Seattle - Fremont

We flew out of Philadelphia yesterday to visit the Carusos in Seattle. It was great to finally see where John, Annie and Annabelle live, but it was even better that they already had everything we needed waiting for us since Annabelle is 14 months old. Zoe was incredibly good on the flight. She slept for just over half of the time and only fussed a little bit. Take off and landing didn't seem to bother her much at all, which is great because Cheryl and I plan on doing as much traveling with her as possible. Before we set out for the day, we made sure to eat a hearty breakfast. As always, Zoe enjoyed the solid foods the most.



Once everyone ate, we loaded up in the car and took a drive out to Fremont. We took in some of the sites and had a nice lunch. Zoe took a little nap on Cheryl once we made it to Gas Works Park. Here are some of the pictures.



When we got back home, Zoe and Annabelle hung out for a bit on the couch with John. They didn't do much interacting this first day together, but at least no fights broke out. In fact, in the one picture, it actually looks like both John and Zoe are tickling Annabelle.



So that was our first full day in Seattle. You can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's set on Flickr.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Riding Together for the First Time

Today my bike was finally fixed, so I picked it up from the shop before picking Zoe up from Science Club. When she saw my bike she was very excited to go for a ride. It was overcast all day, but the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening, so we rushed home, she finished all her homework, and I loaded her bike onto the car. I packed a bag with some water and a couple snacks and we made our way to Lorimer Park. Before we took off down the trail, I wanted to take a selfie, but I was so excited that I forgot my helmet, so there are two selfies. As soon as I finished the picture she took off down the path. Fortunately I was able to catch up, phone in hand, to take a few pictures as we cruised down the trail. I am a mostly competent bike rider, but trying to pay attention to her, and the trail, and keep myself upright while holding my phone was tricky. So, I decided to take some video where, for the most part, I could rest my hand on the handlebars. She is so good a...

Baby Shower

Today the family was headed to George and Amanda's baby shower. Before we even got ready, I was playing with Zoe in bed. She was just sitting on my stomach, staring at her feet and drooling. Here are a few pictures. After play time, we had to get ready to head out. Zoe wore a nice dress, even if it was a little big on her. I took a picture of her in it before we left, then a bunch more of her while we were outside. Take a look and Zoe and Cheryl together. They're so cute! Those two are so gorgeous on their own that they become simply stunning when put together. I just can't get enough. Anyway, if you take a look at all of these, and more, in Zoe's set on Flickr, you can see all of the detail in the drool. It's really quite amazing.
