Meet the newest member of our family, Ozzie.
Aptly named after one of our favorite Seattle Sounders player, Osvaldo Alonso, this gem is our new home. That’s right. All 540 square feet of him. Jealous? Thought so.
Here are Ozzie’s stats:
- Effective built date: 1951
- Bedrooms: 1
- Bath: 1
- Finished square feet: 540
- Lot size: 2500 square feet
Now meet the growing member of our family, Twinkie.
Not so aptly named after the popular dessert, Twinkie, this growing bump is our first child, scheduled to make his appearance early February 2016. Oh, and don’t worry, Twinkie isn’t his actual name, just that name we’ll use before he is born. Double oh, we don’t actually know if Twinkie is a “him” yet. It is just easier to pick a pronoun to describe Twinkie rather than writing “him or her” all the time.
Here are Twinkie’s stats:
- Due date: February 2016
- Gender: unknown
- Current fruit size: carrot (~10.5 inches long)
- Current weight: ~12 ounces
With the birth of our first child ahead of us, we know we need to make more room for our growing family. And so, we set out on an insane quest to remodel our house while also preparing for the birth of our child. This blog, Making Room for Twinkie, is an attempt to document this project over the next several months.
We’d love to have you follow our progress. Follow the link at the bottom left of the page to sign up for email notifications.

Be sure to post pre pix. I’d love to see what it looks like inside and out. Before and after. This is quite exciting.

Love this! Of course, you’re remodeling a house while you’re pregnant because that’s what we do. Rick: Peg! Come help me move this cast iron kitchen sink to the yard! Peg (7 1/2 months PG): Sure! Explains a little about who Shar is. Love the sweet house. Love little Twinkie. Love you and Nik!

I thought I replied a few days ago from my phone however, I will likely never “get” how to successfully use all these new fangled electronic communication gadgets. Not that any of this is new to anyone but me! As always, I’m excited about all the things happening in your very busy lives. Neither of you like being idle so Twinkie and Ozzie have definitely taken care of that! Hope your trip is wildly successful and you come back with great pictures and stories. Travel safely and happily.
I love you both…make that all 3 of you! Baby shower will definitely be planned so stay tuned!
