More Rocks? Yes, Please!

Chris was gone this week on a business trip. I was so thankful that Grandma Faiola came up to help me out for a few days and then Grandpa joined us. He took the train up from Olympia.

  

Grandma and Jamisen are the best of reading friends.

 

We also had a visitor to our property this week. Such an angelic little guy right?

 

We had wondered where our birdseed was going! We just thought we had very, very hungry birds. It turns out we just have one very hungry deer!

  

 Grandma went out with tennis shoes to defend the honor of our sovereign birdfeeder territory. The deer did not care.

   

We went to Boulevard Park and relished the arrival of the sun. Jamisen did not want to get out and play but then, miraculously changed his mind after a Spinach/Feta twist from Woods Coffee. =)


 

 Jamisen ran, threw rocks, followed seagulls, ignored other children his age and got his shoes wet while frolicking on the beach.

   

We went to Dashi Noodle Bar and Mallards Ice Cream. Jamisen loved the sticky steamed buns (plain) at the Noodle Bar and stole Grandma's Licorice Ice cream.

 

We had such a fun weekend; Jamisen was a joy to be with and we were all so happy to see Daddy when he arrived back from his trip late Saturday night. Things aren't the same without him and Chris adds so much to our happiness as a family.
