Today we took them to a local outdoor shopping mall and they were so relentlessly touched and squealed at and fawned over. They also seem to grow a little bit in size overnight, every night.</p> <p>Just another reason I’m glad to be home.</p>http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/287272125http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/287272125Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:21:07 -0500<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuasm8VyRQ1qzoscno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/273512693http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/273512693Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:54:11 -0500<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku7h0qlvcN1qzoscno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/270967466http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/270967466Sat, 05 Dec 2009 19:50:54 -0500<img src="http://6.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku7gsyF1Nz1qzoscno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sunset in Seattle from the Space Needle</p>http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/270962157http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/270962157Sat, 05 Dec 2009 19:46:13 -0500<img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku5a6t4weL1qzoscno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Amazing brunch with Ran in her Seattle neighborhood</p>http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/269374080http://afternoondeelite.tumblr.com/post/269374080Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:28:08 -0500<img src="http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku38486Rkf1qzoscno1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Leaving NY today for a slightly cooler forecast in Seattle, but regardless!

The one to smell like sweat and anti-chaffing wax and have a big old number pinned to it.
