Open and closed, open and closed...repeat! 

Kristi and Erin stopped by between holiday parties to celebrate Meryl’s new do and the start of a lifetime of hair-flair. And while the Seahawks aren’t worth mentioning, the steak sandwiches with cheese sauce are. 

Cellar Dwellers do meat and bold reds! And, Meryl had her first bone marrow. Of course she loved it! Xanna is feeding her Cheetos.

Mom, Xanna, and Meryl went to the salon today:)

Xanna told Meryl all about raising tadpoles tonight while reading about speckled frogs sitting on speckled logs. With Xanna here, that means Grandpa is ‘also’ in Seattle! They flew down this morning and checked into UWMC rehab today. Milestone achieved, and on to the next step! 

  This year, we all headed to the Mahan’s on Bainbridge Island for our holiday cousins get-together. Kids everywhere, we over potlucked, and Matt brought his espresso machine for the morning...success!

 ...With little Miss. Blue Steel.

Where does Santa’s beard end and his coat begin?   

Tis the season! Purple power with the UW Alumni Association at the Woodland Park Zoo. Yup, we’re becoming zoo members. 

...Horses at the zoo! Meryl loooved the merry-go-round. 

Go Seahawks! 

Meryl has a special spot in her heart for all the Stutzers:) Thanks for visiting, Mal!
