A couple of weekends, we went and stayed at a friend’s cabin on vashon. As it happened, it was also Megan’s birthday. Chard created another in a series of masterpieces for dinner. An excellent beef tenderloin with homemade raviolis topped with shoestring leaks. Things threatened to fall apart at one point in the evening as the power decided to go out just as we were getting ready to boil the water for the raviolis. We were able to improvise and boil them on the propane grill. As always, many things contribute to me forgetting to take pictures of the items in the meal before they get eaten. Of course, I completely forgot to get the camera out in the morning when Chard created the eggs benedict the following morning.

The weather had threatened to rain the whole time we were there but the sunshine broke out for awhile during the day on Sunday. I’ve got a picture of sunset and one during the day. It’s nice to have this kind of paradise so close. If we hit the ferry right, it’s less than an hour from door to door.

sake!

Megan, Otto, Scott, and Olivia made it down to Blue C Sushi the other day. Here’s to having a good time!

The last week and a half brought some new added excitement. A few more firsts were accomplished along the way. Otto went on his first ferry ride to Bainbridge Island to attend his first art opening for Karin Schminke. Pease also got his grubby little paws onto Otto on the ferry ride back. He experienced the true joy of a baby having a bowel movement!

Josie, Neel, and Rowan came over for dinner the following night. Tiberious considers himself a baby so he fir right in with the other two. Rowan is on the left, otto is in the middle.

Momma and Otto cuddling on the couch.

Anya and Axel had a party out on Lake Washington last weekend. Momma Pease was at it again. Also a nice full moon rising near dusk.

otto and i getting some quality time watching football together. He’s also giving me a few pointers on how to drink my beer.

after the morning game, we headed out to Deirdre and Patrick’s house on vashon. That was glorious. On the water, mid 70s. So close, yet so far.

otto looks to finish out 5 weeks with a bang. he had a great time with gramma and grandpa miller. he’s finally taking on little piggy characteristics. eating at all hours of the day and supposedly moving beyond the 9lb. mark. otto got to go to mugger’s tiki party on sat. he’s making his wishes known a little more often. no pictures of this but we’ll get them, he had his first bath in a little tub the other day. he’s not 100% on people sponging water over his little butt. tra la la! enjoy. i know i am.
