Sunday was a busy day for Ellie. She started with the birthday party of her friend Max, and then followed that up with a new adventure: an hour of rock climbing with her neighborhood buddy Logan! We went to Stone Gardens in Ballard, where Ellie and Logan were outfitted to climb with the assistance of … Continue reading Ellie Rocks at the Climbing Gym
Our PEPS group has been meeting mostly-regularly now for two years, which is great. Tonight everyone was there, so we took advantage of the weather to get a group shot: [L-R: Zoe, Ellie, Amy, Ainsley, Elliott, Mazama, Olive] Compare to this one, almost exactly two years ago (June 23, 2008): [L-R: Elliott, Amy, Ellie, Olive, … Continue reading PEPS Kiddos June 2010
Ellie’s good friend Ainsley became a big sister this week, as her parents David and Dana welcomed their new daughter Annika to the world. Ellie and I went to the hospital to meet her (Kim stayed home because she’s still getting over a stomach bug). Ellie was great with Annika, being gentle and attentive enough … Continue reading Ellie Meets Annika Bos
Kim has started her class at the UW, and in addition to the actual classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, she meets with her group on Sundays. She knew that today would be a long session, so I had Ellie all afternoon. I’ve gotten tired of playing Play-doh and kitchen, so after her nap we … Continue reading Making Cookies at Citrus Manor

Independence Day this year started off awkwardly. I was going to work in the morning, then we’d do something fun in the afternoon and evening. However, sometime in the late morning I fell asleep for a couple of hours, throwing everything off. (I didn’t realize I was so tired.) When we left the house mid-afternoon, … Continue reading Scenes from July 4, 2008
Friday marked an important milestone in Ellie’s development: Kim and I escaped and left her at home! Okay, she wasn’t alone. Our good friend Glenn Fleishman and his wife Lynn gave us a couple of babysitting gift certificates at the baby shower, so we redeemed one so that Kim and I could go out and … Continue reading Outing: Date Night!
Thanks to daddy and consummate organizer Glenn, we’ve been enjoying a steady stream of prepared food from friends over the past month. (Thank you everyone!) Last night Ellie met her third baby friend (the first being Glenn and Lynn’s boy Rex, and the second being Agen and Parie’s boy Sofian): Isabella, daughter of Peter and … Continue reading Baby Visit
