Quick recap #5: I met little Niko Crane Benson

Day 10 (4 of 14)



My friends Buster and Kellianne welcomed Niko Crane Benson
on Saturday, May 15th.

Unlike a lot of friends and family pregnancies, we got to witness their experience up close and personal because they did a great job blogging about it. I have friends and co-workers who are expecting, that have never met the Benson and rave about how great their blog is. They are both great writers with lots of humor, emotion and honesty in Zero to Baby. I love that they and Niko have surnames. Milton, Esther and baby Axelrod. Check it out. Its great.

Rather than having a bunch of people showing up randomly, the
y emailed out a calendar asking friends to let them know when we want to visit and we are welcome to bring food on the day we come. Mealbaby.com is a clever way since in this day & age, many of us don't have freezer space or even an extra freezer like our grandparents did to store all the offerings ones may receive. Mealbaby gives friends and family the opportunity to visit on days the new parent want visitors, get to see the baby and provide a meal to help the new parents out. Pretty neat!



I got to meet 9-day old Niko on Monday and he was out cold but extremely cute for a newborn.
Rather than cooking, I brought them food from one of their favorite restuarants in our neighborhood.
Here are some of my favorite pics of him so far....

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
