandwich just like daddy. And finally, drum-roll please....we are in full potty-training mode!!!

Do you have a special event around the corner?

After years of friends and family encouraging me to turn my talents of organization and planning, etc., into a business venture, I have taken their advice. My website is up and running!

Please take a look and remember Modestly Merry Events for your next Bar Mitzvah or Flag day celebration!

No rest for the wicked.

Most of my friends and family are now aware that I will not be attending EvCC this quarter due to circumstances that I am not able to change at the present time. I have decided to go forward with my learning though, by completing the reading list from the British Lit class (Chaucer, Beowulf, Shakespeare, etc.) as well as teaching myself more about Word, Excel and Power Point. Hopefully by the fall, I will have the funds to finance the required credits to fall back into good standing at the college and can move on toward my degree. This is not the end of my college education, and whether it takes 2 years or 5, or more, I will be a college grad.

In the meantime, I'll be focusing on finishing all the projects that have been going undone, promoting my planning business and most importantly having lots of fun doing my most important work; being a mother.
I would like to find part-time work outside the house to get some semi-steady "extra" income coming in, but it will be challenging with the uncertainty of Christian's weekly schedule.

It's all in the waiting and seeing...

Here comes the sun!

We finally got to venture out to Legion Park today and spend some time outside in the sun! It was a nice day, a little windy and we had a great time meeting up with Davi and the kids. Here are a couple of photos from the park, Westley's Wheel of Fortune (the merry-go-round), Super Lizzy, and a roaring good time!

Yesterday when the weather was still gloom and doom galore, we spent time reading and playing games all day. Westley has a new favorite book now! His favorite reading material is the internationally acclaimed, beloved by millions Dr. Suess' There's a Wocket in my Pocket!".
Who could blame him? It's a fascinating tale of zowers in the showers, ninks in the sinks and one very rude noothgrush on my toothbrush...a great read at any age.

Busy, Busy!

Wow! It's been a while since time has allowed an update so let's catch up. Ready???
Here we go...

We had a great Thanksgiving at my Uncle Jim's home with nearly the entire family! My parents, niece, nephew, came up from Eureka and we were joined by my in-laws and our wonderful friend, Sam, for the holiday fun. Sam is the one in the pictures who looks nothing like the rest of us, but fits right in anyway! After giving much thanks for all we are fortunate enough to have, we enjoyed a wonderful meal and lots of great music and conversation, of course!

Christmas was fun, but marred with a bit of illness which kept things interesting. Still, we had a wonderful time with Kaijsa here for a visit from Wyoming and lots of time with Christian's side of the family. Christmas even was spent with Christian's family at Grandma Virginia's home in Shoreline. It was a great evening and everyone had a fantastic time playing games, eating well and catching up. Unfortunately, Grandma was ill on Christmas morning, but we moved the festivities and gift bonanza to her house so she wasn't alone on Christmas, she was well taken care of, and able to enjoy all of us being together. After a big, yummy breakfast and opening all of our generous treasures, we headed home and had a nice quiet dinner with Sam. Steak and potatoes really hit the spot for Christmas dinner! For New year's Eve, I went over and hung out with Scott and a couple of friends, played games and relaxed. Christian stayed home with West and went to be early since it was off to work early the next morning, as usual.










Next on the agenda was Scott's Birthday! Everyone got together at a fabulous Family Friendly Restaurant called the Trumpeter Public House, in Mount Vernon. The food was wonderful, it has a great atmosphere for any and all to enjoy, and they were very accommodating with our large group. For the birthday boy, be bestowed upon him many bags of marshmallows, some other goodies, and a Freshly baked Hazelnut Cake with Nutella cream-cheese icing. Everyone had a really fun evening and West and Lizzie had a little dance time, in between all the hugs West was sharing.

After a short break between parties and holidays, it was time for Westley's Birthday Party! This year, we went with a 50's dance theme since he still loves shaking that booty! On the menu was Homemade Mac and 5 cheeses, lots of veggies, Turkey Burgers and a few other little munchies here and there with a variety of cupcakes for dessert. Everyone had a great time and it was a really fun way to celebrate our amazing, brilliant growing boy and all his hilarity.

Just one day before the big party it was time for the first haircut. We went to a delightful place in Bellevue called City Folks Kids. He got to sit in a firetruck chair and enjoy a balloon while his beautiful golden locks were cut away, and in the end he looked like such a little man! I was so sad to see his curls gone, but the poor kid couldn't see so it was definitely time for a cut. He behaved like a champ and impressed everyone in the shop being so mellow while getting his cut.

While all this was going on over the winter months I was in the process of attempting to keep up with Winter quarter (Attempt failed, but will make it all up...) while I was serving as Assistant Director and Assistant Stage Manager for "Once upon a Mattress" with the Northwest Savoyards. Sam directed the show, as well as designed the sets, choreographed the dance sequences and did an outstanding job with every aspect of the show. As for me, I was backstage along side the great crew every night, and even made a few appearances on stage in my "Brünhilda" costume! (My stage name came courtesy of my friend, our lovely Princess Winnifred, EmilyRose Shotwell.)

This was a new experience for me, being an AD, and I think I did really well with it. Sam and I worked together really well and all our late nights at the theatre gave us a chance to develope an even closer friendship which I cherish so very much.

Now that the show has wrapped and we are all moving on to new things, I miss people and being in the theatre, but it's time to focus on family and school once again. Also must say that all the while when I was gone until 2a.m. working on the show (stuccoing walls, sewing tents, painting, helping with fittings, shopping for props and costumes, etc...) Christian was home with West being the best husband ever. He was so supportive, as always, and I am so thankful for all he did, and all he does to take such wonderful care of West and I every day.

A few other things: - West's 2 year stats: 40 and 3/8" Tall, 34.5 lbs.,
healthy and happy, bright as can be. He's full of chatter, and the dickens, and never fails to make us laugh with a grumpy face, or his silly games. He can count to 20, name a lot of shapes, colors, letters and animals. He's very into coloring right now, and is great with a soccer ball. We are so proud of and full of joy to have such an amazing little person in our lives. Even when he starts to be terribly two, or scream at the top of his lungs in a restaurant or shop only to be hastily removed by one of us so as not to disturb other patrons,
we can't help but laugh...most of the time!
- Christian's still training clients at apple, always working on his website and on the hunt for a non-retail job, but we are so lucky we have any income at all right now with the economic crisis.
- Spring Quarter starts soon! Computer literacy, Economics and Survey of British Lit!
- Ordered business cards and registered a Domain Name for my event planning business;
Modestly Merry Events Orchestration and Design. Yay!
- Am taking an Acting Class from Scott Randall!
- We're trying to plan a trip down to CA this summer but all depends on $$$!

Well, West is avoiding a nap as usual, so I must away to settle my super-toddler! Enjoy the new slideshow to the right and be on the lookout for many more frequent updates to come.

We sing...

Yesterday, I was given free tickets to a Jason Mraz concert from Starlight Washington for some past volunteering . I called Christian, he called the grandparents and they graciously agreed to watch West so we could go to the show and it was amazing. West was happy about that and they had lots of fun together. As for the show, the opening act was an amazing Irish artist called Lisa Hannigan. She has a beautiful voice and a really fun Bjork+Tori Amos+Jenny Lewis vibe. She did a duet with Jason called "lucky" and it is the sweetest song ever.

Jason was, of course, incredible. He played a lot of earlier tunes and some new as well, and even threw in a little "Daddy sang Bass" to really get the crowd going. The stage at the Paramount was fantastic. While the crew was finishing set-up and tuning, there were screens on stage showing pictures people were emailing in from their cell phones. So...Westley's picture was on stage at a Jason Mraz show!



We emailed one of his Gnome pictures to a special address and in about a minute it was in the rotation on the screen! You can see here we even got one of the picture up toward the end of the show with the the band on stage.
West wasn't the only gnome in the venue though, since the percussionist actually had a little Garden Gnome at his Bongos all night! How great is that?!

YES WE CAN!

Tonight, November 4th 20087, Barack Obama was has been elected 44th President of The United States!
Words can't begin express how proud, how inspired, I am to be alive in America at this very moment. I believe tonight is the beginning of the best 4 years this country has ever seen, and I am so thrilled to

witness this event of such monumental, history-making proportions in my lifetime, and especially in West's.

Thor and more...

We've really enjoyed all the Halloween festivities this fall. West and I went to a party for our mommy-and-me group and had a fantastic time with all the kids and their moms, enjoyed some great food and fun and we even won for best costumes! As you can see from the Halloween slide show to the right, West was the world's most precious Gnome, "Gnestle the Gnome" to be exact, and I was a gardener!

On Halloween night, West snoozed away with Grandpa Bill watching over him while Christian and I went to Scott's place for a Halloween Bash with good friends. Everyone really had a wonderful time, the costumes were hilarious and inventive and all of us had so much fun! Christian even won 1st place in the costume contest for his depiction of Thor, God of Thunder. I, dressed as Sif, Goddess of the Harvest, looked on proudly as he accepted an excellent prize of DVDs and some other treasures.
Thanks, Scott, for bringing THE PARTY home!!

It's been a great October and we are gearing up for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration in a few weeks,
and preparation for all the Winter Holidays.
It's baking time!!!!

Great Grandma and West

Great Grandma Virginia and West
October 19, 2008

She always enjoys spending time with her first great grand-baby!

A day at the Pumpkin Patch!

Autumn crisp and new...

Finally, an update! We've been quite the busy family since last I posted news. Allow me to catch you up on our lives post-July.

We had a nice, full, August with lots of celebrations for friends and family including birthdays, anniversaries, and a lovely wedding in Oregon for our dear friends, Alan and Amber. It was incredibly hot and there was little more walking-through-the-woods-in-heels-time than expected, but the garden ceremony was lovely and it was nice sharing the occasion with so many friends.

September was fairly uneventful aside from the start of my schooling at Everett Community College. I ventured outside my planning experience a bit to cater and design a lovely breakfast for 20 at the office of my dear friend, Sami. She's a lovely woman and I was so thankful for the opportunity to try something new in terms of planning and catering. The morning was a huge success, the food was wonderful and it was a proud day in my book. We also had the pleasure of watching Sami sing at the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival and had so much fun, but West especially enjoyed dancing along, and he loves his Sami!

Christian is enjoying his time at Apple being in the Alderwood store. He is working hard to update his website and get side projects done when schedules permit. He's also enjoying having more time with West while I work on school work or other projects around the house. Christian is always working on some idea for a short film, or an animation project and is trying to focus so he can really see things come to life and finish one idea before beginning another. I'm beginning to think he's far too creative for his own good, but he never ceases to amaze me with all he is capable of!
West is growing so quickly, no big surprise there, and his vocabulary amazes me every day. He is constantly talking and singing, loving to read, dance (still!) and play hall-ball, our little rainy day hallway soccer game. He also loves looking at pictures of all our family and friends, playing in his room and doing puzzles. First word of the day, every day, is "puzzoes"! Recently, we have been sharing Christian's Lego man "Bruce" (an old FAO Schwartz set-piece) with West and they are the best of friends! Favorite things lately, aside from puzzles, are zippers, mommy's spaghetti, bouncing balls, looking at pictures, Superman, sharing books, stacking and demolishing soft-block towers, blowing kisses, splash...I mean bath, nights, and hours of snuggles.

School has been interesting so far. Most of the class work is done online but for a few tests which I take on campus. The biggest challenge for me to this point has been the business math class and just keeping myself in check with the assignments and all the reading in each class, plus optional exercises and posting to online discussion boards. So far, I am getting by but I know I need to step up my focus and really set aside more time so I don't feel so stressed on Sundays trying to get everything in.

West and I have been enjoying mommy-and-me group activities when time and budget allow us to attend, and we are looking forward to upcoming Halloween parties and a trip to Stocker Farms for Pumpkin selection! While his costume has not been settled yet, Christian and I will be attending our wonderful friend's (Scott) big Bash on Halloween night as Thor and Sif (Wife of Thor, Goddess of the Harvest). We have a lot of work to do on our costumes and finding work time is challenging, but we're looking forward the end result. Pictures will be posted once they are completed!

With Christmas right around the corner I've been planning lots of sewing and knitting projects since we'll be keeping buying to a minimum like so many others, this year! I've recently joined a knitting circle thanks to Lyra, a cherished friend. We meet once monthly, eat, knit, chat, eat more, knit more and enjoy time away from the everyday goings on. The group, recently named The Wicked Stitches (Love it!!) is so fun and I'm very thankful to be part of such a great circle of friends.

Lastly, I am so thrilled to announce my return the the stage...or at least the back-stage! A few weeks from now auditions will be taking place for Northwest Savoyards production of "Once upon a Mattress" for which I will be serving as AD (I think!) to Sami! This is such a wonderful thing and I could not be more pleased to be involved with theatre and where so much of my heart lies. The best part of all this is that we will be putting the on show at the Everett Historic Theatre where I have done so many other shows in the past. Simply opening the doors and breathing in, listening the the heartbeat of the building, is like being home.

Biggest baby ever!

Okay, maybe he's not the biggest baby ever but West is still off the charts! At his 18 month check-up today, we learned his weight is 31.2 lbs and his height is 36.25 inches. It's wild to think my son is that big and not even 2! The doctor was greeted by Westley announcing "Doctor!" as she came in, after we just told him the doctor would be there soon. It was pretty priceless and the happy welcome pleasantly surprised our pediatrician.
She said he looks great, is right on track in terms of development, eating right,
drinking lots of milk and water, and general health.
It does a mother good to hear these things!

In grown-up land, I have decided this will be the year I actually start school and attempt getting an Associates degree in Business. My application has been accepted, I've selected my classes and have chosen some options for orientation and advising dates/times. If all goes smoothly with financial aid I will be attending Everett Community College for 2-3 classes per semester over 2 years. My schooling will unfortunately be funded by student loans, but the payoff when I can finally start my own Event Coordination business will more than make up for it. I will be taking my classes at night since I will be getting a weekend job once our crazy busy August is over and complete, people are married, birthdays and
anniversaries are celebrated and we can all get some rest.
The prospect of going to school so soon is very exciting so here's hoping everything works out!
On to the next...
August, here we come!

(If anyone is absolutely dying to get me a birthday gift,
Home Depot gift cards are just the right size! Seriously! )

Feeling at home

At last, we've nearly finished unpacking and settling in to our new home in Everett. It's really beginning to feel like home. After we get a few more small pieces of storage furniture, we'll be good to go and I can finally have easy access to my cookbooks!

Westley is really enjoying the space and having to spend less time in baby jail. He's been paroled, so to speak. Christian is enjoying being in his new store and West and I have been enjoying each other a great deal since I've been home with him more. He's constantly running, slipping and sliding on the wood floors, having a great time on walks to the produce stand and exploring the playground at Wiggums Hollow park just down the street.

(A little bath time fun with Daddy there for the soaking!)


(West's favorite morning activity is dancing with Ellen!)

Though most of what he says is gibberish to us, West's vocabulary has expanded quite a bit with new words like bread, Cotton (the name of his favorite bear), butt, turtle, doggy, duck, book, water, hat, nose, eyes and the list goes on. He's also learned to blow kisses and it is the absolute sweetest thing ever! Next week we will have his 18 month check-up. It's hard to believe he's only been here for 18 months since there are many, many days when I look at him and think he has to be at least 2 years old! It's been such a bizarre, incredible, adventurous time in our lives and while it has been extremely difficult at times, I can't remember much of what of life was like before West arrived. His laugh is infectious, his smile so handsome, and he is such an inquisitive, thoughtful child. Lately, now that he knows what a camera is for and how to say "pitcha" (picture), he's really been into modeling. He comes over, touches the camera, says "pitcha" and stands back a bit with a big grin on his face. My little Zoolander.....

While July has been fairly mellow with a nice Independence Day celebration at our good friend's Ranch (Stevie's home, The Pines) and a couple of minor illnesses (West had the croup, an awful thing for a mommy to try to make better), and a lot of unpacking and cleaning our new home, we are looking forward to a busy August full of outdoor activities and a little travel. With 2 out-of-town Weddings, My Birthday day of fun at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, a visit from Aunt Kaijsa, and lots of other birthdays and anniversaries the time is sure to go quickly. This coming weekend West will have his first visit to the Woodland Park Zoo as we all go with a group of friends and 2 Japanese Exchange Students they are hosting.

We are looking forward to more beautiful weather, lots of wedding fun, time with friends and family, grilling and chilling (after we acquire a grill, that is...), and enjoying life as best we can. We hope all of you are happy, healthy, and enjoying your summer days!

Just below you will see West
and my lovely Cousin Rose
enjoying a story.

Just above, say
"Howdy" to Westley the Watermelon Farmer!

Movin' on up...North

We've had a busy couple of months around here. After recovering from vacation and getting back into a somewhat normal routine, we decided it was time to focus on our search for a new home. As much as we love the West Seattle area for the summer fun, beautiful beaches, and great eateries, it's just not practical for us anymore. Also, as most of you have heard, our neighbors and the landlord company for our current building are seriously in need of some etiquette lessons and common sense education.

When we were thinking about where to begin our search, we decided on the city of Everett, about 30 minutes north of Seattle. Everett has a lot of small town feel and neighborhood niceties even with it's growing economy and lively entertainment/event participation, and we have always liked the area. Not to mention we knew we could find something just right within our budget and get more for our renters dollar,
and it's quite central to most of our friends and family.

Well, success has finally come! We found a lovely duplex managed and owned by a wonderful couple and it's in a good location. The 2 bedroom home has great amenities such as ample storage space, laminate flooring throughout most rooms, washer/dryer, lots of big windows with nice new blinds, a pretty little front yard, and the owner has agreed to paint the living area for us so we aren't stuck with white walls. Instead, the color will be a soft shade of green called Monet Moonrise. A great big park is right down the block from the new place, as well as a corner convenience store and fantastic local produce market. We are really looking forward to getting moved in at months end with the help of our amazing friends and families, and exploring our new neighborhood!

Once our move is complete, Christian will be transferring to the Alderwood Mall Apple store in Lynnwood, WA (just south of Everett) and will be there in his current capacity as a Creative. As for me, I will be leaving Williams Sonoma after nearly 11 years. I'll be looking for a job with evening hours so we can have family time and some full days off together.

In other news, we took part in the annual Multi-Family Memorial weekend yard sale at the home of dear friends Davi and Asa. We had excellent luck this year with some great weather, making a little money and best of all, we enjoyed quality time with friends. It's always so fun to catch up and see the kids playing together, how they're growing up so fast.

We've been trying to enjoy the little bit of summer weather we've had by going to the beach, taking walks and just being outdoors when it's not pouring rain, and we have time off together. It's a hard thing to come by, as everyone knows, and we certainly cherish every moment of it.

In Westley's world, he is walking everywhere, even running when he decides the occasion calls for it! He's talking more, dancing constantly, and smiling almost all the time.

Lately, he's very into trying new things, which is great since he's often been put off by certain things most little ones enjoy. When we went to the beach he actually sat in the sand and rocks playing after lots of patience and easing him into the experience. We're also trying to get him over his dislike of grass so we can take advantage of our new neighborhood park when the weather permits.

He's eating just about anything, loves sandwiches just like his daddy and Italian food like mom, and most importantly always enjoys his fruits and veggies! He's great at playing catch and loves to roll his favorite bouncy ball to and fro, he can show you where his belly, head, nose and eyes are, and will gladly show you where your belly, head, eyes and nose are, and he's still oozing sweetness and charm, always in public, and most of the time at home.

Walkabout

We just returned home from a week in Seaside, OR. It was nice, the weather was really 50/50. The first few days it went from fog to rain to sun and back again in the span of mere moments. The latter part of the trip was full of sunshine, blue skies and lots of ice cream breaks!

The best parts of the week were (1) when West started walking all over the place! He was really enjoying his week of freedom from baby jail, and is great on his feet. He has a wonderful ability to fall with grace and he only had one hard fall. Unfortunately that fall was in the crosswalk and he got a wee scrape and bump along the eye brow. After some cuddles and kisses he was up and going again and kept on throughout the trip. And (2) when West went in a swimming pool for the first time. He took to the water like a fish and was really enjoying himself after getting used to it. Christian is hoping West will take after him and be a strong swimmer. He's already got a great dolphin kick!

While in the area we enjoyed the beach, family game night, the Seaside Aquarium, a great bonfire complete with wienie roasting and s'mores, we came home with enough saltwater taffy to feed an army, and best of all we got a break from our noisy, yucky apartment.

I was deeply saddened to leave since I had my own room and bathroom for an entire week. West slept in his new Kidco Peapod Plus travel bed and it made a great barricade and fort during the day. The travel bed wouldn't fit in the room with the big bed and the rooms we're too far apart to have West all alone in one and us in another so Christian, being a kind and generous husband, granted me my own space for the week minus snoring and alarms and everything! It was glorious...

The trip was a welcome change from the everyday, and West really had a great time being the center of the universe with a bigger audience, but it's good to be home, sort of.

!!!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Coming home...

It is my great pleasure to announce the homecoming of
Mr. Scott B. Randall!
After living in Los Angeles and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry as a make-up artist, Scott made the decision to return to where most of his family and friends, and more importantly, his heart, reside.


Scott has been an incredible friend to me for more than 12 years and I am so thankful to have him in my life, and to have him home so all of us who know him best can share the light, and especially the laughter, he brings to every day.
Welcome home, Scotty!

And now for your viewing pleasure, a couple of little video clips I took with the digital camera.
They are a little dark but the sentiment is definitely there...
