Gone Domestic

What’s for Lunch?

Me: Burgers* and oranges.
E: Mmmmmmm. I love oranjuices!

For a while now I’ve been keeping a list of things that E consistently mispronounces. Other foods that are on the list? “Burdito,” “adocado,” and “paincakes.”

Let the paincake jokes begin.

(*We make our burgers with quinoa and sunflower seeds. They’re pretty bomb.)

This little boy of ours started preschool this fall. This picture was taken on his very first day. He was so excited we could hardly get him to stand still.

E: Eating.

Summer Vacation :: Close Enough for Me

WWII Memorial on The National Mall

It is officially unofficially summer. Let’s get on with enjoying it already.

I’m bringing back the Summer Vacation series. I call it that because it sounds better than “I’m too lazy for actual posting so I’m going to put up pictures of stuff.”

The historic Hatton Ferry, Scottsville, VA

It’s going to be an awesome summer.

The Return of Photo Shoot Tuesday

Eve — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:05:40 +0000

In September 2008 Cheeks and I started taking pictures photo shoot style. Over the course of ten months we did ten “sessions” where I took pictures of him (and sometimes Frankie). There was always at least one of him sitting on the sofa in the picture above, and then a number of him in some kind of other setting. I published my 15 favorite pictures from each of nine of those sessions (you can relive the fun here), but I never published the tenth and final set of pictures taken the week before his first birthday. With his first birthday party quickly approaching I never found the time to put them together.

All 150 of those pictures have just been sitting around in my iPhoto, so I did something about it. I went through the 15 pictures from each of the ten sets and selected the ten pictures that I liked the most, one sofa picture and nine others, and made a book: Photo Shoot Tuesdays: a photographic chronicle

Virginia, you love personalized plates. Fortunately, your two hour morning commute gives you plenty of time to think up something clever, or admire the wit of the person in front of you. Here are some of my favorites:
