Merry Christmas!

This one is for my sweet friend, Jill, and her little beauty.
I was happy because I got to hang with her and finally use the antlers I made.  Because everybody knows baby antlers are cute.
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday!

NYC

We've been meaning to get back for a while now.  During our trip to Michigan, Fran and I got to escape to one of my favorite places, New York City.  I just love it there, and I know I'm not alone.  The energy is beyond words, and every time I visit I leave wanting to pack up my family to make a new life for ourselves out there.
Tanya and Chris (from Michigan) and Vince and Katie (from Boston) went with us on our trip.  It was awesome to eat, drink, shop and sight-see with these folks.  We visited a number of great hotels: The Ace Hotel, Gramercy Park Hotel, and the new Gansevoort Hotel.  And we dined at some really cool and yummy places: Momofuku Ssam, The Breslin (more drinking), and the Vinegar Hill House (best reuben ever).  During our visit we stayed at The Bowery and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an hip yet cozy place to spend their trip.
I didn't take my Contax 645 on this trip and took the Fujifilm GF670 instead.  I intended on taking a ton of photos, but in the end, not so many.  I only took it out with me a couple of times and most of the time it stayed in my purse.  Bummer.

Playtime with Auntie Brooke

From LA to Richmond: A Big Thank You

This is a shout-out to Poppy and Duke for sending us our 2nd annual Autumn leaf display for our window.  We love opening our leaves and watching the sunlight pour through them.  Thank you, thank you!
Love,
James and George

And here's one for their awesome parents:

Miss you guys!  LA is still awaiting your return! 

Before We Get to Thanksgiving....

Perhaps I should post the photos of the previous holiday?  Makes sense.  I don't really have that many because George really took off on his walking that week and quite the busy boy.  He growled like a monster at passer-bys and at the couple of doors he trotted up to.  James was able to get down the "treat" part of the saying "trick-or-treat".  We spent the evening in Rochester, MI with our friends, the Demetrals.  It was a great night out.

At Home with George

I finally got some film back from the lab.  It took me a while to get them off as I wasn't shooting as regularly.

These photos are the first that caught my attention until I'm able to plug through the rest.  This is a morning in the life of one of my best guys, George, who is now fully walking, talking, and dancing.

(Not to mention sticking up for himself when his brother gives him the opportunity).  

 I realize this is George overload, so thank you for looking.  Make sure you mention to me how adorably cute he is next time we see one another.
