Since Gael missed a preschool gradutation, the YMCA had them make little hats and gave them diplomas. We went out for froyo afterwards. The nice lady asked him what flavor of ice cream he wanted and without missing a beat he said "All of them". We settled on cake batter, chocolate and strawberry. Topped with sprinkles.

The rules of the ice cream bowl right now are as follows:

1. We take turns taking spoonfuls out of it

2. There is a maximum scoop size (defined by Gael getting brain-freeze)

3. Daddy needs to share the sprinkles

Two weeks in Oregon and let me tell you...it was GOOD. Warm light, open firepits, more meals/treats than I can count. I gained 12 pounds in 14 days.

Back in Seattle. Exercising, reading, writing and wandering around the city. Weather could not be more perfect. Life is wonderful.

Cowabunga dude,
