Merry Christmas everyone! Here is the 2007 Douglas Fir. This years tree was perfect, one of the healthiest trees we have had over the years. I shot this in the AM on Christmas Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

The best part of Disneyland...
Air Hockey.
Lucas loved the Air Hockey game next to Space Mountain in Tommorowland and I will always remember this day in 06 where my 4 year old would rather play Air Hockey than get on Space Mountain. I really don't blame him. Air Hockey is one of the classics, but snubbing his nose at Space Mountain. But then again, he has never been on Space Mountain so he really doesn't know of it's amazing thrills. I tried to describe it to him but he was smitted over, well you know...
Disneyland was great and you can see more images here. Being there brings back so many memories and if you hit it right like we did, mid October / mid week, the experience is stress free. The weather was mild and the lines were short. We basically waited for a max of 20 minutes for any given ride. Autopia was closed, as well as the Monorail, and so was Big Thunder Mountain but that didn't stop us. I was also impressed with California Adventure, especially an attraction called Soaring Over California, a virtual flying experince unmatched anywhere. It's the closest feeling you will get to real flight.
Another piece of advice is to eat in Downtown Disney. You can get Hagen Daz Ice Cream and a smoothie from Jamba. It's a great diversion.
We will be back (we got the yearly pass) and if you are new to parenthood be prepared for your kids to go wild (in a good way)

Lucas at August's 5th Birthday Party
Here Lucas is 4, not 5, but his friend from school Auggie (short for August) just turned 5 and is getting ready to go to Kindergarten. Justine and I really love this image I shot this weekend. We had a great week due to pre-school being closed for the week to make way for the new students and the new school year.
We went to Legoland and to Auggie's Party where there was a Reptile Show. Lucas got to touch and feel real snakes, skinks, and millipeedes. He also got to bounce like a madman in the jumper. Each morning this week we started the day off right by playing a few games like Namitz, Baloon Lagoon, or Quiddler. The hightlight of the week though was our family day on Thursday at Legoland where we rode rollercoasters such as "Project X" and "The Dragon", and played "Hide and Seek" in the "Hideaways. There is so much to do at Legoland we got the yearly pass and hope to go again and again.

Self Portrait and Chabo!
Lucas and I had a wonderful Sunday. He woke up happy and wanted to make BlueBerry Muffins. I could not refuse. We went to Albertsons to get a few missing ingredients like eggs and milk. Lucas got a cooking kit from our friend Kim and he was so happy to put it to use. We added the flour and baking soda, salt and sugar to the blueberry and egg milk mixture. The oven was pre-heated to 400 and we were ready to bake. Once we ate our muffins over a few Little Bear episodes, Lucas wanted to take pictures with the G2. I gave him a quick lesson in Photography and he was energized to take pictures of everything he owns and loves. My advice to him was, "Take pictures of things you like in your life." He took some grand images and I couldn't be more proud. He shot everything from me to his treehouse and as of now is running around the house looking for things to shoot.
