Holmes went on a field trip today to the Arboretum and got to taste wood sorrel, which he described as tasting like ‘green blueberries.’

Get it, get it, Meryl!

This is going to be Holmes’ sharing day photo this week. He will be sharing with his class how he practices the virtue of commitment. Go Holmes!

Had to take a picture tonight, it’s the cleanest it will be! Yesterday, it was a full family effort in moving furniture around in Meryl’s bedroom:)

Peanut clusters are back on the house menu! These are a delicacy Xanna and I would make (microwave required) that I haven’t had since becoming allergic to nuts. And since peanuts are back in the rotation, SO ARE PEANUT CLUSTERS! So good.

(Also, Holmes is growing out his hair. To what length, who knows?)

Biking season is in full swing! Especially with this sunny weather.

(Last weekend, and it was such a fun season with a new team and new friends!)

The sun is out, the cherry trees are in bloom, and it’s time for biking! We biked to the Seattle Children’s Theater today to see Young Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story.

Shockingly, it was only a week ago that Seattle had a snow storm, grounding Xanna in Seattle for a night before catching her connecting flight to Calistoga. Bonus!

This might be our last chairlift photo of the season!

Holmes sought all the off trail routes, mainly to plop over and eat snow. His favorite! (And after getting four feet of snow in the mountains in a matter of days, he had a feast!)

Of all the weekends this season, this was seriously the best!

Too many good moments!

It’s one big slush fest out there, and we’re wading through it!
