Kieron Scott King

Posted on May 9, 2010 by Jonathan

Lindsey had a c-section scheduled for Friday, May 7th, but at 6:00 a.m. on Cinco de Mayo, contractions started. We went to our morning o.b. appointment where we were sent on to the hospital. By 12:13 p.m., we were parents to another beautiful boy, Kieron Scott King. He was 8 lbs, 4 oz and 20 in long.
Avery was thrilled to meet his little brother that evening. He burst into the room exclaiming, “hi Kieron, I’m your big brother!” We know the novelty will wear off, but for now it’s pretty sweet to watch them together. We’ve been home from the hospital since Friday and are slowly acclimating to life with a newborn and a preschooler.

Bainbridge Island

Posted on April 10, 2010 by Jonathan

Avery has been asking about ferry boats for a while, and we knew he’d love to go on one. So for one of our last weekends without a second child we caught a ferry out to Bainbridge Island for the day. It was cold and windy on the ferry ride, but that didn’t matter to Avery. He loved running around the deck and pointing out all the other sailboats.
Out on Bainbridge we went to Fort Ward State Park and took a walk. It’s an old military installation where they looked out for Japanese submarines (which never arrived). It’s one of the last waterways before you reach Bremerton.
We had some lunch in town and then stopped at Pegasus Coffee House. We met a nice old lady who lived on Bainbridge for 50 years. She had four grown sons and they still live on the island too. Finally we visited a huge playground before making the ferry trip home.

3 Years Old

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Jonathan

Avery turned three today. We celebrated by taking him to the Seattle Science Center, something he’s been asking to do for a while. The last time we went he was about a year-and-a-half old. He wasn’t so keen on the dinosaur exhibit as it was a bit too realistic. He loved the butterflies and the water cannons outside. After the museum we wandered around under the “Space Noodle” and then stopped by Cupcake Royale for a celebratory treat.

Avery’s 3rd Birthday Party

Posted on March 14, 2010 by Jonathan

We had a little party for Avery’s 3rd birthday. Four of his friends came to help celebrate along with our friends and family. The night before the party our oven broke so we had ginormous Costco cupcakes instead. I’m sure the other parents we’re appreciative of the extra sugar we dispensed to the kids 😉
We had a great time celebrating and visiting with everyone. Avery really enjoyed his presents this year. He’s getting pretty good at opening them.
