On the Tahoe Gal

Dog Cage Boy

We went to our oldest Seattle friends Robin & Pat's yard sale on Saturday. They are moving to NYC! Good for them but we'll miss them a lot. One of the items up for sale was a dog cage which Tommy decided he'd crawl into. He's become quite a little comedian and enjoys making people laugh.

Tommy's new job

He's very excited to start working at Trader Joe's

Our little princess

A sleeping angel

This is how Aunt Helen and Uncle Martin get Tommy down for a nap.  Pretty comfy.

and here's how he looked when he woke up. I think we all know how he feels.

Tommy and Iris are checking out the ducks

this was at Fishermens Terminal last Saturday morning, after brunch with Kris, Ben and Steve Dettman.

Enjoying the one man band at Ballard Farmers Market today. He was playing Muse's Knights of Cydonia, then did Dynamite by Taio Cruz

Iris had fun at soccer this morning

Happy Father's Day to Me!

This morning was Doughnuts with Dad at the kids' daycare to celebrate Father's Day. My gifts, from top:

• Iris dressed up as dad at work on the card she "colored really nice" (she really said that to me). I know I'm biased, but I say she is pretty damn cute.
• Race car bobblehead hand painted by Iris.
• Tommy's handprint Father's Day card. 

Warms my little heart!

First haircut

Apologies to Uncle Bob, who gave Tommy his first haircut around Christmas, but Tommy went for his first professional trim at Rudy's in Ballard yesterday & came out of it looking pretty darn cute, I must say. He was pretty unsure of the whole process, so I held him on my lap & let him suck on a dum-dum the whole time. He naturally got it all over his face, and then the hair stuck to it, so it looked like he had a little beard by the time it was over. 

Iris was very good during her haircut too & got a trip to the gelato place as her reward. Sorry, no pics of her in the chair.

Tommy Hitting the Bottle

our friend Jana took this pic of Tommy at the Mariners game last Monday night

My sister Denise AKA Geegy got us the Ed Hardy can coozies as a joke but they do come in handy (and they are wicked cool!)

My little angel

Tommy got sent home because he was "sick." This is how he "recovers" at home.

Which is the weirder baby name coincidence?

1) We met another couple at a local park last weekend. They also live on NW 60th St in Ballard. They have a 4 year old boy named Thomas & a 2 year old girl named Iris (the first other little girl Iris we've ever encountered in person). The mom is white (parents live in NH), and the dad is Asian, so they're like the mirror image of us, with Tommy as the older one & the races of mom & dad swapped.

2) My brother Jack has 3 boys: Will, Luke and Reed. In the baby room at Tommy's daycare there are 4 other boys: Jack, William, Luke and Reed.

Iris loves gymnastics!

Tommy's birthday cake

Tough to say if he likes it or not, since most of it landed on the floor.

Tommy's birthday circle at daycare

At Chiang's for Tommy's birthday dinner

But he's asleep. We also came here to eat when he was just 2 days old.
