I know it is only the first week of December. But it is already that time of year, where everyone starts publishing the “best of” lists etc.. So, the other night I sat down and put together a less-than-comprehensive little photo book of our 2009 activities. There are 118 images all together. Depending on which … Continue reading 2009 in retrospect→
Once again, hopefully I won’t get in trouble for posting these. I was ordering the prints for our Christmas cards, yesterday, and decided to get a couple of additional prints made. I had a really hard time deciding. I ended up not going with either of these ones, but I liked them enough to post. … Continue reading A couple of more faves from 2 weekends ago→
Piper had her fancy pants on, and was dancing around pretty much all weekend. It was really fun being able to see Piper for so many days, this week. It is really amazing how quickly standing has become one of her favorite things to do. She would probably sleep standing up, if she could figure … Continue reading Mo’ PJ from the long weekend→
This is the first year, since Piper has been around, that we have been in town for Thanksgiving weekend. In the past we have spent it in New England with our Boston friends. It was kind of nice, not to be traveling, this year. It was extra nice to be able to see Piper on … Continue reading Turkey Day→
Reagan has been threatening to get an iPhone for a while now. I have been threatening to leave out network, all together. My contract was about to be up in Feb., but Reagan carried through, on her threat today and bought herself a new iPhone. Since that kind of wrecked my plans to leave the … Continue reading New Gadgets all around→
We have been trying, for the last 2 days, to get a decent family pic for our Christmas cards. This has involved dressing up nice, dressing Piper up nice, and lugging numerous props etc. to and from the hospital. Piper has been an extremely good sport about all of it. I really hope that we … Continue reading Piper, looooovvvveeeeesssss her mom→
It was bitter-sweet, to leave Brazil yesterday. We really had a great time there. We were initially planning on just having a casual Sunday and gearing up for the flight home, while lounging around the hotel, or something. Instead, we ended up having an action packed last day. We initially set out to photograph some … Continue reading Chegamos→
We stared out the day with a bike ride around the lagoa, that sits about 6 blocks inland from Ipanema. It was a really fun ride. The outside perimeter of the lake is about 8 kilometers. It is great to see how many fitness minded Cariocas were out running and biking. Nike plus had a … Continue reading Botanical Garden & Bike Ride→
Reagan and I were both kind of sad to leave Buzios. We are now back in Rio, this time staying on Ipanema Beach. It is really nice here. It is a good spot to wind down and get ready to go home. It is going to be tough to go back to the grind, after … Continue reading Back in Rio→
Ok, Rio is pretty cool. But, dude, Buzios is insane! It is seriously like something out of a movie. The whole little town is a fishing community in a peninsula located a few hours north (by bus) of Rio. I was able to talk Reagan into experiencing the Brazilian Rodoviaria and cross-country bus trip that … Continue reading And I thought Rio was cool→
