Is this the dentist or a relaxation retreat?

Meryl got X-Ray’s of her back teeth today - no molars yet. We also learned a fun (and kind of disturbing) fact about kiddo front teeth too. Many front kiddo teeth purposely have looong roots, which (get this) dissolve as their permanent teeth grow in. So, many of the kiddo teeth that fall out are just the top of the teeth! Can’t wait for this in real life:)

Or, no time wasted to celebrate our continued membership in the No Sugar Bug Club…with sugar:)

With the sun setting so early these days, searching for Christmas lights is our new favorite after school adventure!

And capturing the moment!

Plus, lotion in her hair because…style.

Some nights, Meryl leverages her quiet time to the max. Here, she piled hair clips in her hair, rings on her fingers, and stickers on her hands. She also decorated her room to look like our Queen Anne bookstore (her stated goal for the evening). All in all, beautiful:)

Lummi got a new dog bed! We all had to try it out.

Meryl described the scene, “We now have three dogs and two parents. That’s a lot to handle.” So, we played relaxing dog music (really, there’s a playlist to be found for anything these days), and Meryl and Holmes played their own relaxing music with their ukulele and trumpet while lying on their new dog beds too:)

We are super fans of chanterelle toast! Luckily, they’re prolific in the Pacific Northwest these days.

Ginger molasses cookies this weekend! And Meryl is an expert at rolling cookie dough balls in turbinado sugar.

Holmes gets to face forward in his car seat now! And, these moments are worth capturing for all the moments that are not:)

Eating meat on the bone (wings) while watching people talk about bones! Seattle’s Burke Museum opened its Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline exhibit via Zoom this evening with a fun peak into the gallery led by the exhibit curators, friends, and literal paleo rockstars, Paleontologist Dr. Kirk Johnson (Sant Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History) and Ray Troll (Alaskan artist). 

Laughter and a show…talent, TBD:)
