Date Night: Matchbox Twenty

This weekend Lindsey and I left Avery with my parents and had a night out together. It was great. We haven’t ever been more than a few miles away from Avery, and going to Seattle by ourselves was liberating. After dinnenr & beer at the Pyramid Ale House, we went to the Matchbox Twenty and Alanis Morissette concert at the Key Arena.


At the coffee shop.

Seattle Aquarium

Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Seattle, and we had a great time playing in the city. In the morning we met up with some clients to chat about their wedding at Joe Bar. The coffee was phenomenal, and it was a great spot to spend some time hanging out. The only downside was the long line which prevented me from getting a second coffee.
Afterwards we took Avery to the Seattle Aquarium for his first glimpse at marine life. Lindsey and I hadn’t been in years, so it was fun to explore. We ended up getting a membership. We’ll have to take Avery back when he’s a little older.
Finally we met up with some friends and their daughter at a park. It turns out they’re pregnant again with number “last”. Good work guys.

Mr. Mischief

I like this shirt Lindsey chose for Avery. He’s not really mischievous (yet), but it’s still pretty cute.
Between crawling and walking behind his push cart Avery gets around pretty well. We’re going to put the push cart away for a couple days and see if he can take some steps without it.

Avery’s 1st caucus… and ours too

Yes we can! And we did.
Today was caucus day in Washington state. After walking to the local high school armed with Cheerios and Goldfish crackers, we crowded into the gym to vote and elect delegates. In our neighborhood, we sent four delegates for Barack and one for Hillary. Avery was a great sport throughout the process, smiling and staying generally quiet.

In January our niece, Nicole, celebrated her fourth birthday. The little girls got all dressed up for the princess-themed party. We’ve been meaning to put up some pictures for a couple weeks. Here they are….
