Nudie Pix!

As today offered the nicest weather in a week or so of cloudy days, we decided to enjoy some time all together in our yard.

Emmett enjoyed getting "back to nature" - the briskness of the water on his undercarriage, the fresh air seeping in through every pore, the sun shine hitting spots where it normally don't.

"Raleigh, let's race!"


I'm practically standing on my own.

"AARGH!"


"buns of steel"


Serious business in the pool...


"BUY! SELL! BUY! SELL!"

Emmett enjoying his new toy phone. He immediately started holding it up to his ear and "chatting". Why does he look so worried?

Father's Day Jam '09


We went out to MASS MOCA, the great modern art museum in North Adams.  It is in an amazing setting of old brick factories and mills.

Last time we were here was just a week before tiny E was born.  Remember this:



Things are a bit defferent now. . .

Emmett really enjoyed the art and all the nice people he met.  We especially enjoyed a 3 story exihibition of wall drawings by Sol Lewitt.  It was amazing, like walking into someones notepad.  Luckily it will be there for at least 25 years, so we'll have many opportunities to enjoy it.  Perhaps Emmett will bring his kids someday. . .




comin' to getcha!



SEE YA!

Emmett goes west!

We just returned from a long weekend in the Bay area.  We went to the wedding of some close friends (Peter in fact is the bass player in Mobius Band) and to visit Sarah's cousin Sean and his wife Kate.

Everybody had a great time.  Emmett as always was very fun and good mannered.  He won over every scowling face on the plane with his shenanigans.  More than a few times we heard: "What a happy baby!"

"Who's that handsome guy?"

Emmett really looked up to cousin Sean

Emmett practices "blue steel"

Swept up at the academy of Science aquarium.

"Look at that big fish!"

We got a chance to visit the redwoods at Muir Woods.

Looking fancy at the wedding.

All of our friends were excited to see baby Emmett. He was happily handed from person to person. Peter and Jess did a great job, the spot was delightful, the weather perfect. It was a great chance to hang out with lots and lots of dear friends.

Looking cute out at dinner.

Emmett made some new friends through the window of a unique ice cream shop we visited.  Some of the flavors: olive oil, chile and lime sorbet, peanut butter curry, bourbon and cereal (secret breakfast), and passionfruit milk chocolate!
