I know, I know. It’s been a while. Here’s a quick update:
Lucy’s 15 months old…and just now starting to walk, but only on her terms. If you ask her to walk or try to stand her up, she flops to the ground and throws a mini-tantrum.
Charlie’s officially 3-and-a-half and had a special day at school to celebrate his summer birthday. Here is my attempt at editing ten minutes of video down to something you might want to sit through. By the way, I’m officially over iMovie—if anybody has any suggestions for a cheap replacement for easy video editing, let’s hear it.
I think I mentioned this before, but it was COLD last week. I like the cold. Especially—in retrospect—now that the weather has returned to a typical moist Seattle winter. My brain has thawed, but is now soggy and my hair…it’s wind-blown.
I watched the weather forecast and waited for the last of the sunny, cold days. By Friday, there was enough gunk in the air (like Los Angeles, only with parkas) to produce some stunning evening light. I took the opportunity to gather the family on Queen Anne for a quick, frigid photoshoot.
This morning when we left the house, the thermometer read 17°F. I know it’s not cold, relative to much of the world. But to Seattleites, who will complain about the weather, regardless of what it has to offer; this is unbearable.
I triple dog dare you to lick the Needle.
Next week, we should start to see some warmer temperatures as the clouds roll in and bring the typical winter drizzle that we’re all comfortable with.
The typical winter drizzle that we’ll all complain about for the next 5 months.
This is Lucy’s latest trick. As soon as she stands up she becomes overwhelmingly thrilled, giggles, wets herself, then plops back down. We’re all convinced that she can walk and probably runs laps around her crib while we sleep at night.
Great! Now walk in and put some clothes on, would ya?
