A Very Seattle Saturday

As the only 2 in our house who are relatively less sick, Faedon and I spent the day yesterday doing some distinctly Seattle things....like visiting the aquarium with it's unique collection of bizarre fish (this lizard fish fascinated us), watching the cargo ships come in, having a little chowder at Pike Place Market and then shopping for supplies to make better specialty coffees at home. And it was a lovely day.

4 steps to being Taz's best friend

Step 1: Locate dog's food.




Step 2: Retrieve handful of kibble



Step 3: Carefully arrange kibble in bowl




Step Four: Summon dog and watch adoringly as he eats. Success.

Do we bore you Taz?

I tried to catch a quick picture of Taz tonight, and both times he broke into a huge yawn just as I clicked the button! I think the wee ones are wearing him out.

Family time

Awwwwwww.

Sick Day

Kellyn was sent home early from daycare yesterday with a slight fever, and was still feeling a little under the weather today. So, I stayed home with her and we've been doing very important things - like learning how make a pinwheel work. While she still hasn't quite mastered it, I do consider it a small success that she realized she had to remove her binky to blow on the pinwheel!

Fun with lattes

My latest obsession is with lattes. Green tea lattes, to be precise. I made my first one this morning, and while it was not exactly a resounding success, I have some ideas on what went wrong and how to improve it, so I expect to have it figured out quickly! And once I've perfected making the perfect green tea latte, next up will be how to add latte art like this to the top of it! This is what happens when you live in the coffee capital, I suppose...

Opposite in every way

When Faedon was a baby, we had to beg and plead to get him in the tub. With Kellyn, we literally can't keep her out!
