It's all relative

I'm not gonna lie -- it's Sunday evening and I'm pretty tired.
But oh, what a weekend!

Isaac got to spend time with both sets of grandparents, and we enjoyed the visits and the fun trips around town.  Eric's Mom, Debi, and friend Mary were in town for the Lady Gaga concert (yes, you read it right!) and Eric's Dad, Don, made the trip over the mountains on his Harley to visit Eric's brother in Bellingham and spend a day in Seattle with us. Here's the run-down of our many adventures this weekend:

Saturday: Morning breakfast with Debi & Mary, followed by a trip to Carkeek park.  Then, we went to Qwest Field to watch my Uncle Chris participate in a Food Network 'tail-gate cook-off' (so cool!) and helped cheer him on with my parents and sister. But, Isaac is teething and was a bit grumpy, so we ditched the production and went to Pyramid for lunch and beers.  Then, we came home to meet up with Don and enjoyed a delicious salmon dinner with grilled eggplant and watched the Seahawks pre-season game.  Oh, and we also had a visit from friend Chad who came over to bottle beer (see what I mean... lots going on!).

Sunday:  We were up early again, and Isaac enjoyed more time with the grandparents (we enjoyed the help all weekend, too!).  Then we went to U-Village for lunch and shopping with Debi & Mary.  Isaac is currently sleeping (ahh...) and Eric is off at a 'meeting' (ie: having beers with friends to plan for their next  homebrew session).  And I'm enjoying the quiet... (while it lasts).

There were too many good pics to include in one post; there are lots more in the August Picassa Page.

Cheers!
