Xander and Clare

More photos from the day after Xander lost his
first front tooth.

The other front tooth is still hanging on by a thread.

Being silly at Fred Meyer.

Xander relaxing in the shade on our first hot day of the year.

The kids broke out their summer sun umbrellas.

And were very excited about pretending to eat dinner outside.

Voila! Dining al fresco.

Clare drew her first photo of something recognizable the other morning.

"It's a pig, Mama"
(Though it also looks like the spider she saw in her room that morning.)

Meowy and Catty came with us to Clare's 3-year well-check.
First time with no tears! She wasn't happy about it,
but she did it!

Swinging on the "big kid" swing during Xander's
baseball game on Saturday.

Our friend Patrice stopped by Saturday afternoon with a big bag
full of Mariners memorabilia for Xander. He couldn't believe his luck.

There were baseball cards, a team photograph, a Mariners Moose
photo, a Felix Hernandez poster, and two Ichiro bobblehead dolls.

Watching  baseball together on Sunday morning.

Using his new baseball cards to play a pretend baseball game.

"Players" in the "dugout."

Reading Xander's Mariners magazine.

Yet another night spent sleeping in a goofy position.
