Here I am, hiding behind the column (not really), trying to give space to the moment (also, not really). I get so excited! And, skateboarding is getting hard. Moving from ‘experiencing’ an activity to ‘practicing’ an activity is a whole thing.

Humbao now has his own bike trailer:) Last weekend was gorgeous. And, here begins my new take on our blog - not capturing everything for the sake of capturing something. I can’t keep up! So, some of life will make it and that’ll be that.

We’ve basically become the accessories to our accessories.

Jeans on jeans, socks and sandals. Alliteration in the PNW. (And, we’re obsessed with Harry Potter.)

Literally the day after we drank water from the sky while skiing and snowboarding, the clouds parted and we rowed a boat on Lake Union!

You get a turn! You get a turn! And you get a turn! It’s only a rowboat, with people moving around, and a puppy sniffing up and down, and an inconsistent breeze. A total breeze:)

We only drifted into one boat. Fortunately it was an old wooden boat and not a new fiberglass yacht. We’ll be back! So close to home, and so much fun!

They’re falling out! We think.

Meryl has picked up basketball and soccer practice with Trevor across the street. She loves learning new moves, and I love their show-and-tell when practice ends!

(Only the made up kind.) Afterwards, the kids had fun creating their own obstacle challenges for themselves:)

Swimming lessons are still happening…swimming capabilities are still growing. It’s been interesting to see their skills come, and their stamina come and go:) There’s a lot to think about before muscle memory takes hold!

Still at it!

The Suzzallo Library, a beautiful place to read a book! We visited on our way to see the cherry blossoms in the Quad.
