I drove Amanda to Swedish in the morning so that she could round. Then the Kai and I went to the aquarium.
The aquarium visit was not successful, so I had to abort. We then wandered about until Amanda called, and we picked her up.

After lunch I napped with the Kai while Amanda finished charting. It had been a rough night with Kai.

After nap we went the garden. At some point Amanda and the Kai went to get ice cream cones.

We later went down to Lake Washington and met up with MC and progenies (AC was home sleeping). Everyone got wet except for Amanda. We had takeout pizza from Flying Squirrel for dinner.

LK is now asleep and hopefully will remain that way until tomorrow morning. Amanda is sleeping, too. Unfortunately, there definitely is a laboring patient, so she will be going in tonight/very early tomorrow.

It’s hot even though it is almost midnight. Amanda is on call this weekend, so she is sleeping while she can. Hopefully she will not get called in for a delivery.

Today was the Kai’s last day in the “waddler” room at school (approximately 12-24 months). There had not been an opening in the next room until now. He selected a bunch of presents for his teachers yesterday, but ended up trying to give them to his soon-to-be-former classmates. It was a sweaty walk to school and back to retrieve him, especially since he did not want to walk himself.

The kitties do not like the hot weather and just lay about trying to keep cool. On the positive side of things, it is also too hot for them to fight.

The tomatoes are doing great with the heat wave and all. We are getting overrun by lettuce even though we are eating lots. We have also been eating a lot of peas, but I think I will pull them in another week. Our fennel is crowding out the brussel spouts; I have to do something about that. might have to harvest the potatoes very soon.
I bicycled to Mekong Rainier (a Vietnamese/SE Asian grocery) to get cheap groceries. OK, I could have walked but bicycling was more fun. Lots of people were buying huge quantities of fish… is there some fishy holiday this weekend that I don’t know about? Maybe it was just on sale.

I do not know what tomorrow holds. Amanda will have to go in to round at Swedish which will probably take all morning. I think I will go in with her and just walk about downtown with the Kai.

I have gotten out of the habit of writing in the weblog, but as usual I want to change that. Maybe this entry will do the trick.

After a very cool spring and early summer, there is a veritable heat wave in Seattle right now. It’s too hot to work in the office, especially when the sun starts pouring in through the windows in the afternoon.
We have been looking for another house, but finding one is proving problematic. People seriously want too much for their places.

Amanda and I went to dinner at Verve for our anniversary. We did not have a babysitter so we took the Kai with us. It was stressful with him, but not as bad as it could have been. We had a nice wine from WillaKenzie Estate; we have been there and one of the owner’s daughters lived at the Cramm (though not when either Amanda or I lived there).

Amanda had a crazy spa treatment on July 4th, so I took the Kai to the zoo for the first time in a while. We met MC and kiddies there.

Amanda went off to find presents for LK’s teachers as he is moving to a different classroom next week. When it finally gets too hot, I will go out and do some gardening.
