Fisher's First Food

In December, after Fisher's taste buds had been allow to mature for a whole 6 months he got his first taste of a very fine entree of rice cereal.

Tasty Table

Our coffee table must be pretty delicious because as soon as as the boys start pulling up they spend a lot of time cruising around the table nibbling on the edges.

I know you aren't going to believe me...
But this is Henry, September 29th, 2006.

Southern Lights

Every year to kick off the holidays the Horse Park puts up an amazing light display. Aunt Kake, Henry and I went this year for the first time. It was all really impressive, but Henry's favorite (and I think ours too) was at the very beginning before we were really even in the park...because it was dark and we were in the car it was hard to take pictures but...


...they're getting in the gate...


AND THEY'RE OFF!


After the drive through the park there were all sorts of things to do. There were horses of course,


and a few little trains that Henry was pretty excited about.




Does this boy look like he was having a good time or what.

Henry's Photography

Maybe because I have spent most of Henry's life with a camera in front of my face I guess it is only natural that he has followed in my footsteps. He has learned how to use the camera on my iPhone, my 35mm with a little supervision and for Christmas Ommy and Poppy gave him his very own camera. I thought I'd post some of his creative work. These are all with my cameras...I'll post a gallery of his work with his very own camera a little later.

Fisher's BIG!

It is the little moments that I always seem to remember, and I'll always remember this one. Henry and I were in the bathroom when he looked over into my bedroom and said "FISHER'S BIG". I looked over to see that Fisher had pulled himself up to standing for the first time...and he was, big!

Family Update

In case you haven't heard, we got dealt a little challenge unexpectedly in our lives last week. Henry was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. He is handling it like a champ and we are so lucky to have such great friends and family that have sent us their support and good wishes. He can still be an NFL kicker or a neurosurgeon or almost whatever he wants to be, he'll just have to check his blood, count his carbs and receive insulin while he's doing it. We're adjusting and are going to be great.

Since Fisher really started moving around, crawling like a little speed demon and "cruising" the furniture with no effort (and making it all the way up the stairs by himself, eek!) and Henry has perfected being two it has been really difficult to find the downtime to update the blog. This blog is really important to us, as a means of communication with friends and family that we don't see often enough, and as a record for our family to look back on...so I promise I'll find a way to get it up to date, it is probably just going to take a little while. I miss blogging, it has been a really fun creative outlet that I look forward to...so, as the Governor of California once said "I'll be back".
