And Jake and Lyndsey are such amazing parents. I especially appreciated getting to take part in Calvin's bedtime routine of reading books and singing songs.
Can't help but quote the last four lines of one of my favorite poems by Strickland Gillian:
“You may have tangible wealth untold; caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be. I had a mother who read to me.”
Have to laugh out loud at this picture because it shows how active Calvin is. Lots of the reading time is spent with him choosing books off of his bookshelf and then motoring over and around Jake and Lyndsey as they read.
On Saturday morning, Calvin's Uncle Daniel came over and we went to downtown Seattle and walked through Pike's Place Market and then down to the water where Daniel and I got to enjoy the ride "Wings over Washington" that Jake and Lyndsey recommended. It was so good that just as it ended Daniel commented that he would do it again right then if it weren't so expensive and that "That was a great way to see our state." True.
Heading out on our walk.
Lunch break at Chipotle's, Daniel's favorite. Looks like it may soon be Calvin's favorite, too!
We had some good Grandma to Grandson visiting time in the car.
When we returned from our adventure, it was time for a walk with Sully. Such a great pup (although he's not much of a pup anymore and is super strong).
