bateaux mouches

On day two in Paris we decided to take a tour on one of the famous Bateaux Mouches boats that are a constant presence on the Seine. Kim and I had never been on one, so it seemed like a perfect way to give Tizzy an overview of the city.


She got to work right away documenting the journey in vivid digital glory.


There were too many photos to post them all, and each more spectacular than the last.


So here are just a couple favorites...

chocolat chaud

Tizzy enjoyed her first Paris chocolat chaud yesterday at Mondrian, which is the old Le Mandarin on St. Germain...










... No further caption needed, eh?

tiz the photographer

We got Tiz her own camera for this trip. She's shown some talent for composition in the past, so we thought we'd set her loose and see what images she captures in one of the world's most photogenic cities.


These are her shots from Luxembourg Gardens. "Fountain? What fountain? I'm taking pictures of myself..."


At least this one has a little shrubbery in the background...



And I got a tiny cameo here...



Then finally she relented and took a pretty decent portrait of Kim and I. So sorry... no flowers, fountains or palais for you tonight. Just us happy to be out in the world.

first pics from paris

Here are a couple quick shots from our first day in Paris. We were pretty jetlagged, but Tizzy rallied for a visit to the Eiffel Tower.
Considering the view from our rental apartment, it's amazing that we went out at all!

More to come...

Underwater Tiz

Facebook has really taken over the job done by the blog, so I won't apologize for the extended time between posts. Anyway, here is a quick video we did to test the new GoPro camera. Tiz showing off her watergirl skills...

fox river adventure

Elaine and Joel invited Tiz and me out to the river for an afternoon of wakeboarding last week. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast.

I won't bore you with any footage of me kooking out on the water, but here's a quick video of Dane hitting a back roll... the kid's got some skills!

Last night we saw Elton John and Billy Joel at Wrigley Field. What an amazing show! They played for almost 4 hours. Well worth the late night hangover we're feeling this morning.
