We’re in the middle of a Portland-area heat wave, so we went to a splash pad yesterday…with a view of the tram! Can you spot it?




Then when we got home, Papa made me laugh with his funny faces.

Nana and Papa are in town to celebrate the Daddy/Auntie Lisa/Mommy birthday extravaganza. Soooo…of course…I convinced them to take me to Bricks and Minifigs.

Then my excitement about being in my favorite store on earth switched to the disappointment in knowing I couldn’t take every set home with me.

But then I got the fire helicopter and all was good in the world again. Thanks, Nana and Papa!

In honor of the birthday boy – Daddy! – we went out to eat at a sushi restaurant.


All restaurants should have conveyer belts that bring food past your table.

I’m starting to warm up to this whole “wearing underwear / not being totally nudie” thing.


For Father’s Day, we went to the Oswego Hills Vineyard & Winery down the road from our house. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun!

But after a couple of glasses, I had to cast a disapproving look…

Just kidding, Daddy! Happy Father’s Day!

LEGOLab is on break again this Saturday, so Mommy and I headed up to Portland for their monthly Legos @ The Library shindig. Come back, LEGOLab!



I’d been stressing about going to the dentist all week. Waiting in the chair for him to arrive wasn’t too fun.

But Dr. James (fellow airplane fanatic, by the way) told me my teeth look awesome. It looks like eating all that ice cream for breakfast is doing me well! After my clean bill of health, it was time to play in the waiting room. (I was too nervous to play before my appointment.)


Here are some of my latest LEGO designs.



I am having a feeding session with my therapist, Miss Christine.
We are working on a gargling exercise. She gargles to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”
She wants me to try and asks what song I like.
I think for a few seconds.
Me: (singing) Kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s.
It’s not reality.
Just someone else’s sentimentality.
Kids! The 70’s!
Kids! The 70’s!
Miss Christine just stares at me for a while before laughing.
Over the weekend, we went to Portland for brunch.
Daddy was so hungry, he tried to eat my head.

I was tasked with the important job of putting Daddy’s creamer in his coffee.

I did great!

Then we decided to point at our breakfast burritos.

Brunch ended with some riveting conversation, probably about LEGO…

…or airplanes.

Then I was left to pay the bill, as usual.
