Halloween!

Good times during a family photo shoot with the Reeves, Miadichs, Zoradis and George Lee. A couple shots prior to the main shoot.

Bear Attack!

Why you don't mess with Bear, even if your a lawn gnome

So I came home from work the other day and witnessed this event shortly after being home!! Gave me a new respect for my son!

Movie Star Dad!!

Hey everyone! My friend Chase Reeves has created a wonderful new blog called FatherApprentice for expectant/new dads. It is a great blog with quality stories, resources and flat out funny antics. I encourage all of you to check it out, subscribe and write comments for each post. He is really trying to make a go of the blog and really wants it to be a resource for guys out there who are wondering what the whole parenting thing is all about. If you need a little extra motivation to checkout the site the most recent post is a video interview Chase did of me!! It is a fun little story about Bear's day o' birth. Check it out: FatherApprentice. Thanks for stopping into our blog and hope you all have a wonderful day!

What a treat!!

Last week Morgan Cathey was in Portland visiting with us and the Zoradis. Morgan is a dear friend from San Diego who is now living in Cape Town, South Africa with his sweet wife Cari. They have been there for four or so years now and are an absolutely amazing couple. Lisa and I became very close with them when we lived there and miss them so much. Lucky for us Morgan came to the states for a wedding and swung up to Portland to see us all and do some work for These Numbers Have Faces. It was a blessing having him stay with us and share in our love and enjoyment of Barrett. Morgan and Cari are having a son in December and I am already figuring out how to get them both on the US national mens soccer team in 2026 (yes our boys will be 16 and killing it for the team). Anyways here are a couple of photos of Morgan and Bear while watching the Vaux swifts settle into their chimney at Chapman Park. Cari, sorry you weren't able to come out with Morgan...we miss you and can't wait to see you. I am pretty jealous Justin is heading out there in Oct.

Lisa needs to post.

Since Lisa is the writer in the family I will leave the writing and therefore the more interesting blog posts to her. Here are a few more pictures of Bear. At the pediatrician yesterday he weighed 9lbs 2oz!!
