father's day

happy father's day to all dads out there. here are a few pictures from my fd weekend. jack yelled "happy mother's day" to me this morning, it's the thought that counts. after i had some coffee jack and i went out to water the flowers ... i was surprised to see a morning glory so i took a picture with my cell phone ... jack must have been watching me and heard the noice the phone makes because immediately after he started holding his cell phone (the one we gave him with no battery) over the flowers and making a camera sounds with his mouth ... hard to describe, but it cracked me up.

sunny saturday

took the kids to a nearby community park this weekend. it was a beautiful sunny saturday.

rugrats

tonight jack said he wanted to hold jenna on the couch ... we're very lucky he's really sweet to his little sister. after i took a few frames (about one minute) he sighed and said "all done." good thing i took a few frames while it lasted.

file photo

i found this goodie in my archive of photos from over the years. kim will have to verify this, but i think this is her picture of me when we spent an afternoon shooting illustrations in our studio at work for a story about motorcycle helmet laws ... right kimer?

new cell phone

my new cell phone has a camera, so now i'm cool like millions of other tech dorks. here's my first cell phone video.

happy birthday jack!

solid foods

jenna's been on solid foods for a couple of weeks. we started a little bit early 'cause she just would not sleep through the night. she likes her cereal and it instantly made a difference. mom and dad now get a full-night sleep (well most the time anyway) so, now were branching out into vegetables and, as you can see by the look on her face, this is going to take some work. even our over-enthusiastic "mmm, jenna squash is yummy" cheerleading didn't seem to help, she didn't much care for it ... but i seem to remember going through the same thing with jack. this age is a lot of work, but its also something new every day.
