(So are Meryl’s pajamas.)

Well, reading the same books over and over (their choice) does have its benefits…Meryl remembered every word to one of Holmes’ favorite books and read it to him this morning!

He’s now ready for one single deep puddle.

Yep! Out from the depths of the garage arose my old Polaroid camera. It’s magic!

He was so excited. And loved it. Like, really loved it. Like, we’re ditching him for the whole day tomorrow.

Same get-up. From now on, Holmes can be his own individual:) Look at him though, such swagger.

Last Friday, Holmes’ teachers made him a video to welcome him to class, tour the room, and meet his new friends. We’ve been watching it all weekend in prep, this morning included.

After dropping the kids off, we got coffee (like the Seattle-ites we are) and took our oldest child to Discovery Park to celebrate. It doesn’t take long to wear her out and put a smile on her face!

VOTE!

Fresh tomatillos for salsa and homemade tortillas!

Focus for Frank, merriment for Meryl:)

The view spot apple orchard is ripe for picking! And Holmes can’t get enough.
