Guess which book we've been reading?

Report from Grandma Jo: Blake just went down for a nap and is bonking around in his crib hollering "I think I can, I think I can!"   :)

Where'd our baby go?

Jeans & a jacket & suddenly he's all grown up.

Talking to Strangers

Blake came to work with me today. After patiently playing in the big room outside my office, we had a lovely walk around Tangletown & a donut at Mighty-O. We passed a number of people walking, coming & going from their homes, & at each sighting Blake hollared, "HI!!!" Usually multiple times until the person acknowledged him.

Discovery Park adventures.

The Ballard "Up" House

I've walked or driven by this house a number of times, knowing only that a little old lady refused to sell to developers. It's my understanding that this story was the inspiration for the animated movie "Up." It's interesting to know more of the story.

Catching Up...again

A friend recently quizzed me about what foods Blake was eating at certain ages. Unable to rely on fuzzy early-mommyhood memory, I found myself looking back at blog spots. It made me realize how much I enjoy this space as an archive of our lives. So, I'm going to try to catch up again. We'll see how long it takes me, but hopefully many more posts will be coming your way from May-Oct 2014! Happy blogging!

Baby Lucas

My dear friend Liz gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in March. We have visited them in Mt Vernon multiple times, but our visit in June was particularly nice. We had lots of time to play and visit. Blake spent some time with Liz's husband, Steve, exploring on their property while mom had quality time with Liz and baby Lucas.
