Rest

November 12, 2010

We don’t idle well. Most of our trips involve weeks of planning, bags full of gear and curious destinations. Even the weekend jaunts to Tahoe are an exercise in tactical recreation. But we love it. We take advantage of the time we have to explore. Since we’ve been together, I can remember few vacations that [...]

A Little Spring Hike – Short Film

August 22, 2010

The other day I was pulling some recent video off the camera and came across this hike we did sometime last spring. At the time, we thought the sour weather was a just a late-season squall passing through. So much for that theory. Nonetheless, I thought this was too cute not to share. It also [...]

We All Scream for Ice Cream

August 8, 2010

We take our ice cream pretty seriously around here. I’m a purist: vanilla, chocolate, a limited palette of toppings and stir-ins. In a dish; always in a dish. Jody thinks I’m boring.

My little girl can count to one. Starting at five, four, three, two… One of Autumn’s favorite books is Curious George and the Rocket. In this weighty tome George is selected to become the world’s first space monkey. The technical inaccuracies of the book will be forgiven considering its pre-Mercury publication date (1957). Of course, [...]

Thank you Easter Bunny

April 17, 2010

Tradition says to decorate the egg. But after the blue dye spilled all over Marley and Mason had Autumn covered in stickers, we decided decorating the kids was a helluva lot more fun. Easter was a full blown weekend affair with egg decorating on Saturday and Easter egg hunts on Sunday. By the second egg [...]

Christmas Time Lapse – Short Film

January 3, 2010

Last year was Autumn’s first Christmas. But at three months, I think the sights, sounds and smells of the season come off more like a heavy acid trip than a time of joy and celebration. This year she was aware of the celebration, and it was so much fun to include her in the ritual [...]
