    It didn’t exactly go as planned. But, whatev. I was so stressed about this race that I had bad dreams all night, the night before, about not being able to find the starting line, about Reagan making secret breakfast plans that made me miss the starting gun, etc.. I’m not sure why I was so…

    I’m starting to get the jitters, big time for the race on Saturday. So, to distract myself, I thought that I would post a couple of photos of our new apartment. Yeah, we were tired of the walk up and all of our old crappy furniture, so we moved into this place. Psyche! These images…

    There comes a time in most uncle’s lives, when they basically don’t think that they could be any prouder of their little nieces and nephews. Right about that time, one of them picks up a skateboard, and starts shredding before they even make it into kindergarten. For me, that moment happened this weekend, when I…

    I don’t mean to brag, but, in my very biased opinion, I seriously have some of the cutest  nieces and nephews on the planet. It is basically blowing my mind that two of them have now grown enough to start school. Here are some adorable recent shots of them. Maya off to her first day…

    This weekend was so great. We really didn’t do much, at all. I was able to take naps on both Saturday and Sunday. The definite highlight of the weekend, was our Sunday morning visit with Piper. It was one of those times, where she was in an awesome mood when we arrived, and stayed that…

    One thing I realized this weekend is that we don’t make it to Kings county enough. Every time that Reagan and I wander into Brooklyn we are both like “why don’t we live here.” I have to admit though, that depending on what neighborhood we go to, I get a little bit hipstered out. Anyway.…

    (Above: pensive Reagan during evening picnic on the roof) I got the weekend off to a banging start, last night in SoHo. I had the privilege of meeting several professional skateboarders that I looked up to, as a kid, including original Z-boy Pat Ngoho. We kept the weekend in high gear on Saturday, with the…

    Sunday, some of our close friends (and Piper’s friends), the Carters came to hang out with Piper one last time before moving to AZ. We had a blast, as usual. The Carter girls always play so nice with Piper. I love the shot below, of little Penelope entertaining Piper: Piper was also able to get…

    (Above: Reagan after crossing the finish line) We had fantastic weather for the Brooklyn Half-Marathon today. Reagan and I traveled to the race with a bunch of our friends from the running club, which made it a lot of fun. We all had a pretty good race. I didn’t hit my 1:30 goal. But I…

    Piper’s B-day party was a blast. All of the kids in her little school class hung out and ate cupcakes together, in their fancy Reagan-made party hats. Piper even thought about trying a cupcake of her own. She didn’t get far though. She ended up just doing some finger painting on her dress with the…
