Make A Wish Gala 2008

The Make A Wish Gala has become a tradition for us now after three consecutive years. Natalie is on the steering committee for the foundation so this is always a nice payoff for a lot of hard work. This was also a nice break from the baby. Thanks Jollyne (a.k.a. Granny JoJo) for watching Kendall so that the three of us could go out on the town. The event raised $750K, so it was a huge success and my headache was testament to a good time...

First Vists!

We've had quite a few visitors so far to gawk at Kendall. The Tanners have been in Seattle for the past couple of weeks helping us get situated and watching the baby while we run errands or to allow us to catch a quick breath! Here are some pics of our visitors including The Tanners, The Portland Dents, Emily Vanderipe and Charla Dent (My Mom and Sis). Love to you all.

More Kendall!!!

Had to share a few more photos while logged in. After 8 days of life, she has already logged in two trips around Green Lake. It's been nice for Mom and Dad to get out of the house too! I'm headed back to work next week so Mom will be taking it solo soon.

Introducing: Kendall Jollyne

It's been a long time since we've posted to our blog (as you can see) but we're back online now! We wanted to share a couple of photos of the newest addition to our little family, Kendall Jollyne Dent. She was born on February 20, 2008 and weighed in at 8.6 lbs and 21 inches long...a bit larger than we expected, Ouch! Mom did a great job getting her out and both are doing great. Nights have definately gotten longer and sleep a lot shorter but we're all really happy to finally have her in our lives.

We'll be updating the site as much as possible with photos and news. We can only hope to be as diligent at Azla.

Memorial Weekend

Nice lazy weekend around Seattle. We spent one day at the Washington Wine Highway at Chateau St. Michelle with the Tanners and the next on the boat with The Hirata/Woods and The Schells. Great weather in Seattle??? What?

Yakima Float and Fish

Hot day on the Yakima with Pat and his lab Macy. She was more interested in the little yellow strike indicator than retrieving sticks. Unfortunately, the fish weren't quite as interested as the dog but we'll get em next time. Better than being at the office.

Dinner in our new backyard

After a long drive from San Diego, the Tanners made it to Seattle just in time for our backyard launch party. Nala the dog was there too. We also celebrated Jollyne's birthday...a bit belated. Another fun night with the in laws! Good food and even better wine.
