  • Scarlett’s idea of Spelunky

    Scarlett drew this back in September when the kids were playing a lot of Spelunky. It’s interesting to see which parts of the game imprinted on her mind.

  • Twin 3rd Birthday Portraits

    Twin 3rd Birthday Portraits

    Just as with the farm portraits, this year both kids were enthusiastic about the portraits. I was bracing for Sam to once again hate the idea of portraits, but his urge to do what his sisters were doing was stronger – or maybe he’s just over whatever he hated about it last year. I’m really…

  • 2018 Pumpkin Patch Portraits

    2018 Pumpkin Patch Portraits

    Another year and the kids grow older. Last year was a disaster – the twins did NOT want their photos taken. We didn’t get any good portraits. This time everyone was game and we got good portraits – at least the first time around. When we reconvened a little later, the kids were over the…

  • The Kids at the Park

    Funny thing about this is that I could say this reflects their moods, but really only Stella is being genuinely Stella. Usually you can’t catch Sam without a smile on his face (although he *is* going through the whiny 2 year old phase), and Scarlett’s the most neutral.

  • Scarlett’s recital

    Scarlett’s recital

    This year Scarlett did hip hop as her dance class and the instructor selected a Pink Ladies meets Hip Hop sort of outfit for the kids. Like last year I did a portrait session with Scarlett in her costume. Unlike last year, it actually came out nice this year. (Last year I rushed it and…

  • Mt. Vernon

    Mt. Vernon

    Danielle and I went to Mount Vernon back when we first moved here and were exploring new things to do in our free time that were unique to the area. We’d thought of bringing our parents to see Washington’s house and property, but the timing never quite worked out – you really want to visit…

  • Easter at the Farm

    Easter at the Farm

    This Easter we went to the farm so they kids could hunt for eggs there and then enjoy the farm. Unlike my childhood, Easter’s pretty cold up here as you can see. It’s pretty ridiculous to me, considering almost my entire childhood consisted of going to the local park. Stella’s been enjoying horseback riding for…

  • Scarlett 6 Year Old Portraits

    Holy Moly she keeps getting older and older!

  • Sam and Stella’s First Disney Trip

    Sam and Stella’s First Disney Trip

    Back in November we took the twins on their first trip to Disney. This time around Scarlett wasn’t as interested in the parades as she was last time, but the twins were REALLY into them. Surprisingly, both twins ended up warming up to the characters. Sam’s reluctance with Mickey on the first day made me…

  • Playing with Snow

    First substantial snow of the season happened in December and it was warm enough for the kids to go play outside. A few shots from that day:

  • A Fall Visit to the Farm

    A Fall Visit to the Farm

    Back in October, we went to the pumpkin patch to do our annual pumpkin patch portraits. Unfortunately, the twins were not amenable so we just did the other farm activities.

  • Halloween 2017

    Halloween 2017

    Jumping forward (I’m still generally working on photos from August because I’ve fallen behind with other responsibilities and playing some video games for Extra Life), we get to Halloween photos. Once again these awesome costumes were sewn by my mother-in-law.
