Kate is into her aforementioned script a few days. Don’t ask me how many; I’ve already lost count.
We’ve forgotten a few doses. All but the first have required two people: one holding her down and the other forcing medicine down her throat. This method has a roughly 50% success rate at getting [...]

Just a quick update for those who are bugging Paul for weekend pictures. These are from early on in the weekend. He accomplished a Herculean amount of work because I took the kids to another city. I offered to continue with that help by coming back this afternoon… puts a crunch [...]

Something has got to be screwed up when Al Gore can get a Nobel Peace Prize and this phenomenal guy holds a job with sucky benefits probably making less in a year than Gore gets from one speaking engagement. Yet, who is the one doing the work of making the world a more peaceful [...]

While petunias have been a favorite for years, this year brings a new obsession… this shade of pink.

Here is the commercial airing on Channel 26 with the photography I did for our friends at La Divina… complete with pictures of the kids enjoying seriously delicious panini and gelato!

We didn’t participate in any of the many, many, many Easter events all over the city this past weekend. (The kids had their Rainbow Chicken Egg Hunt on the levee on Thursday and saw the Easter Bunny at two grocery stores during the weekend, I figure that counts?) Mostly, because I didn’t want [...]

… stresses me out.
I’ve been avoiding the fact that I still don’t have a voice recorder. I have IRB… but don’t have a recording device. Today was a research day…. gear research. It feels indulgent.
