rainfall comparison and the Sequim Banana Belt

We spent the holiday weekend in Sequim, hoping for a little break from the typical winter rain.  As it turns out, a storm went through most of Western Washington, so it didn’t really work out to be a dry weekend.  On the bright side, we did have clear weather for most of Sunday so we walked Dungeness Spit and the bluffs nearby.

not even a fair weather fan

As you may have heard, the Seahawks won the super bowl and Seattle celebrated a major championship for the first time in many years.

(see winter picnic 2013)
This year I (temporarily) took on a little bit of responsibility at the picnic as my parents were out of the country.  We survived and by the time time picnic started the rain had cleared.

pregnancy reads

These are the best books we’ve come across so far, related to pregnancy, birth and babies.  I checked out lots of books from the library, read many of them and bought a few.  There are thousands of books on the subject so figuring out what to read can be tough and I hope this post is helpful to friends.
