Rachel and Dylan

These two are from yesterday at the zoo. I just like Dylan's faces.

My boys

The boys and I stopped by Farbach-Werner this afternoon for a quick photo shoot. Matthew was perfect:

I have many more just as good as these.

Dylan just wanted to play in the mud. He did climb the fence a few times, but otherwise didn't even stop to look at me:

He did look up when I said "smile!"

But then was back on the fence:

I love these guys!

When you give Dylan a phone...

I lock my phone so the kids can't get on whenever they want, but the camera is still accessible. Here's what I found tonight. Yep, 18 of em, with a few as videos just to mix things up. Thanks Dylan.

Pinewood Derby

The pinewood derby was a few weeks back and both Matthew and Alessia got to enter cars, though neither is officially a Cub Scout, so they were in the "open" class. This of course meant that I was a little more involved than I might have been if Matthew were actually a scout, and so I had some fun. The designs were the kids', but I did the cutting and shaping. They both had to sand for an hour (by hand!) but then I finished them up with the electric sander. I painted them as well, since it was last minute and the only time I had was at night. Alessia's car is the purple streak in the second track picture. Matthew's is the green streak in the first. Notice they are both winning. In fact, Matthew never lost a heat- undisputed fastest car. You can see how happy he was about that- we tried five time to take this picture and this is as still as he got! All in all, lots of fun.

From the phone...

I downloaded the blogger app for my phone and thought I would try it out. I will take some with my real cameras too, but here's one of Dylan from the phone.

A Return

Since I've dropped Facebook, I will be posting pictures more regularly. Here are some iPhone images from New Year's Day.

Source Sans Pro

I'm trying a new font, Source Sans Pro. It's open source from Adobe. For those of you interested in typography, check it out here.
