Still no pictures :(
I still have not taken my digital camera in to get the pictures loaded onto a disk so I could post them. Bad Dandy, I know. But, we have been so busy I just have not done it.
Today Sophia and Gavin, well really it was Gavin and Sophia (he was the instigator) learned how to use the doggie door. I am very surprised they both could fit through it, Charlie is so small the door is not very big at all. But, they both crawled through back and forth several times. I did get a few pictures on my cell phone, but I am technologically impaired when it comes to sending the pictures from my cell to my email. It always gives me an error, which leads me to believe I am not allowed to do this while roaming. So, I will try when I get home.
We had a wonderful time at the acorn's party yesterday. Ona announced she is pregnant! Congrats to Ona-Lysa and Andrew, you will be wonderful parents. I believe she is due in early April.
We went to Southcenter Mall today and shopped til we dropped, or until Gavin passed out and then came home to hang out. Tomorrow I will be going in to get my hair done, I really need to! My gray hairs are getting outta control. I am only 32 years old how is it that I have any? At any rate I will take before and after pictures and post them sometime, hopefully before we fly back to Charlotte.
I still have not completed ANY of my to do list! I will start working on that Wednesday, maybe we will try to go to Snoqualmie Falls, I think it will be hot here, and probably a bit cooler there.
I will try to keep the blog updated. We miss you all.

Adventures in Seattle
I don't have any pictures to show, but I know everyone wants to hear how we are doing. Sophia, Gavin and I arrived in Seattle after a very long, but uneventful flight. I almost think having a lay over to get off the plane and stretch their legs is worth the hassle. Luckily Gavin has a killer smile, so the lady in the seat next to us didn't mind getting up for us to 'restroom' a gazillion times.
After landing we went straight to Taco Time, man I miss this place. If I were to return to work, I should think I would want to open up a Taco Time franchise (good thing for Shannon I am allergic to work).
We have been working on establishing some sort of routine since we got here. The sleeping situation is not the best, but we are all coping. Gavin wakes up at 7AM no matter what time I put him to bed. At home this is OK, but I am on vacation and I want to sleep in! Oh well, at least it is 7AM pacific and not eastern time. Sophia has been staying up rather late for her, I hope I am not setting myself up for issues when we return to Charlotte and our 'normal' routine.
Mom had her 50Th Birthday Bash. What a great time had by all. Gavin was so tired he laid down on the dance floor to try to sleep, amidst all the music and dancing. Silly boy. HE finally went to bed about 9:30. Sophia stayed up dancing and playing the night away. I got the best picture of her and her new 'boyfriend' Brendan. I will try to get it downloaded and post it this weekend. Mom is now a half century! AS one of her friends said in a card "how the hell did that happen". I can only imagine how I will feel when I am that age.
We have done several shopping trips, much to the kids' dismay. Gavin was so tired he slept in the stroller, he has never done that (well, maybe when he was an infant). We went to visit my great grandpa, Sophia and Gavin's great-great grandpa! He is 93 and still hanging in there. Shannon teases that he has no hope of out living me. IF he had grandma Pat for a wife he would! She really keeps Grandpa healthy. It was great seeing them and I did get a good picture of the 5 generations that I will post when I can get the pictures downloaded.
I went to a Mariner game with Sarah and Robyn. We won, I was too busy talking to catch most of the game. As I once told Shannon when I was ready to go to bed and he was trying to catch a score: "somebody won, somebody lost; come to bed"
We have plans for dinner on Sunday with the acorns (Ahearn's for those that don't know, they are part of my moms family on her dads side this includes Sarah and Robyn, with whom I went to the Mariner game with). I am really looking forward to that.
To Do:
Snoqualmie Falls
Woodland Park Zoo
Playdate with some of the July05'ers (Stephanie if you see this email me)
Seattle Center
visit Mars Hill Church
We have 2 weeks to do these things, so I think we should be able to get to it all.
I promise to try really hard to get the pictures done this weekend, really!
Love to all,
Dandy, Sophia and Gavin
