Hanging out at Rothies with Wexler and Jamie:)

Happy Father's Day sweetie...Now I know where Parker get's that face from!

OK, so Parker was caught in the act of finding her "puff's," opening them, and eating them. For those of you that don't know what "puff's" are, in the parent world it's aka as Kiddie crack! Too funny how smart they are even at this age.

This past weekend was wonderful. But it didn't start out that way. Will someone tell me when traffic got so bad driving from Portland to Seattle? We left around noon and thought that would be PLENTY of time to make it to my girlfriend Katie's 6pm wedding. We thought WRONG . We rolled into Seattle at 5, and had to throw on our clothes for the wedding and leave a very unhappy baby with Rothie . Parker was fine until we hit the 4 1/2 hour mark. The whole way there was traffic. I was so stressed, and yes had a little bit of road rage as well. It was seriously ridiculous though.

We got to the wedding at 6:20 (after heading BACK into the city and hitting Mariner game traffic!), we were just in time to see their vows. Phew. Then proceeded to eat, drink and dance the night away. Well, until 11, as we were exhausted from our frustrating day of travel. Katie looked amazing and it was a beautiful wedding.

Saturday Rothie, Kev, Parker and I then headed down to Pike Place market and had a YUMMY lunch at Matt's In The Market overlooking the plaza. The restaurant is in such a wonderful location and I can't believe I have never been there before.

That evening Wexler and Jamie came over for some Parker time. It really is so neat to see your good friends interact with your daughter. I really can't explain it. It's just special. After some yummy Indian food and a showing of "It's Complicated," which was awesome, it was time for bed.

Thankfully on our way home it wasn't as bad. However it did rain cats and dogs the whole way home. Needless to say, we had a wonderful weekend celebrating Katie and Taylor's wedding and hanging out with wonderful friends.

I think next time though, we might take the train.....

Hope you all had a great weekend!
