Still a lightweight, and still has a sizable head full of intelligence:)

Right on queue, Miss. Terrible Two has arrived! No! Also, Frank recipe tested a salmon chowder for a friend writing a seafood cookbook, and the Alaskan salmon snob in me approved! As for Meryl? No!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Meryl! Birthday burgers and Connect Four to round out the celebration.

TWO! One day early to extend the celebration! Pool party! Frank made tacos and ribs (fish sauce caramel and BBQ), and everyone ate them all. Cake and cupcakes, a dozen kids, and fun galore. Party time, excellent!

Blowing the candles out, “like the wind,” didn’t quite register, but we all made a wish regardless! (Also, Chelsea makes the best cakes.)

It takes a village!

One of Xanna’s favorite things to do! Also, pajamas:)

 I’ve always said, “condiments and sides make a meal!” In this case, remoulade, gravy, peanut butter, and honey! All things that go with biscuits.

 A weekend must for all!

Xanna’s here for the weekend!

 A lot of them. All put on at once:)

Breakfast? Nope! Lunch? Nope! Snack? Nope! Dinner? Kind of. Ice cream? YEP!

We’re sooooo not there, but will take all attempts!

 Another Google flashback. Look who washed up!

A potty! The thrill of what you can’t see.
