So we got this “friendly reminder” in the mail the other day and when I read it to Ethan, we both laughed, so I had to share. (more…)
We spent 4th of July with Ethan’s family. The kids were in bathing suits most the time with rosey cheeks and sleepless eyes. Nana blew bubbles with the kids (a favorite activity) and I had to share these videos of Neela and Roli in action… (more…)
Tuesday, I was having a hard day (sorry again Ethan) and I was in that “Who gives a flying leap about anything anyway?” kind of attitude. Ethan, knowing how much I need music, took me to see White Rabbits play. We got a sitter early so we could go get some drinking chocolate before the show. Turns out, that doesnt take 2 hours to do. So after chocolate and before music, we walked. (more…)
Just in case you were wondering…. (more…)
It dawned on me two days ago that I haven’t updated in quite a long time. I am choosing to blame this lack of action on my facebook account. So, I am going to be dramatic and take a long leave of absence from facebook. In celebration, I will be updating here once a day for the next week. To start off this event, is this….. (more…)
Before she left for southern California yesterday, I gave this to Carol:
Sugarbob,
You are gorgeous. On Saturday, May 30th, I’m going to prove it to you. On that day, we are going to meet Ryan in the Pearl with a single purpose: no matter how long it takes, we are going to get at least one picture in which you can see your own beauty. We will be kid-free.My gift is to show you the way I see you (at least a little). You are my favorite.
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.

Here’s a link to the You Look Nice Today Photography website.
We finally recorded Elliott’s listening to his favorite song (in this case, watching the video).
It should be noted that Elliott managed to pull this off without our help. He loves this song and listens to it over and over again.
With all of our computer problems, we haven’t been able to show off our beautiful children. But today we got some shots that were just too good to leave trapped on the camera.
And, yes, we have TONS of video from playtime in the mud.
I had an extremely vivid dream last night.
It was a dream about Carol and my wedding, though not our real one. Instead of the temple, we were in a park which was against a lake. It’s not a park that I’ve ever been to, but felt like a combination of Caldwell Park in Redding, Laurelhurst Park in Portland, and the park near my parents’ house in Battle Ground. It was springtime and everything was vividly colored: green grass and trees, blue sky and water, and flowers of every color. The trees (mostly deciduous, but with many evergreens) were extremely tall and offered a great mixture of shade and streaming sunlight.
A boat load of pictures coming atcha…BOO YUH!! Today is #1…. (Why, yes! I am writing this at 12:30 a.m….. what gave it away?)
