Foiled! Holmes ever so surreptitiously joined Meryl’s and Lainie’s candle blowing moment…to blow the candles out JUST before they did.

Success!

We got dressed up (well, Meryl mostly) and went on a boat ride around Lake Union while eating ice cream!

More partying!

Noelle! What fun to see Allison and Noelle to celebrate!

Cousins! Kyra and Lainie arrived in Seattle today and we’ve already spontaneously spotted them on the sidewalk! What a fun meet cute before our weekend ahead celebrating Meryl and Lainie’s twin birthdays!

Our family skateboard collection is complete! Holmes now has his own deck and was so sad to not be able to stay for a joy ride on the ramps. We’ll be back!

String cheese, please!

Frank headed to Las Vegas last week through the weekend for work…cash only as it was a hacker conference:)

Electrical work! We updated the kids’ rooms so that they can finally be…safe. Old house problems and a corroded electrical panel (surprise!) served to push this singular mission out to a months long scope creep of a project.
