Photos of the Week: February 15

Posted in Photo of the weekTagged

“The scariest moment is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better.” – Stephen King

In honor of Valentine’s Day, here are some of the pairs in our neighborhood.

We went to the local pub to watch the second half of the Super Bowl. Shirley Temples (for them), wine (for me), Foos ball, and french fries – it was a win all the way around!

We were all hyped up on sports. So we came home and turned on The Mighty Ducks (Disney hockey movie from 1992). It inspired all sorts of play this week.

Miss O had to have two teeth extracted. I was struck at how similar the picture looked from when Cooper tried to steal the carrot off a snowman earlier in the week. Family resemblance, I guess! 😉

We played at a really cool playground in Seattle Center

To get to the slides and walkways, you had to climb cargo nets. There was one that went straight up like a ladder but five-year-old Mr. D didn’t want to go that way. So he tried the cargo nets but it required some big steps. I climbed up alongside him and helped only on the last step.

The next time, he did it all by himself (see his feet disappearing in the first picture of the set). The amount of well-earned pride he felt was delightful and infectious.

Cooper at school with the kids channeled that same sense of smugness. As does the sign of the week!

  7. Pretty soon you and Miss O will be mistaken for sisters. Not Mr D, unless it is a gray foggy day on top of a mountain from miles away.

  8. I hope Miss O is feeling better after her dental work! How did she handle the recovery? I imagine it must have been quite a challenge for her. Looking forward to hearing more!

  13. Hard to pick a fave this week…are you doing that on purpose? I’m leaning toward Cooper’s expression — so fabulous. Can you bottle that feeling and distribute widely? I think there’s a market for his brand of joy! 😜

  15. I couldn’t love these more. They’re growing up so fast. i know you know this but watching from the outside in, I see it so clearly. What a beautiful family and through the years of posts and images I feel like I’m a part of it. Isn’t that something? Hugs, C

      1. Yes, it’s pretty cool. I have never been to the Experience Music Project. Whenever I visit Washington, I end up on the East side. My college best friend and my brother are both there. I don’t think they venture into Seattle very often.

  23. What an exciting week from the Super Bowl to Valentine’s Day all in a week! Your photos bring smiles to my face, Mr. D climbing looks fun, you were brave to follow along. Keep making those days count, you are nailing parenthood!

  24. That is a very cool playground, Wynne. It’s nice that you have so many great amenities in your city!

    Mighty Ducks is a classic and so nice to be able to share it with a new generation!

    Hope you three are enjoying your long weekend! Snowstorm over here. 😆

  25. Wynne, your side-by-side pics of Miss O and Cooper remind me of an artist called ArtButMakeItSports. They take sports photos and match them with works of art that have similar poses, compositions, etc. They are very clever, and provide an interesting view of the world through different lenses. Thought you might enjoy seeing that.
