Meryl has finally relinquished the sweater that Allison knit her when she was a baby. Well, maybe…the sweater, turned bolero, could always be a shoulder wrap:)

Same age, same store, same cart, same aisle - just three years between pictures!

Father Daughter Dance picture is in! This was the one they thought was best:)

Grandpa raked in the jackpots playing bingo and poker while he was in Seattle, and spent his winnings on fun stuff like a puzzle for Meryl. We puzzled three times in a row this afternoon!

Carrots, of course!

Goodbye, Atmospheric River raining over Seattle! Hello, sun!

And, we went back! We saw divers in the water and out of the water, touched a river otter pelt and saw a river otter swimming, and touched coral. We love the Seattle Aquarium!

And Holmes played independently!
