Lola and Tito brought over a tricycle for Meryl tonight. We all learned how to build it (thanks, Tito!) and Meryl learned how to ride it - with her helmet on, of course!
Father Daughter Date at the Zoo
Took Meryl for a quick jaunt to Woodland Park Zoo and she couldn’t resist a twirl on the carousel.
Can’t help it
Last pumpkin picking montage:)
Ferry boat
Xanna’s in town! And we headed to Bainbridge Island today for pumpkin patch family mania too!
Celebrate
Kinley’s 5th birthday too!
And, I’m out
Thank you, Molly:) Obviously, my good side.
Meryl’s first Shake Shack
Shake Shack is opening their first Seattle Shack and I went to the VIP Preview tonight before their pending opening. And Meryl gets to have her first Shackburger.
Hi Xanna
Learning about the Senior Loan Committee. Lummi, on the other hand, is more concerned with acquisitions.
Post play date
Being social and nice to people is tiring!
Store merchandising
Meryl and I went shopping for a light for the baby’s room, and I turned around to find her testing out the bedding too. At least she took off her shoes! Me taking this picture gives no positive reinforcement at all:)
Pre-school made us do it
Amazon profits yet again with a shipment of all our potty training needs. I guess those friends of hers at school are good influences, but we’re scrambling at home to figure this out! Into the great beyond. Something is always changing.
Brought to you by FaceTime
Xanna talked to Meryl about all the things she could do with an oatmeal container tonight, like drumming! Perfect pre-bedtime activity:)
Hey Taxi!
Back from LA and here is the gift I got Meryl.
While Sarah and I were vacationing in Los Angeles, we went into this shop and they had this wool taxi cab and knew I needed to get it for Meryl.
My dad was a taxi cab driver and we want to find touches that Meryl can know him and her little ‘Hey Taxi’ is one of those things.
Why ‘Hey Taxi’? That was the name of his cab company when I was a kid.
One look says it all
I’m pretty sure Meryl is doing just fine with Lola and Tito while we’re gone. In fact, with this look, I don’t even think she’s even missed us.
Meryl’s view
Today, we visited The Broad museum in downtown LA, where we got to experience what Meryl sees every day! Here we are, standing ‘Under the Table,’ by Robert Therrien, an exhibit of a table and chairs three times the size of a normal set. She won’t have this view for much longer, as she’s growing too fast already!
Meat the size of our heads
Nothing like kicking off a romantic weekend for two with a third wheel! We were so lucky to make it on to Kyra’s social calendar last night. Plus, that meant we could order more food! We also got a primer on the movie industry and everything we need to watch (hello maternity leave!), and best of all, the chance to catch up.
