On Saturday, Christi and Pat hosted a brunch and our other Seattle friends joined us. There was Dave, Kara and Audrey and Brian and Jennifer in attendance. It was great seeing everybody and John and Henry were especially thrilled to have so many playmates at one time.

Kara and Dave brought Easter egg balloons for all of the kids.

Henry wielded his like a magic wand.

Dave searches for water using John as a divining rod.

Jen referees dueling doodling. Say that three times fast.

Brian oversees a game of dominoes.

I saw a lot of this at the Craft Brewers Conference, which was in Seattle last week, so I thought this made sense for the week’s words of wisdom.

While I was in Seattle last week for five days for the Craft Brewers Conference, I stayed with my good friends, Christi and Pat. It worked out spectacularly for me and hopefully I wasn’t in the way too much while I was there. It was great seeing John and Henry everyday and that helped give me a baby fix each morning which kept me going all day long.

Christi and Pat.
