Holmes quite enjoyed hanging out with Grandpa and getting his back scratched. Grandpa enjoyed it too:)
Cheers for peroxide
Well, Lummi one-upped Grandpa by swallowing a sock. Thanks to peroxide, we got her to throw it up. And the kids decided running up and down Margy’s driveway was the perfect way to pass time while we were waiting. (Thanks, Margy!)
Bubblesss
Might as well practice swimming in the tub with blowing bubbles amidst bubbles.
Stealing wheels
Holmes has been ‘eyeing’ Meryl’s bike and with Meryl moving into two-wheel riding confidence, we scored a hand-brake bike at our little ski-store-now-bike-store down the hill…bike supply chains have been disrupted this past year, so we jumped at the opportunity to get an already built ready to ride bike before the summer! (Plus, after an intense career of searching vaccine waitlists, celebrating by cutting short a next career of searching for bikes seemed fitting.) Also, who is this two-and-a-half year old kid who wants to ride a bike? Slow down!
Bike mania
Not quite confident, but practicing!
SUPERHUMANS
We did it! We got them! Second vaccine dose shots in arms!
Interloper
Sushi dinner anniversary night celebratory photo…bombed by Meryl at the last moment:)
Sushi night
From Meryl: “We are eating sushi, and I am devouring salmon eggs, and Holmes is eating.”
H O L M E S
While working through our wedding playlist, “YMCA” played, which reminded Tito of how he spells out MERYL on the sidewalk below her bedroom window when he leaves in the evening, which inspired Tito and Meryl to spell HOLMES!
Art creation review
A bouldering path…and, Darth Vader’s legs.
Happy Anniversary to us!
Six years in and it’s pretty great! Sushi takeout dinner, champagne, and the soundtrack to our wedding night…pandemic partying pandemonium!
I still love my dress
Thanks, Xanna, Sasha, and Lisa for alllll the consulting and searching fun!
To the beach
Meanwhile, Mom and son morning date! Only, we didn’t get very far. A digger was parked next to where we often park and the celebrity of the moment had to be seen. And much like when Meryl met her first real-live Honey Bucket, Holmes was both excited and daunted:)
Bouldering with pizazz
(1) We learned today that climbing without ropes and harnesses is called “bouldering.” (2) If you’re not bouldering in leopard print, are you really bouldering?
