Saturday morning I woke up to find the most adorable mother-daughter moment I'd ever seen. Steph had gotten up early to feed Lily, and once full Lily fell into a food coma and then quickly back to sleep. They sat on the couch, Lily with her small hand under her head rested on Steph's chest. I couldn't pass up this precious scene so I snuck off to grab my camera.
I walked off as quietly as I could so that I didn't disturb the special moment, went to find a telephone and called Kate (the ever famous zoo1023, who has paintings to die for!). I sauntered off with Fort towards Capitol Hill, which is in my opinion, one of the best neighborhoods in Seattle, to meet up with Kate for lunch. She took us to a fantastic little sandwich shop on Pike St where we sat and had a drink. Kate was kind enough to offer to drive us around the area for a bit to collect the phone numbers of apartment complexes in preparation of our big move. We drove around to at least an hour up and down streets, pausing frequently to write down the name and phone of a building, and often irritating whatever car was behind us. It was awesome, Kate rocks! (Seriously, go look at her paintings) When we felt we had exhausted the area we parked and headed to Dick's for some ice cream. It was the perfect thing to do on such an ideally weathered day.
We took our frozen treats over to Cal Anderson park and stuck our feet in the coolest fountain/pool I've ever seen. There were children running through the water in their diapers screaming with joy. There was even some sun bathing to be had! I'd say it was about the perfect. Kate and Fort really seemed to enjoy it too!
