Hungry Ern

Nothing that notable happened today. Ernie was looking extra cute though. I think we had good lighting.

John, Lydia, Ringo Starr, & His All-Starr Band

I'm not going to lie, part of the reason I wanted to see Ringo Starr live was that we recently saw Paul McCartney and I wanted to complete my living Beatle collection.

Ernie had a meal and then Aunt Zoe watched him while we headed to Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in  Woodinville for the show. Aunt Zozo is staying with us all month to help out, hang, and mostly be severely jealous that she eventually has to go back to St. Louis.

I thought we got decent seats considering we rolled in pretty late and it was a first-come-first-serve type situation. I knew Ringo had a few Beatles bangers, including lead vocals on "Yellow Submarine." I would have been happy with those songs and some whatever filler. Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, though, actually had some real musicians in it from other classic bands that I've heard of. They played some of their own hits which was very cool. For example, Edgar Winter from the Edgar Winter Group helped them play "Free Ride", Steve Lukather from Toto played "Africa".

Having all of those other guys up there with him did lend a bit of mystery as to exactly what the hell they were going to play next. Ringo thought that was funny as well apparently.

Someone had this baby sitting in the parking lot.

Big boy just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

The Many Faces of Ern

I may have an Ernie picture problem. He's just kind of a cute subject.

Mochi Donuts

Today we checked out Moge Tee in University District.

This place was pretty magical because it had both bubble tea and mochi donuts.

I have a pretty rad metal Motorola television sign that used to hang in my grandpa's garage. Ernie loves to stare at it all day because of the black and white contrast. He is also a big fan of staring at the blinds for the same reason.

Oh hello

We went over to see Sumit and Shubra's house for the first time. I bought over this weird jar of hawthorn fruits I got at a Mexican grocery store somewhere along the line.

They were weird.

Passport Photos

We've decided to not take Ernie Dawg on a flight before he gets his 2 month round of immunizations. In preparation for him trotting the globe we took him to AAA to get his passport photos taken.

He needed to be facing the camera head on but was fast asleep, not that he has the next control to hold his head up like that anyway. Luckily these people were geniuses and had a white towel that I could put my hands behind to hold up his head.

I thought it came out pretty well. It is pretty hilarious that he will be using this passport for 5 years with this little potato baby picture in it.
