A Week at the Lake

This past week, May 14th - 21st, the Petree's were housesitters for our friends the Dunn's, who own a beautiful home on Lake Tapps, here in Auburn, WA. Shawn was working a normal week, in and out of the YL office, but Moriah and I felt as though we were on vacation! The weather last week was unusually warm for May in the northwest, tempertures in the mid-80's. Don't feel too sad for Shawn...every afternoon Shawn could be found "fielding calls" out on the lake in the Dunn's ski boat with our highschool friends tubing and wakeboarding. Life as a Young Life director can have it's perks! Moriah did venture out on the boat a couple times. She felt pretty cool in her neon life jacket!

Uncle Jason Came to Visit!

Last weekend, May 13-14 was quite wonderful for several reasons. I celebrated my first Mother's Day (I absolutely LOVE being a Mom!), Uncle Jason came all the way from Texas to visit his 7 week old niece, Moriah...and us too, of course. What a treat! Shawn's Birthday was May 13th, so we had a festive BBQ party and invited a few of our closest friends. Jason cooked up authentic Texas BBQ on the grill (needless to say, there were no leftovers)...Shawn felt very loved and appreciated. As a gift to Shawn and me, Jason helped us install yard lighting in our back yard...It looks incredible! We'll enjoy being in our backyard that much more this summer!
