Lost tooth

Tru popped his first front tooth today. We talked about that, scrotums and pythons. You know, standard 6-year old stuff.

Tball hit

May 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Good tball game tonight. Took the following video with our new Flip. The first one is kinda pixelated because of the lame digital zoom. This camera requires that you zoom with your feet, not with the buttons, apparently. Non-zoomed video is awesome.
The second one is without zoom. Much nicer.

Kayak trip

April 9th, 2008 · No Comments

During Spring Break, Tru and I paddled down a couple of local rivers with Ron and Benjamin. It was fun–we stopped at an island and nabbed a geocache, and saw a dead coyote. Something for everyone!
Flickr takes video now, so here’s a little clip. You can see the whole set here. And here are the [...]

When mom’s away…

Amy went to the beach for a little retreat, so the boys and I are destroying holding down the fort. This evening, after gorging ourselves on pizza, Tru decided to show off his mad burping skillz. Asher eventually gets in on the act too…

No pictures, [...]

A family photowalk

January 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Amy had to teach this morning, so I had to figure out how to avoid the “housebound boy” syndrome (multiplied by three). Fortunately we all woke up late, then took our time savoring my lovingly handcrafted waffles made from scratch (without referring to a recipe, I might add). Then we leashed up Frodo, put Asher [...]

Tru finished up a 6-week wresting clinic last week. It was pretty much his first exposure to real wrestling and he loved it. Video below (click the picture to play).

Kiwis and skating!

October 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment

It’s Fall in the Pacific Northwest. Must be time for kiwis!
We live in wine country–vineyards everywhere around here. But kiwis grow on vines, too. There aren’t many kiwi growers nearby, but Amy’s folks led us up to where their friend Paul grow kiwis. What a beautiful place! And the kiwis are awesome!

Paul grows a couple [...]
