A Honey Bucket and horses galore! An early birthday celebration with none other than the Cuddy classic - Mississippi Mud Cake!

Meryl had a camp at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), which was perfect because we’ve been meaning to play in the South Lake Union Spraypark out front. We’ve been biking by it for months and we finally got to enjoy it!

Wheels up! Holmes got to go to biking camp and while he’s not yet independently riding, he is enjoying practicing…mostly to the neighborhood apple trees and back:) The best part was that biking camp was across the street from school, so he got to bike to school afterwards!

And important foundational skills learnings:)

Bubbles! They never fail to entertain.

Holmes is getting really good at quietly expanding boundaries…on his terms.

Pista in Tagalog means festival, and it is also the name of an annual Filipinx American festival in Seattle. As it was back for the first time since the pandemic, we had to go!

That’s a wrap! Masarap means delicious in Tagalog…and after some delicious food, we were a happy bunch!

It’s apple eating season in our neighborhood! It’s pretty much a holiday season for Holmes as he loves fruit so much.

Makeup! Practice, practice for being an artist and a model:)

Meryl stopped on her way out of camp to continue working on a project that she had started…I stopped to recognize, she’s growing up!

We biked to the Olympic Sculpture Park for the Seattle Art Museum’s summer Chinatown / International District party with a Sammy the camel sighting, dragon dancing, origami folding, food eating, and music listening fun!
