July 24th

Eden is a little under the weather today, but her writing is really coming along nicely.

Bonus video: here is Eden asleep on the couch.

July 15th

Today I took some video down at Gasworks. Eden really enjoys puddles.

Note that the Space Needle has the top painted orange, which apparently was the original color at the world's fair 50 years ago.
We wandered down the the water, threw some rocks in, and then as we wandered back saw a bunch of pretty and small birds flying very low to the ground.

July 14th

Courtney's friend Schuyler was in town this weekend, so we went down to Pike's Place to eat piroshky.

You can see the fish throwing station in the background and I pan to the pig for part of it. From there we had a brief stop in a section of SAM with a terrifying wall mural where Eden posed for pictures.

After a nap we went to the park where Eden learned that flatulence is always funny.

stuffed animal party

When Eden came home today, most of her stuffed animals had gathered in a circle for a party. She was excited about this and I helped her pass out one giant lego block to each of them. Later, she made the mistake we all have at one point or another and tried to play matchmaker for a moose and an octopus.

And the first tiny bit of this video was taken by Eden- she is pretty fascinated with the camera.

4th of July/Anniversary #3

Hi Everybody,

Courtney and I spent our anniversary wandering around Seattle with the little one. First we visited an old friend who lives under a bridge by our old apartment.

As you can see, Eden was excited at first, but soon all of her attention went into doing this...

Soon we wandered on to the Fremont Waterfront, with the faint taste of baby thrown grit in our mouths.

It was tiring, but despite the fact that it was our anniversary and we had done the pushing the last time, someone insisted that she get to nap in the stroller on the way back.

Note the festive tree and the atypically poor camera work, also the attractive gentleman in the red hat.

take care,
John
