Xanna’s in Calistoga! So we had to get a tour to refresh our view for when we can visit Calistoga…Frank and I got our first vaccine doses this week (waitlist mania is mania in Seattle), so fingers crossed! I teared up when we got our shots.

It’s been a good one!

Slushy snow and sunny skies!

Fun times catching up! After ‘feeding’ Baylie everything in the kids kitchen (using tongs, of course), Holmes took her down to the basement for a 1:1 chat:)

Move over, Bunny, we’ve got someone else to celebrate. Holmes woke up singing “Happy Birthday” this morning…for Digger. I asked if he was going to make Digger a cake, but Holmes corrected me saying we’d be celebrating with meat, gummies (vitamins), and toast.

Huzzah! Such a thing as an underwater phone case exists!

Scootering with Tito, with a check-in at the neighborhood Little Free Library.

Aha! Turns out the dishwasher silverware baskets are removable:) Research was needed to discover what fit inside them…toys turned into treats and baskets turned into trick-or-treat baskets. (I was lucky to be offered a choice of treats: mint, parmesan, chocolate, or bulldozer cream flavored.)

Flat light and pizza practice might:)

The high chair lives on! Holmes and Lola love watching the block and talking about what they see. Walk by on the weekend and they’ll be happy to talk about you too!

Too many cooks in the kitchen! I mean, isn’t it lovely that both kids were fanatical about helping to make pumpkin muffins. Meryl measured flour in units of hand-built snowballs and Holmes wanted a turn to try every step…tasting at every step too. How’d they taste? Well, I forgot to put sugar in:)

(Last weekend.) Xanna’s got her virtual work cut out for her with two kiddos demanding her time these days:)

Still six-feet a part, but inside and warm!

Who gets dressed up anymore? These two! All for literally five minutes of fun at the WAC for a portrait to commemorate the non-Father Daughter Dance. Hey, if there isn’t a photo, it didn’t happen:) Then they took their twinning Chucks attire to the game store for a Chess board.
