Meryl’s idea! Hey, she had a sweet deal with the Mama Magic Carpet:) Margy’s sledding hill by morning became the perfect skiing hill in the afternoon!

Blowing on the fire to get it going!

Snow is coming! And we’re ready!

We have a new pet! Meryl put on Lummi’s holiday pajamas and magically turned into Fluffer the dog:)

Seeeeeriously:)

Loving the sun! We biked all weekend…snow is apparently coming this week!

Welp, short hair and fat fingers yielded none of Meryl’s envisioned braid requests today…back to plain hair. Also, she’s always game for a haircut. There’s no winning.

Holmes fell off a stair and got a concussion, and had all the concussion symptoms, so we raced him to Seattle Children’s Hospital. Luckily, his CT scan returned normal and he sprang back with an in-room snack. But still! What a luxury to live so close to a children’s hospital where they ‘know’ kids and purposely pay attention to research about concussions in kids.
