I think I mentioned this before, but it was COLD last week. I like the cold. Especially—in retrospect—now that the weather has returned to a typical moist Seattle winter. My brain has thawed, but is now soggy and my hair…it’s wind-blown.
I watched the weather forecast and waited for the last of the sunny, cold days. By Friday, there was enough gunk in the air (like Los Angeles, only with parkas) to produce some stunning evening light. I took the opportunity to gather the family on Queen Anne for a quick, frigid photoshoot.
Too bad I already produced our Christmas cards.

No Lucy. I said DON'T look directly at the sun.
Strangers and a set sun.

Yeah, he did it all by himself.

This used to be so easy.

This morning when we left the house, the thermometer read 17°F. I know it’s not cold, relative to much of the world. But to Seattleites, who will complain about the weather, regardless of what it has to offer; this is unbearable.
I triple dog dare you to lick the Needle.
Next week, we should start to see some warmer temperatures as the clouds roll in and bring the typical winter drizzle that we’re all comfortable with.
The typical winter drizzle that we’ll all complain about for the next 5 months.

This is Lucy’s latest trick. As soon as she stands up she becomes overwhelmingly thrilled, giggles, wets herself, then plops back down. We’re all convinced that she can walk and probably runs laps around her crib while we sleep at night.
Great! Now walk in and put some clothes on, would ya?

We’d like to welcome the latest addition to our extended family. Earlier today, my sister Meghan gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Violet. This is the first time we’ve been able to call me an Aunt and Jon an Uncle, so we’re pretty excited. Everybody is doing well, resting and getting to know each other. Congratulations Meghan and Kevin; we are so excited for you.
Welcome Baby Violet
