Julie came to meet baby Ava! Julie got in town last Thursday night and we had a late night dinner date just the two of us.
On Friday we played in Gig Harbor and went to all of my favorite places. We went swimming at the YMCA. Ava loves the pool and swims several times a week, my in-laws take her to swim lessons. Then had lunch at The Greenhouse and shopped at Bloom and the Foundry. We then visited the newly opened Main and Vine. My overall impression of Main and Vine was that the prepared food is awesome but the actual grocery shopping is ok. FYI! Safeway in town is now offering delivery!!! The first delivery is free (which I plan on testing out this weekend) and then I'll report back.
On Saturday we went to Bellevue Square and had lunch at Nordstrom Grill. We shopped all around for big eye makeup! This is Julie's new mission after her Air Force careers ends this summer and she transitions back to civilian life- to wear color! Tom Ford's new eye palette turned out to be the ticket!

On Saturday night we went to Anthony's in the harbor and, like always, baby Ava was a champ. Ava noshed on her avocado slices and we dined on scallops and ling cod.
Ava LOVED Julie, she keeps asking about when we are going to see her again. The answer is this summer, for my parents 40th anniversary. Ava showed Julie how she can mimic, bounce, read her books. Ava has her "If I Were a Puppy" book memorized and will reach for the pages with fur on them and will try and turn the pages that don't..... she's a genius. We also got a great new haul of clothes from Julie. Ava is in 9 month clothes, but defiantly pushing for 12 month.
