A good portion of the day, Jeannette got to hang out with her best friend’s little guy, Liam. It was pretty awesome. Liam is wicked smart. Here he showing off his tattoos and muscles… along with his love for corn dogs.
Jeannette was also lucky enough to be back in Seattle at the right time to catch a Dance Rehearsal for her old Academy and to see Becky perform. It was fun seeing the hubbub and craziness of rehearsal again, kids running around like mad, and the general chaos.
Simon was born 5 days ago – just in time for Jeannette to meet him on her trip to Seattle! It was great being able to see our old friends, Amy & Joe, even if only for a bit.
Jeannette made a quick trip out to Seattle to see Becky’s commencement for her MBA (yay Becky!). It was gorgeous Saturday, The Mountain was out (our grandparents’ have an amazing view).
Josh noticed that Dad got some photos uploaded on his website that were taken by Armando Gonzalez (here). I snagged a couple of the initial surprise to post here. Our other photos from our one and half day quick trip are here.
We flew back to Seattle to surprise Dad for his retirement party. Only Ma knew. So we also got to surprise Becky, Grandpa, GrandDad, Grandma, Uncle Bob and Aunt Dee! We had great fun! We actually needed a place to rest our tired bodies and party prep after we sat on the tarmac that morning for 3 hours (pilot slept through his alarm) so we went to Grandma and GrandDad’s before the grand unveiling at the party and surprised them and Aunt Dee early at the house.
Check out more photos after the jump!
