Marty's Travels

My house has wheels

Ada Eads

She was born yesterday, weighed in (or is it out?) at 8 1/2 pounds. Kate and Matt are doing well, though Kate looked a little tired to me today. Ada seems to be running on all cylinders: eat, sleep, cry, repeat. She has pretty hair, kinda like a strawberry blond.

So it was a nice trip into downtown Seattle today, my first since arriving. There’s a lot of construction work, a lot of fancy new buildings, and the streets are messed up. I was struck by how many people walk around staring at their smartphones.

As I got off the ferry I smelled the Asian food in the air, much like San Francisco. Nice. I’ll be going back frequently to partake at my favorite places this summer.

Kate and Ada should be going home tomorrow. Ada’s big brother Lachlan (he’s two) seems to be on board because he got a hot wheels from his new sister as a gift.

So, all are fine in Seattle.
