jonathan’s photos

one per day, from my cellular telephone.

baby mcpherson

this picture of the day was not taken with my cell phone; it was taken with ultrasound. and it was not taken today; it was taken a few weeks ago. but we've kept it a secret for a while and now it's time for it to not be a secret any longer: we are going to be parents. we're excited, nervous, thankful, and basically unprepared but we can't wait to meet baby mcpherson when he or she arrives! due date is march 18th, but you know how these things go. be prepared for this to turn into "my kid is the cutest thing in the world" daily photo blog in about six months because i expect to be the world's proudest father.

give thanks

this morning as we were getting into the car to go to work, i saw my breath for the first time since much earlier this year. tomorrow is the first day of fall and we are going to decorate the house! kelly has a box of fall decorations and this sign is a new addition from her recent trip to texas.

this picture is the opposite of the one i posted a few days ago! instead of jonathan with droopy flowers, it is kelly with fresh flowers. kelly returned from texas today and boy was i glad to see her.

hiii-ya!

dave (my brother in law) and rusty (my actual brother) came over and helped me with phase 2 of the retaining wall project this afternoon! they worked tirelessly and also split the bricks into two using karate chops! phase 2 is nearing completion and soon it will be time for phase 3 (big time cleanup), phase 4 (putting in dirt that will actually grow plants), and phase 5 (in which kelly will make the raised bed bloom with all kinds of vegetation).

friday fest / matthew the keyboard hero

i could not decide on the picture of the day so once again you get two of them. (1) a tug of war held during this afternoon's "friday fest", an event held a few times a year at work to keep employee morale up. i always mutter "bread and circuses" under my breath but i still go because i like bread and circuses. (2) my co-worker matthew plays a game like guitar hero only it is on the computer and your keyboard is the controller. neat!

kelly is in dallas this weekend

this is a metaphorical picture of the day. the sad face and droopy flowers are a representation of kelly's absence this weekend; she is in dallas with friends and i am living like a bachelor in her absence. i tried to do some domestic things last night and i will not comment about the outcome except to say that roasting squash did not turn out to be one of my gifts.

microsoft daily double!

okay, this is two days' worth of pictures so make it last. in the first, i am walking back to my office yesterday after meeting with actual customers, which is picture of the day worthy because in my job we are quite insulated from the customers and can easily go years without spotting one. in the second, i am shocked to see that the car parked behind mine is a tesla roadster, and i whip out my camera phone in self-defense. (the tesla roadster runs entirely on electricity and also it costs $100,000.)

woah, a prize in my breakfast cereal!

when i was young and my favorite breakfast cereal's first ingredient was sugar-coated marshmallows, prizes in the box were a matter of routine. but now that i'm older and look for things like "protein" and "fiber" and other stuffy grown-up qualities, i have not received a prize in the box for many years... UNTIL TODAY. because today was the day that i opened a box of my sensible kashi crunch and discovered a free packet of sensible crackers inside, wrapped in the same vaguely translucent plastic that once protected the batman action figure from whatever chemical is used to make "crunch berries".

retaining wall progess report for sunday!

ok, i made more progress than this but i thought i'd snap a picture before it got dark. the 2nd level trench is now finished and i am busy filling, levelling, and compacting base gravel in the trench for the wall to rest on. also today we got to teach 4th grade sunday school (i didn't take a picture of that because it might be creepy) and i went to the root connection for kale, mustard greens, vita greens, and cilanto. we love greens in the mcpherson household!

do the puyallup!

today we went to the fair in puyallup! (you are probably wondering how to pronounce that word; it is "pyoo ahll up".) this is kelly eating a funnel cake next to a sign advertising some kind of truck thing. our friends aaron and andy and hillary were there too and we got to see weird al's brain in 3D, which was alone worth the price of admission.
