Baby Mandle

 A lot has happened since our Snowpocolypse post back in February of this year and we apologize for the hiatus. Believe me, it was not for lack of post material, but rather that we were too busy to post! By now most of you have heard that baby Mandle, affectionately referred to as the Little Guy, is imminently due. We have been busy bees this spring preparing for the Little Guy: entertaining, spending quality time with family and friends, nesting, planning events, designing, and so much more. In an effort to catch many up to date we would like to share some highlights that capture a little bit of what we have experienced and accomplished February - May.


Mom and Aunt Leslie visited us this winter - It was a cozy, chatty trip. Thanks Rob for putting up with us!
















A visit home, to Orcas Island in March. Me with my Dad visiting one of the houses he built.



My Mom and I enjoying her garden and walk outside!



















I surprised Rob for his birthday - A house full of people dressed for a Mad Men, or should I say Mad Mandle Night!

















Party people, Mad Mandle style! 
















More party goers




















Part of the surprise birthday party was to have Rob's parents and little brother down for the weekend from CT - Thanks Mandles!


















Dan, Catherine, Jackson, and Amelia visited us this April from MN - Jackson loved the Cherry Blossoms and hanging out in this tree!


















In May I visited Lynnette and Clay in NC with Heather for a long weekend. It was so great to see the newly engaged couple and celebrate with them!
























To wrap this series of spring highlights up, we will leave you with an image of our Little Guy. This ultrasound was taken in March.
