Aerial Views of the Great State of Washington (Video)

As Laura and I prepare to fly to Chicago this week, I’d like to share a video I made from my flight a week ago to Seattle from Maryland. This is a short video showing some of the views of Washington State as we fly east to west and land at Seattle-Tacoma airport. There are […]

You’ve lived in how many homes in the last decade?

We have history of moving. A lot! Ever since we left our childhood homes in San Jose, California (Brett) and Newberg, Oregon (Laura), we’ve moved frequently for a variety of reasons. Job. Change of scenery. School. Most moves have been our decision, though, we’ve been more enthusiastic about some more than others. So exactly how […]

Seattle Ice Cream Cruise

Ice cream, boats, killer weather, and beautiful views of Seattle? Sounds like an opportunity we didn’t want to pass on. About two months ago, we read in the Seattle Times about Captain Larry Kezner and his Sunday Ice Cream Cruise on Lake Union. We kept thinking about it but never acted on it. With the […]

Ethan’s 3rd Birthday Weekend Festivities

I’m done with Facebook

It sounds a little pathetic, but I’m done with Facebook. I deleted my account today. A few asked why I was going to do it, perhaps thinking that there was something wrong. I’m not sure if there was something wrong, as there was my priorities needed to shift. The reality was that I loved surfing […]

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Ethan finally nails it. We’d been trying to get him to sing to an accompanying piano and the little guy got it. I’m proud of the little guy. Of course, we’ll keep on working with him.

8 Days of Autumn & 966 Days of Ethan

Our little girl is 8 days old. Ethan just passed his 966th day. Autumn is feeding extremely well and adjusting to life outside the womb. She is beginning to notice the blurry objects around her and cracks a smile or two every so often. Ethan is very curious about his sister and is constantly asking […]

Autumn – Days 2 to 4

Life has been a true joy with Autumn. We’ve had tremendous family support from near and far. As many of you know, when little ones arrive, support from family and friends make such a positive difference.
