No cavities here!

Another new favorite thing of Faedon's....brushing his teeth. He feels like quite a big boy brushing his teeth and using the sink like mommy and daddy do....

Taz has struck gold

Faedon just learned how to feed the dog. And now tries to feed him every chance he gets! Just one of the many helpful things he does these days...along with handing us towels while we're in the middle of showering and throwing glasses in the sink...

boys and trucks...

One of the things we love about Seattle...tons of fun stuff for little kids. Our favorite is the children's museum....it's not really a museum as much as it's a huge indoor playground with different "exhibits". Right now, they are featuring Bob the Builder....and all Bob's little truck friends. Faedon thinks it's the best thing ever...

When in Rome....

I'm not sure what you're really supposed to do when in Rome, but when in Seattle in mid-May, I'm learning that you eat Copper River salmon. Holy moly! It's quite a big deal out here. I'd seen all this fuss on the news yesterday that the copper river salmon was here (it shows up May 15'ish every year), so I decided tonight to stop by our local fish market on the walk home and pick some up for the Doyles. First off, it's $33 a pound. But, after grilling it up tonight, Terry and I are believers in the madness. It's delicious stuff. Check out the link I've put at the end here if you want more info...but basically, it's salmon that has worked very hard to get up the cold Copper River in Alaska, and as a result it's extra fatty and extra big (but apparently it's the good fat that will give us a nice shiny coat and extra brain cells, so we're feeling ok about the extra fat). And it's only available for 3-4 weeks, so I foresee the Doyles eating a lot of it in the next few weeks. Who knew? http://gonw.about.com/od/fooddrink/a/copperriver.htm

The extended Doyle Family...

These pictures were taken at the end of March, when we were up in Buffalo. The two kids are Samantha and Ryan (Shawn's kids - you can see a bit of Shawn's head behind Ryan) and then the other picture is Aunt Dorothy and Colin.

Some pictures of Ash's office...

Here are a couple of inside and outside shots of my office, in case anyone was curious. My office is about 2 blocks from the sound, in the heart of Seattle.

They grow up so fast.....

Just because a guy wears footie cow pajamas doesn't mean he doesn't fully understand how to work an Ipod...
