Catching up... and starting again.

It's been since October since I published last.  Crazy.  So much has happened.  Fortunately, we keep up pretty well via Viber.  Most of these photos have already appeared there, anyway.  Still, I wanted to get them on the blog since it is my primary memory.

From our trip to see Oma and Opa in NYC this winter.  Chasing Ratus avianus.

Just another exciting morning in the bucket helmet.

Mowing the carpet.  Might as well.

Helmet!!

Helping mama dust the fan.  Make sure it's turned off first, Mama!

Abe and Keith visit Ithaca Falls.

A morning walk in The Field.

Footsteps.

"Watch Mama!"

An evening with The Families at the Lind's house.

Soon, friend.  Soon.

A new hiking spot at Lick Brook Falls. 

Watching Lebowski at BrooktonAle Brewing.

A Titanic slumber party with Zhora!

Grilling season cometh.

Abe has a little bit of Jonas, a little bit of Eva, and a little bit of Indy in him.  He supervises and runs trail like Jonas, has the varmint instinct and recall of Eva, and the gratitude and sleeping habits of Indy.  That's my current assessment at least.  He's definitely the most doggy dog we've had.

Mmmmm.  Haaaaaam.  Wait.  Is it Easter?

Post ride relaxation.

Trials riding at Cornell.

Slack lining at Buttermilk.

Helping Mama cook.

All Emmett, all the time.  Anyway, he seems to have fit into our routine pretty well and we travel as a pretty happy pack.  Looking forward to summer.

Heavily Brewing

Back at the beginning of October we threw an Octoberfest party at Erik's (photos to come) and a surprise birthday party for Vinnie the following day.  His girlfriend found a brewery called Heavily that had a loft we could rent.  These are the only pictures I appear to have taken.

First breakfast burrito

A couple weeks agwwo we went to the Farmers Market and got breakfast.  Sarah shared her breakfast burrito with Emmett and he ate about half of it.  I don't think that's what Sarah had intended.  The next time we went (with Kurt, Denise, and Alyssa), Emmett got his own burrito. 

He finished it, in case you were wondering.

Birding at the beach sequence

This is the series of pictures that made me think to do some sequences.  I love how animated these ones are.  Of course you can totally feel like you're there, because we all know how Mom is with the grandkids.  So funny!

Peek-a-boo sequence

Sequence Shot Series

I've been going back through my albums and realized that, as a result of shooting multiple exposures regularly, I have many funny or at least fun sequences. I'll share a few of my favorites with you, starting with some older ones.

The Ocracoke Island Ranger Station.  On the boardwalk.

What would you do with a drunken sailor?

Begin dream sequence

I think, upon reflecting on just how many pictures I've taken and how long it's been since I've posted, that maybe I'll do an old post and then a new post until we get caught up. You know, kind of artsy flashback style.

A couple cool guys, ready for a summer day.

Emmett cuddling with Mama after a swim in the lake out at Pat's.  We've not been getting out there as much as we used to, which makes me a little sad, but we still love it.  Abe loves to run around with Pat's current pack of wolves.

Early July, 2017: First birthday party for Emmett, Willa, and Lara.  We had a lot of fun despite all the people.  I'm not sure who invited cyclops.

Cake eating contest.  This was taken before Emmett finished his and went after Lara's.  Go team!

Slack lining.  Always entertaining to bust this thing out for a bunch of people who've been drinking beer in the sun all afternoon.  Safety third.  FYI, Sam didn't do that well on the walk that postceded this picture.  Next up, Octoberfest from this past weekend, then maybe some beach pictures.  Who knows!
