Coloring a dolphin (like uncle dan!) with daddy

Beatrice loves to splash "like a dolphin like uncle dan!" in the bathtub, so it was no surprise that after her bath she wanted me to draw dolphins for her. she's getting really good at filling in outlines!

Some photos from snowpocalypse 2012

Here you can see our neighbors blocking us in, our garbage can frozen shut, and an ice-coated weed. This is what happens when it snows in Seattle.

A crunchy topping.

After the snow, freezing rain laid a sparkly, crunchy crust on the snow. It was very lovely. It looked like Fake Christmas.

Daddy to draw a monster at the end of this book?

Beatrice loves drawing with crayons! She also loves the book "the monster at the end of this book, starring grover" but she does not like us to ever open it. Instead, she asks us to draw fanciful monsters "at the end of this book" for her, which she colors happily.

Want a snow treat?

Today it snowed! We took beatrice out in the snow when she was very young but she probably does not remember it. When we went out this afternoon, she was excited to go outside but afraid to step on the snow (maybe disturbing its perfection bothered her). I gave her a little clump of snow to taste and her face lit up... "it's a treat!" she said. "it's a SNOW treat!" i spent the next five minutes trying to keep her from consuming dirt and leaves with her snow treats. Love that kid.

My new friend, the epiphyte!

Today i received this wonderful little plant! It grows in AIR. You just leave it lying around and mist it a little. isn't he cute? I think we have similar taste in music too.

Happy anniversary to us!

Tonight my brother patrick came over and we watched this psychological thriller. I cannot recommend it, but it wasn't bad!

Swimming like a dolphin!

We went to seabrook recently with some friends and one of them splashed in an indoor pool "like a dolphin". Inspired, beatrice now "swims" in the tub like a dolphin every time i give her a bath.

About

hi, i'm jonathan! i am a software engineer and amateur photographer living in redmond, washington (you may, correctly, guess the large corporation that pays my mortgage).

i post one photo here every day, which documents my life, or my friends' lives, or what i ate for lunch. these photos are taken with an aging cellular telephone and completely untouched.

think of it as a stream-of-consciousness sort of thing.
