And in the evening, this one ‘eats up’ everything we read:)

KEXP party with dancing and pizza dough throwing for the win three years in a row! These kids sure are lucky to have Frank as their father, smother hugs and all - he’s a catch:)

Meryl and Margot were at it again yesterday. We ended up over at Margot’s for dinner, combining our dinner plans...and introducing Margot and her family to Seattle hot dogs (with cream cheese and grilled onions)!

The Cottontails season has begun! Soccer boots and all (for Frank, really), Meryl was game to go to practice. And with the #10 jersey (literally the next choice out of the bin), she’s already among the ranks of Carli Lloyd on the US Women’s National Team, as well as Pele, Maradona, Messi, Bergkamp, Totti, and Zidane. Naturally, we’ve got the Women’s World Cup on now too - we’re so lucky to have a team of badass women as role models!

Another month! Holmes is eating a lot more and growing a lot more. Seemingly, from week to week he chunks out, then lengthens out! He’s inching his way around the floor and has graduated to the high-chair fixed to our kitchen island, so he has a seat at the table! Now for us to fold in the new routine of feeding him food (now that he finally gets it)...it’s on us to slow down and pack in the purées!

Because, what else are you going to do when you finally come face to face with joy?

  “Honey Buckets make me happy.” - Meryl

Ever since Meryl used a Honey Bucket several months ago, she’s been obsessed with seeing them. Good thing there’s so much construction in Seattle, it’s easy to guarantee a sighting. Frank, Lola, Meryl, and Holmes headed to the zoo earlier this week, where Meryl spotted a bank of Honey Buckets. The mother lode! And then she was speechless.

Always learning at the Pacific Science Center.

Santa Barbara girls weekend, and Frank’s holding down the fort with Lola and Tito. What oh what are they going to do?

Holmes showed off his pushups for Grandpa tonight. He’s twisting and inching himself around on the floor, crawling isn’t far off!
