Rahel + Scott

We met as co-workers at a marketing agency in Seattle over eight years ago. After six months of working together, Scott asked Rahel out and the the rest is history! We love each other a lot. It's kind of a cheesy thing to declare, but it's true. We've explored different countries together, nurtured our careers and built a wonderful life together.

We love every aspect of parenting, but the bedtime routine we have at home has to be one of our favorites. We normally have dinner at home, then retreat to the living room for a board game, kid podcast,  piano or silly dancing. After a bath and pajamas, Johannes picks out the books he wants Scott to read to him before bed.  We think it’s wonderful that he’s amassed a little library and his own reading couch in the corner of his room.

We can’t wait to start this tradition again. We can’t wait to give Johannes’s little sibling his or her own room, and see what kind of little library they choose to build. We can’t wait to get him or her a little couch, and create a new bedtime routine showered with the same warmth, comfort and love we’ve been able to provide Johannes.

There isn’t an hour that goes by when we aren’t hoping that the wonderful gift of parenting a child will happen again.

We spent the morning at Kubota Garden, a Japanese garden located by Ranier Beach. We try to go there every couple of months. We went home for lunch, where I tried a new homemade ramen recipe inspired by my (Rahel) favorite dish from our favorite ramen shop. It was so good ☺️ We took a nap to recover from the soup and then headed to T-Mobile Park to watch the Mariners beat the Rangers! I am not really into baseball, but Scott and Yoni love it. I’m usually there for the famous garlic fries and amazing view of the city (see latest album for pics).  Japanese garden, lunching on homemade ramen and a evening of baseball was a perfect way to pass the holiday.
