Holy freezer meals, Frank!

Bolognese, onion oxtail soup, barbacoa, enchiladas (thanks, Lorraine!), lasagna, Mississippi roast (it’s fine, but not Internet amazing), sloppy joes, and tamale pie - so far. Also, operation eat all our protein in the freezer before the fall lot lands for the next year.

New shoes for Grandpa

Frank found these cool shoes for Grandpa, with heels that zip open to make them easy to put on and take off! Nike, of course:) Xanna is also flying through this weekend on her way back from the vineyard, so we all had to FaceTime with Grandpa for a shoe preview. Meryl tested and approved!

High-fives on the Ferris wheel

And cute pumpkin hats a la Lola! Earlier this week, we double dated with Maya, Lauren, and Dan on the Seattle waterfront Ferris wheel, with dinner at Red Robin afterwards! Got the burger nostalgia fix from our youth, and are good for a while now:)

Safety first

Lola and Tito brought over a tricycle for Meryl tonight. We all learned how to build it (thanks, Tito!) and Meryl learned how to ride it - with her helmet on, of course!

Store merchandising


Meryl and I went shopping for a light for the baby’s room, and I turned around to find her testing out the bedding too. At least she took off her shoes! Me taking this picture gives no positive reinforcement at all:)
