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.
Wait, where are you?
FaceTiming with everyone else is expected, but seeing us on screen was a flip from the norm.
Shhhhhhh...
It’s slumber party time with Lummi!
This is how we do it
Showing Lola and Tito how to feed Lummi! We are headed to LA tomorrow and Meryl is holding down the fort while we’re gone - with lots of help!
Neighborhood kids event
Today we headed to a story time with Curious George and the man with the yellow hat, joined a tea party, had our cheeks painted, and got stamps on our hands! Kids events are crazy, but naptime afterwards was the true reward:)
Dumpling night
Again, other people’s food always tastes better! In this case, Lola’s dumplings. Frank spent the day making freezer meals. I’d say nesting has begun again, but Frank is doing all the work! Dumplings, chili, meatballs, and more tomato soup with tomatoes from the garden (keep ripening!).
Ketchup soup
Last night, we headed to Allison’s to round out her solo-parenting stint and brought tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. ‘Some’ preferred to eat ketchup soup:) We also went fancy and sat at the dining room table! So fine and refined are we!
Play date in the park
Play date at Discovery Park! An oasis in the city, and fortunately close to the house. Everybody gets to run, Lummi especially!
Have fun in Alaska
Most days at 4pm during the summer and fall, the cruise boats toot their horns on their way out of the terminal, and we say, “have fun in Alaska!”
Swaddled like a baby
We’re reading books about babies these days. Sometimes, you just gotta try these things out for yourself:)
Zoo crew
Cousin mania continues!
