Baby Loves Disco, Halloween party! Our friend Spencer puts on an annual family dance jam in costume each year, and we’re the lucky ones who got to go! We initially considered dressing as Californians as we had packed shorts, but decided the dance floor judges only our smooth moves and layered up instead.

First time at daycare!

I brought Meryl to WeeWACs, the daycare at the Washington Athletic Club, as I was at a New Member Reception for the night. She did great, probably due to her dinner of chicken fingers, mac ‘n cheese, and French fries.

Allison is having a baby girl in April, due on our wedding anniversary! Or Lummi’s birthday if she arrives a week early:) In total, we have three more cousins on their way - Colt & Emily in November, Matt & Becca in December, and Allison & Sam in April!

Get in my belly


Dim sum! Meryl wore her “I’m All That and Dim Sum” t-shirt for the occasion as well:) Chicken feet, dumplings, steamed buns, and sesame balls...she ate it alllllll.
