VIDEO: ABCs

Little Monkey

Mommy Group

I was part of a mommy group outing to Sawyer Park and Cider Hill.  Those pictures of Henry and Hazel are the sound of constant screeching!  That's the elusive Joshie in the middle.  And finally DONUTS!

Henry at Pre-School

These photos are from a Photo Journal that the teachers are keeping at Bright Horizons daycare in Newburyport. Henry started pre-school two days a week in mid May. The scans a low quality images of color printer photos, but they capture his first days in a school room with other kids. The little girl in the purple shirt is Henry's adorable girlfriend Avery. Avery Luuuuvs Henry!

Beautiful Boy

Liane was experimenting today with the new "retro camera" app on her android cell phone and took this wonderful picture.

Angels with Dirty Faces

He got into the potting soil of a plant on the deck. Doesn't seem to bother him that his face is covered in dirt.

Baked Ziti Face

Henry always liked Daddy's gravy. He's wearing a considerable amount of it on his face in this photo.

Days of Wonder

These grainy stills are from a movie I took recently, a movie that does something a photograph cannot: capture these small, liquid moments. I'm too busy being a stumbling, imperfect father to realize that he can see things we can no longer grasp, angels in the architecture, souls in those plastic dingetjes hanging from the lamp in his room, poetry in his grasp. Do you remember how old you were before you lost the ability to feel and wonder?

I can't love with more ache and confusion than when I see his face.

Sk8tr Dood

I know some of these shots are blurry, but Henry looks like such a cool punk rocker in his Portsmouth Brewery t-shirt, Sk8tr Boy shorts and low-top Chucks.

Cool Guy

Bonz Malone in his new black, low-top Chuck Taylors, just like Daddy's!

Hunting Easter Eggs

Easter Sunday, 2011.

Spring is finally here!

After seemingly the longest, snowiest winter ever, Henry and I are finally back to our Saturday Morning trips to Sawyer Park in Kensington NH.
