Martel Boys Visit

My brother ML and his sons Luke and Reed (Will couldn't come because he had baseball) visited from the Bay Area last weekend. We had a fun visit even though it rained pretty hard most of the weekend. We went to the Museum of Flight on Saturday and then took the Safeco Field tour and bowled a game on Sunday. Here are some pics of our fun. (Big thanks to Irene for the great rainy day activity ideas XOXO)
This pic of Iris in the Mariners dugout is a recreation of one from when she was less than a year old:

Apologies to Tommy but that last one was pretty good of everyone else.

Tommy's appetite

After his 9-month check up, we're hoping to get Tommy to gain some weight.  Tommy is transitioning to real food so we're looking for ideas/suggestion for healthy "fatty" food. So far we know he likes ham, smoked salmon lox, sweet potato, tofu and pasta.  Going to try avocado next.  He's only got 2 teeth but it's not slowing him down.

2010 Santa Photos - the Untold Story

This is how Tommy ended up alone on Santa's lap. These photos describe what happened better than I could, and also explain where Santa was looking in frame #3. This all took place in maybe 3 seconds.

2010 Santa Photos

As many of you have already heard, Iris declined to pose with Santa again this year. Tommy had no such qualms - here he is with ol' Saint Nick:
(Santa's focus was drawn by the screaming little girl who just squirmed away from him)

Iris was okay posing with this Santa:

Here's what it may have looked like if Iris had stayed on Santa's lap:
