"really-so-big-high-in-the-sky" = the velocity and height requirements for proper swinging in the swings at the park.
"our flamily" = Mommy, Daddy, and Micah as represented by Mr. Potato Heads. You've got it-- there are two large ones and a "spud." He caught on right away and now addresses the potato heads by name: "Daddy mis tatohead," etc.
"spreckles" = freckles, moles, blemishes, or other boo-boos that need to be kissed. At least we've upgraded from "skarkles."
He's really getting the hang of his letters and now points out the letters on signs, shirts, or posters in order, one by one! Tonight he started playing hide and seek with a little bear--I would hide the bear somewhere in the room, he would actually count to 10, then go find the bear. Sometimes he would reach ten, then skip to 14, then 16. But who's counting?
We've had a great week getting back in the swing of things after the trip. Even starting to pack up the house a little bit. This is Ski-to-Sea weekend, so tomorrow is the big parade through town. Our church is a block from the parade route, so we are doing a hot-dog handout in our parking lot with a bounce house for the kids. (If you're reading this from somewhere outside Bellingham, Ski-to-Sea is a big race on the Sunday of every Memorial Day Weekend that people come from around the world to participate. It highlights the fact that you can go from a mountaintop to ocean water in 90 miles here. It involves teams with 7 legs: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, running, road biking, canoeing, mountain biking, and sea kayaking.) Last year we handed out 400 hot dogs, so it should be fun tomorrrow!

Eat a hot dog for us!
That is so cute. I love the "really-so-big-high-in-the-sky." Sometimes "higher!" just doesn't cut it.
Hope that Ski to Sea was fun this year!
