Drink Silk!
Continuing our tradition of product placement, here's one from Tristen's birthday breakfast. That's Amy drinking creamer in her coffee. :)

An infamous duo
Owen and Tristen have been hanging since they were in the infant room at Interlake. Happy birthday, Owen!
Birthday frisbee
Eric and Miles came up from Portland to help me celebrate 40! It was such a great weekend: a Saturday Coleman Pool swim, dinner out, Sunday morning frisbee in the park, afternoon mojitos...
In fact, thanks to all the great friends and family who helped me celebrate this milestone throughout the week. It was about as rockin' a time as a woman who is 8 months pregnant could handle!

Summer!
Finally, we're getting some sunny days. Last weekend, we met up with Gep, Elana, and Liam at the park.
It's hard to believe that Elana and Tristen are already (or almost!) 5!

Nine sticks of butter
Tristen and I had a blast making a super-decadent birthday cake for Bryan. Four layers of chocolate sour cream cake. With butter cream frosting, of course. We decorated the cake with farm animals and dandelion heads. Served in the relaxing atmosphere of Auntie Becca's Farm and Home for Wayward Animals and Friends.
Hey Bryan, we're super glad you were born!

Mother's Day 2011: cedar
This year I made my usual request: a day of family gardening! We did some cardboard mulching, planted seeds (late this year on account of cold, rainy weather!), and replaced our dead Japanese Maple with a weeping cedar. Let's hope the tree takes this year!
(Actually, we're calling it a "chilled out" cedar, because we don't like the depressing thought of a weeping tree.)
Tristen and I also made one of our butterfly pies. For the life of me, I couldn't find the damned rolling pin. Had to use a mason jar and teensy playdough roller to prepare the crust.

Eric Compas comes West
In early April, geographers from all over the world descended upon Seattle for a week-long conference. We were lucky enough to get Eric out a few days early.
He and Chris took the baidarkas for a spin. I'll let Chris tell his story about showing Eric the ropes in navigating the Montlake Cut.
We had such a great weekend. But next time, we're hoping to get Lori, Tom, and Anna, too!
