Grandpa raked in the jackpots playing bingo and poker while he was in Seattle, and spent his winnings on fun stuff like a puzzle for Meryl. We puzzled three times in a row this afternoon!

Meryl’s classroom recently cleaned out the sensory table (so long, sticks) and corks made to cut for the next round…Meryl knew just where she could get some more to bring in!

Don’t we all, Meryl. Don’t we all.

Carrots, of course!

Goodbye, Atmospheric River raining over Seattle! Hello, sun!

And, we went back! We saw divers in the water and out of the water, touched a river otter pelt and saw a river otter swimming, and touched coral. We love the Seattle Aquarium!

And Holmes played independently!

Our kids are so lucky to grow up with Lummi. She’s the best.

Gah! So fun. And Lola knit Meryl a poncho for the occasion:)
