Emily came to visit us this week. We had a great time. We ate tasty Japanese food in the International District, and of course cupcakes two times. The Top Pot 5k was super fun with 2,800 runners. Alicia and Emily also went maternity shopping and to the plant sale. We got a third blueberry bush. Last night we all went to Christian and Meghan's to pick lilacs flowers for lilac wine Christian is making. Our lilac bush contributed a lot. Today we learned Alicia has gained 12 lbs total so far and she is feeling great, though a bit tired sometimes. Later we ate cheeseburgers and were tired. Now Emily is carefully packing up her many items. Sorry for the blurry photos, it speaks to my spotty photo skills, hopefully I'm getting better. Til next week.

Here is Week 25, Alicia pic of the week. This week features a retro Save the Bay t-shirt. Alicia sorted her shirts to find her favorites that still fit and would be fun for this fall. I'll have to start thinking of creative photo settings and things for Alicia to be doing each week. I'm open to ideas. See you next week!

The SuperHenry blog has a new feature - Alicia picture of the week! So everyone can follow along at home as her belly grows more beautiful each day. Here are two photos. The hoodie shot is from week 23, April 3. Alicia cooking in the dress is from tonight.

In other fun news we went on an awesome trip to Leavenworth this weekend and stayed at a beautiful hotel and saw beautiful spring forest, with mildly annoying slushy mounds of receding snow.
