From the Blog-O-Sphere

Summer is flying by. We have a low-key weekend planned: more basement work and a family jaunt.

Not sure where we’re going yet. If you live in the Seattle area and are looking for hikes, this site is worth checking out:

This evening I told Chris we needed a drone. One of the tiny quiet ones on which you can mount a GoPro. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Here is an even better reason to get one: Drones on a different mission.  

Tell the driver behind you what you really think.

That’s it for this week, folks.

In other news, Emma is perfecting her backwards slide. Yesterday she slide under the coffee table and it took me a while to track her down.



She’s starting to get those legs up and under her so I suppose crawling isn’t too far away.



Not surprisingly, she finds this process to be fulfilling and frustrating at the same time.


When in doubt, take a breather. And suck your thumb.
