Deliciousness...kind of.

Owen had his first real experience with solid food yesterday. We missed the really good faces, but here's our documentation:

Happy Father's Day

Owen loves his dad. I love Owen's dad. I'm grateful for all the fathers in my life, and love them. Most especially I'm grateful for Casey, the best husband and father to my children I could ever ask for.

Gratitude

I am grateful for my eyes that allow me to see this beautiful face every day. Today I realized how much joy I derive from all the things Owen does, that I couldn't experience if I weren't able to see. So there it is

I'm grateful for sight.

(Thank you Grandma Griffith for the beautiful quilt!)

One Short Day...

While visiting Casey's parents, we had a fun-filled day in Seattle.

It started off at Ivar's for fish and chips. There's nothing like Seattle fish and chips.

We fed french fries to the seagulls. Here's a sweet action shot.

I feel like only in a big city like Seattle would you see zebra and argyle in the same outfit.

Next we went for a walk, heading for Pike Place market.

We took the stairs.
We found a great little gelato place that had pretty sweet flavors like rhubarb and chocolate orange chip. So good.

Then we ended the day at the gas works park. All in all a wonderful day. We love Seattle. Thanks Dad for showing us a good time.

Owen made a friend

We apologize for the recent slump in blogging. Things have been a little crazy. So, we'll try to slowly update on the last month and a half, starting from the present and working backwards.

Yesterday we were playing with Owen, and I thought it would be fun to introduce him to our stuffed dog that we got when we got engaged, lovingly referred to as "Bolt the Love Puppy". He and Owen hit it off right away, and I'm sure they'll be forever friends.

Fun Puzzle

So, I was up way too late with Owen last night letting Katalyn get some sleep, and I found this puzzle online. It took me about 30 minutes to figure it out, but if you get it right away, it was the middle of the night, so cut me some slack. Anyway, good luck...

A certain computer scientist has designed a remarkable machine which gives a correct answer to any yes no question typed into it via its keyboard. The machine answers by flashing a blue or a yellow light, one of the colors signifing "yes", the other "no". The machines come with no instructions nor are the lights labeled. Worse, a given machine in stores now has equal probability of having been manufactured in either China or Malaysia, and it is known that the two different countries have selected opposite conventions for which color means yes, but it is not at present known which country signified yes by blue, and which signified yes by yellow. You have just unpacked a machine, plugged it in, and turned it on. Each of the choices below is a separate question. In other words, in answering (d), assume you have not tried any of the questions appropriate for (a), (b), (c) - in other words, assume in each case you are going to ask only one specific question, and have asked no questions previously. (a) What one yes/no question could you ask the machine which would allow you to determine whether it was made in China or Malaysia? (b) Suppose instead of wanting to know which country your specific machine was manufactured in, you just want to know whether it was the Chinese or Malaysian machine that means "yes" by blue. What single yes/no question could you ask your machine to determine this? (c) Suppose all you want to know is, for your specific machine, which color means "yes" and which color means "no" (d) What yes/no question is such that the machine, no matter what country it is manufactured in, is bound to answer by flashing yellow?
