Life Milestones in Seattle: A Birthday, Wedding and Babysitting

Since we moved to London, I've been back to Seattle six times and Aaron's been back five. Of those trips, three have been for 5 days or less. This was one of those short trips.

Aaron's best friend, Doug, got married and Aaron was the officiant!! He did such an amazing job making the ceremony funny, sentimental, genuine and impactful. There were only 16 people present so it was a beautiful, small ceremony on the shores of Lake Washington. The bride and groom were stunning and it was a great day.

It was also Aaron's birthday the day that we flew to Seattle, so we had 32 hours of celebrating and a surprise waiting for him when we arrived : ) The look on his face was priceless as we arrived home to find his friends jumping out at him from a dark house!

We saw lots of friends and family during our visit (first time seeing Katie pregnant!), and even squeezed in a full day of babysitting with Colton! He's gotten so much bigger since the last time we saw him, and he is starting to speak gibberish and is now actually able to play with toys. I'm constantly in awe of how cute he is.

Another fun trip visiting friends and family back home! It definitely felt as if we never left : )
