Seattle, here we come!

It's been over two years for me, and three for Laura, but the time has come. We are landing at Seatac tomorrow. A week in Seattle will go fast: we want to see many friends, stroll freemont's streets a latte in hand, eat dungeness crab, salmon and Thai food, rediscover microbrews, and get our fill of Northwest scenery.

We'll spend most of our month vacation in Colorado, prioritizing the family. We are currently in Denver, visiting my in-laws. It's been a while since they last saw Nathan, at least ten months for Bob and Margaret who met us in Tuscany last fall, and even more for Tom. It's good to see them enjoying each other.

Tomorrow, we'll be in Seattle, and we'll get a better chance at getting updated on friends news. We too had a few things happen to us, that will make for conversations. First and foremost: a wonderful little boy named Nathan, who doesn't tire to amaze us. Then, for his Daddy who got tired of limping for two years, a back surgery. And for his Mom, a big belly where a little sister or brother is cocooning.
