Today is Gavin’s first day of Kindergarten.

We got pictures taken of G for school last week after we got back from California… photography by Blackburn Studio The photographer is actually an OC parent and his son will be in G’s class so he offered to do the shoot for free.

We’re busy catching up after our week-long trek to California, in particular Pescadero and Butano State Park.  In the midst of all this catching up with work and other things, we’re also getting ready for Gavin to start kindergarten next week! Nevertheless, we took lots of pics on our trip and thought we should post […]

i haven’t been doing the best job of posting pics up here, i know.  i realize this as the most recent pics are from g’s graduation, now almost 3 months gone.  that said, i have been keeping things updated on flickr, so you can check out the latest pics (sans witticisms) there (presuming you are […]

today was gavin’s graduation from preschool!  we thought we’d take this opportunity to let gavin know just how happy we are: gavin– we are so very proud of all you’ve done this year in your very first year in school.  we were nervous; we didn’t know what to expect or how good (or bad) your […]

we found a neat hike up the mountains a few weeks back.  it was beautiful, but of course we left the camera at home.  we went back over the weekend, this time bringing the camera.  gavin, of course, was busily hunting for new additions for his rock collection. you can see more pics from our […]

grandma & grandpa R came to visit the kids (and, presumably, us too) from California.  we had lots of fun adventures like going to red butte garden (gavin was excited to show grandma and grandpa around), the clark planetarium and the living planet aquarium.  gavin was especially excited about grandpa’s new car, complete with sun […]

gavin and lilah have been playing a lot more together for longer periods of time.  i snapped these pics when they were being particularly cute together one evening during dinner.

we took a long road trip with g-ma & g-pa to moscow, idaho to see the kids’ great-grandparents there.  it was a two-day drive and the kids were wiped but we were glad we split the drive up rather than try the 11-12 hour trek in one go.  the kids had a good time hanging […]

i took a lot of pics on easter.  here are some of our favorites…

the kids have been working on their faces i don’t remember what this was supposed to be, but what it actually is is gavin saying okay mom and dad, that’s enough now similarly, i think this was intended to be grumpy but came across more confused…

as per usual, the kids have been sick.  so imagine my surprise last night when, rather than unhappy wailing, i suddenly heard rambunctious giggling and laughter from the other room the kids were exchanging tickets (puzzle pieces) for a chance to ride on the slide (large armchair) this was being done as a solo activity […]
