how Seattlites deal with the "heat"

I know, I know. The rest of you are dashing for the air conditioning, and dunking your heads in the lake and whatever else you do where it's really hot. But in Seattle, where summer is lightly 80s, we put washcloths on our heads and go to the beach.

Two different playdates on two lovely weekends. Thanks to Megan W for the photos and thanks to Cooper, Hiram, Reuben, Zoren, and Harper for playing!

sleeping quarters

A lucky find on Craiglist, paired with some advancements on Brixton's part, led us to a weekend of furniture moving and satisfaction. We had been talking for a while about getting a bunk bed for the kids. Up until this point, Brixton was still sleeping with us, in his Co-sleeper. I won't go into the mechanics of bed sizes and discussions of such, but we decided that Unity should stay in her room, Brixton could stay in our former room (the purple room) and Chris and I would move to "the yellow room." This weekend we found a great deal on a sturdy used bunk bed and were were able to dis and re assemble, with great results.

Going...

To the Storm game with Foley, grocery shopping with the bikecart, to Pride with Megan. Happy end of June.

a tri-party agreement

Today was an important milestone in the history of baby summits. Josephine (9 months) Brixton (8 months) and Desmond (7 months) converged. Many toys were chewed and it was concluded that teething is one of todays most important issues. In other news, Seattle has finally FINALLY reached the temperature of 75 degrees. Unity celebrated on a swing.

happy fathers day

Clapping!

Some outfits

Unity loves getting dressed. I sometimes have to remind her, as the person who does her laundry, that we really don't approved of three fashion changes per day. Here are some recent outfits, all self-chosen, that she's rocked.
