Flying high at FanFest

Max was the only one able to make it out to FanFest this year. Well, that is beside me.

And beside me is where he was for the final hour or so of the event after spending the earlier portion with a friend.

The highlight was a trip on the zip line in the outfield, which Max requested and showed no fear on. Check out the video below.

Taco Night & Movie Night

Not sure what's going on in the crazy world outside, but inside our house this evening it's Taco Night & Movie Night.

And all is alright.

From "Miss you, mom" to Mr. Mom

The Elisa is on her way to Spokane for a few days which means a boys' weekend for me and the little fellas.

Reunited!




We kicked off Cosi's visit with a dinner with all our old friends and neighbors.


The next day we put together a little day of fun for the boys, complete with a trip to the park...



The Flight Museum








Ice cream


Pinball and...


Pokémon cards!

Max's best bud, former neighbor and friend since birth, Cosimo, was in back in town this weekend. He and his family moved to Costa Rica last year and have only been back a couple times since.

Max had been counting down his visit and sleepover for months. Since he was here last July, we've daily heard, "When is Cosimo coming back?"

Book it


Max is now reading chapter books on his own. His first is Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, which was one of Elisa's favorites when she was a little girl.

Looks like he might have the bookworm gene from his mom!
