Also, Meryl and I went to open swim today, where Meryl desperately wanted to go on the rope swing, garnering lots of attention from all. Gotta sign up for swim lessons, we now have a goal!

Meryl showed Lola and Tito her twirling skills via FaceTime. Falling over dizzy is half the fun!

First sushi! Though, she was more interested in the soy sauce, which she wanted to drink. Flavor.

It was a perfect afternoon to bike to the beach! And, we came home with a literal pant load of rocks.

Yellow with glitter on top!

  ...Though, only she can see them.

Pretty soon they’ll probably be dangerously jumping on this bed.

Pre-bedtime energy boost.  Entertainment? Or procrastination?

 Our six year old. This girl turned another year older this week, and we can’t believe it’s been six whole years!

Lummi got a whole week of celebrations from going to dog parks to getting to eat a personally chosen birthday cake by Meryl:)

Prime time for the cherry blossoms in bloom at The Quad at UW this weekend, plus sun to boot! We thought that visiting at 8:30am on a Sunday would give us some breathing room from the crowds, nope! Though, it’s all happiness...friends and families together, wedding and new baby photo sessions, strangers taking group photos of others - smiles all around:) (Oh, Holmes.)

The pre-school friends birthday party circuit continues! We celebrated Vera and all things unicorn at a gymnastics gym, shockingly close to our house. We’re rediscovering Seattle as parents! Also, rainbow colored bagels exist; FYI.

Bongos and a ukulele showed up on our doorstep from Xanna! Rhythm nation in the rainforest. Now to tune that ukulele.
