Tiz n' Uncle Andrew

This is a great shot of Tiz with her Uncle. I think they're enthralled by the bingo caller...

sleddin'

We all had fun on the snowmobiles, but Mom was hilarious. At first she was a little nervous...

... then she got into it...

... then she was unstoppable!

Kim and I had fun too... here she is trying to catch me... Good Luck!

northwoods adventure

We needed a little break after the crazy holidays, so we decided on a northwoods adventure with my family to Brainerd, Minnesota. We rented this little cabin on Gull Lake, loaded up my sister and brother-in-law's snowmobiles, piled on as many layers of clothes as we could and headed north.

Here's a nice shot of Kristin and Andrew on the ice.

Of course, mom was just happy to hold the baby...

Tiz is back

Dust the cobwebs off her url, cause Tiz is back and ready to charm! Here she is drawing - a skill she just picked up in the last week or so. Her other talents inlclude singing (she has an extensive vocabulary), running behind a little plastic car Mom & Dad got her (she's not quite walking on her own yet) and playing the piano. As you can see, she's also been working on a mouthful of teeth. There's another film in the works, so I will hopefully have it up in the next week or two.


Besides loving this little girl so much we can't stand it, our world is mostly status quo. We have abandoned our building project... turned out to be too much of a project for new parents. We'll be working on some new growth strategies for Moveable Feast in the coming months, so who knows what the year will bring.


Hope everyone is well. Post a comment to say hello! All the best for the New Year from Tiz, Kim & Me!

Ten Month Tiz

Here is my directorial debut. We got a video camera just before Tiz was born and I've been taking footage here and there since. My brother-in-law Nathan is a photo teacher and a video wiz. He talked me through the basics of editing and how to embed a video on the blog (Thanks, Nathan!). This is a little montage of life with Tiz at around ten months old. Excuse the cliche G n' R on the soundtrack... I just couldn't resist.

bathing beauty, part deux

In anticipation of her career as a pro windsurfer, Tiz has spent a lot of time this summer getting acclimated to water. Here she is floating and giggling over at Elaine and Joel's.

goin' back to Cali

Tiz was in California last July, but since she was still in the womb the golden state missed out on a lot of her charm and charisma, so we decided to bring her back for an encore. We flew into Oakland then drove up to Napa, where our friends Mitch & April live. It was a great few days visiting with them and enjoying some amazing food and wine. Here are the highlights...

After our long flight the first thing we needed to do was eat. We raced to Berkley and arrived just in time to be seated at Chez Panisse before they stopped serving lunch.


After lunch we strolled around Berkley for a bit and stopped at this flower shop to get a bouquet for April. The flowers were pretty and Tiz fits right in, wouldn't you say?


Once we arrived in Napa it was time for a little relaxing in the hot tub... Could we get some Crystal over here, please?


On Saturday we took Tiz to the shore so she could dip her toes in the mighty Pacific. We played in the waves for a bit and walked along the beach. Only as we were leaving did we spot the sign warning of a recent great white shark attack... oops. But what can we say, shark attack was definately not covered in our infant care class.

Back on terra firma Tiz posed for this cute shot entitled Sandy Toes.
