Arg- so much to blog about, so little time to actually blog. I suck. I’m sorry.
But I have lots of excuses for not dutifully updating you on our lives!
- Our household grew- Ben came up for an extended visit! (He’s working on a project with Mike for the next two months at Microsoft.)
- Our household grew again- Amy flew up last Wednesday, followed by her friend Allison on Thursday. They left Saturday morning (and took the white Mini with them- ::sniffle::). We’re down to one car- let’s see how this adventure goes.
- I caught a nasty cold, and therefore was a rather crappy host.
- I got better- yay!
- Mike turned 29!
Out of all of these fascinating goings-on, Mike’s birthday serves as the best overall blog posting topic- not only is it the only thing I really took pictures of, but it also included both Ben and Amy. Amy was originally supposed to fly in late Wednesday night, but when she heard about the gala we had planned to celebrate, she changed her flight.
I know you’re wondering what kind of fine dining experience warrants going to that kind of trouble- well, remember that this was Mike’s birthday, so it was his choice.

Yup, I’m married to somebody who really loves his hot dogs.
Diggity Dawg might be Mike’s favorite restaurant in Seattle right now. Not only do they have hot dogs with a pleasing dog-to-bun-ratio-

but they also have a million topping options and a wide selection of dog options. I still don’t eat beef, so I had linguica.

They even have Field Roast sausages, which are vegetarian and don’t any soy, which I dig, since soy now scares me.
Amy and Ben ate real hot dogs, and ate them like men.

We had some other wonderful friends show up and celebrate with us. Because everybody loves Mike.

The other freaking awesometastic thing about Diggity Dawg?

YOGURT!
Also, the walls feature some pretty awesome artwork:



Kid art always makes my day.
But you know what really makes my day?

That guy.
Happy Birthday Mike!
