Stoked

Abby and I scored some wetsuits at the Channel Islands sale this week. We're mainly stoked to not be cold after a long boogie boarding sesh...



We ARE having a lot of fun in the water too! She's getting pretty brave with the waves...even starting catching lil baby ones by herself yesterday.

Water Whiteys

We've been running to the water quite a bit here at the end of summer. In the last week, we've been to two Elmo Swim parties. One for Abby's Kindergarten class and one for my incoming third grade class. Abby is like a fish now, darting all through the water without any pleas for assistance. (Don't worry Gramma, we still keep a close eye on her!) Aaron has been loosening up as I hold him and splash around the pool.

Up next...Boogie Boarding! We bought Abby a board and a rashguard today. I'm shopping for some gear myself so I think I'll have some beach pix to share soon.

Thanks to Kristi Sestak, a talented parent with a rockin' camera, for sharing this pic of Aaron and I in the H2O...

Abby the Artist, Aaron the Builder

Ange has been back to work for over a week so I'm logging lots of fun with the kids. I'm trying to snap some pix while I'm at it. Abby loves to do art. Here's a recent creation...

"My really good art..."


She's proud of her work!


Aaron is really into Bob the Builder...well, at least the song! Here he is watching the intro and playing the theme song with Bob. He usually only lasts a few minutes into the show, then he's off to the next thing!

Nine Years

Angela and I have hit the nine year mark and I love her more than ever. We've had some great talks this week about how we are 100% enthusiastically committed to each other. She loves me through the highs and lows of life like no one can. I'm a very blessed man.

BONUS: She makes cute kids.

DOUBLE BONUS: She looks cute with a tele!

Zoo & Studio

Thanks to Brad for the spontaneous "Dad & kids" trip to the zoo. Good Times. Speaking of good times...

We spent a few days cleaning, painting and revamping Good Times Studio. Ange did a GREAT job on the painting! Here's a couple sneak peaks...



Here's my new workstation. Thank you Craigslist for the half price desk!



Here's the bold and unexpected dark blue wall. Hopefully it inspires some bold musical approaches!
