Meryl’s deadpan continues
Meryl wanted ‘nothing’ to do with Santa, Mrs. Claus, or candy canes...and somehow I ended up sitting on a rocking horse with her on my lap, sort of.
A nightcap with Emily Elizabeth and her big red dog, Clifford
After a busy day meeting Santa, fighting colds, and eating cupcakes, nice to unwind with some storybook time.
Quarantined
Turns out, Meryl’s nauseous stomach bug this week was contagious. Thankfully, Frank and Xanna are holding down the fort while Meryl and I recover - and we hope it stops there! (Thanks also to Lola for hanging out earlier when Meryl stayed home from school. It takes a village!)
Terrarium imaginarium
We have the best neighbors! Jenna continued her plant theme with a terrarium gift for Meryl (Holmes got a fun onesie). So we had to put it together tonight. Thankfully, we’ve kept (and used!) the aloe plant she gave us when Meryl was born!
Life is good
Holmes snoozes and Lummi nuzzles. Life is good.
Bock, bock, bock
Meryl got to feed the neighborhood chickens their favorite food, worms!
Sunset walk
Fresh air and sanity to pair!
Harry Potter advent calendar
It’s December first! Daily fun for both Frank and Meryl!
‘More salad, please’
What? This is a once in a lifetime moment, had to capture it.
Holmes the Hipster
Holmes filling in his hipster quota by hanging at La Marzocco and the KEXP Gathering Space.
Show and tell
Meryl shared baby Holmes with her friends at preschool today. Lots of interest from all, and all were gentle and kind! Her class teachers also initiated ‘siblings corner’ this week with three other friends, who have baby siblings the same age...to talk about life:)
Aqua therapy for two
One stayed above deck, and the other went below, but both benefitted! Next week, pool noodles!
Purple power
Grandpa had his finger nails trimmed today, and also strolled out with them painted purple for Meryl! Fist bump to that!
Happy Thanksgiving!
A full week of family fun!
