A Day at Emerald Lake
My friend (and former graduate student) Deidre is moving to North Carolina to start a Ph.D. program at NCSU, and her very gracious parents -- visiting from Kansas -- hosted a lovely good-bye party yesterday at Emerald Lake (AKA "Toad Lake"). Miles & I had a wonderful time, and the kiddo got lots of water time. Chuck & Seth joined us for awhile, and the boys had fun together:

Sigh, when will summer arrive?
Hello Blog Followers,
It's July 1st, and true to the Pacific Northwest, summer will hopefully make its presence known on July 5th. Seriously. June was pretty eventful for Miles and me, so I am grateful that July will mellow out somewhat. Emblematic of our month was a busy weekend...yesterday (Saturday), Miles, my mom, and I went to the Woodland Park Zoo (http://www.zoo.org/). As with our previous visits this year, it drizzled on us.
With the busy month and lots of visitors and activities, Miles has been a bit sleep-deprived. He fell asleep while waiting for dinner, at about 6:00 and I just let him sleep, which he did until 7:00 this morning! I think he really needed to sleep!
My mom (the intrepid naturalist-to-be), Miles, and I went on a low tide beach walk this morning on the Edmonds waterfront, where we saw amazing marine life. Miles mostly loved the sticks, but did really enjoy seeing the Sunflower Sea Star.
This afternoon, I brought Miles to his first major league baseball game. Ethan's beloved Red Sox were playing the Mariners, and had Ethan been alive, I'm sure we would have gone together, so it was important for me to bring Miles. We sat in "view seats" and Miles did great! We only sat for the first two innings, and then wandered around Safeco Field. The Red Sox and Mariners split the 4-game series.
