Ryan is learning to use a spoon to feed himself... with mixed results.
Big thanks to my wife Carolyn for her outstanding work on our annual Father's Day picture. Here's the side by side with last year for a comparison.
Wedding season is almost here and I can't wait to blog all of the fabulous weddings I'll witness this year. In the meantime, here are some fun personal pics from our brief visit with friends and family in Seattle and Portland a few weeks ago. Ryan got to visit lots of kids on our trip and had a great time playing with everyone else's toys. It's always great to see our West Coast friends, and we wish we could visit more often.So much changes between our visits, so I have to make sure I document them well!

The moon bounce was a huge hit...
The money shot. But I think I'd have better chances of winning the lottery three times in a row than getting six kids to look at the camera in the same shot.
The only way to get the group shot was with popsicle bribery...

Here are some recent pictures of Ryan. He continues to amaze us with his daily discoveries, new words and new feats of daring.
Kids these days, always texting...
This one is a bit of an homage to an homage. Check out Doug Boutwell's last picture in this post for the inspiration behind the processing of this image. I love the stark white background.
