FIrst Day of Soccer

As any red-blooded northern Virginian will tell you, you're not pulling your weight as a three-year-old if you're not playing soccer. While this curdles my blood, we've dutifully signed Finn up for his first "soccer team."

While what follows may not not strike purists as "soccer" (or worse, "football"), it should at least serve to amuse.

And, speaking as a completely neutral observer, I think it's safe to say we have a budding North American Pelé on our hands. Just saying...

Pelé!

This is soccer???

Some pics from our recent trip out west.... Great time, awesome place and even better company. Special thanks to Ethan, Erin, Ellis, Emile, Eiron, Patsy, Cuinn, Scout and Althea; we started missing you all the minute we drove away. We're not waiting so long to do it again next time! Love, us!

Hot time, summer in the city....

Ok, so we don't really live in a "city"..... But it's been hot. Damn hot! 


And it sure as heck hasn't been a dry heat.


But you know what? That's why the deity invented sprinklers. 'Cause it can get hot under the hood....

Because it's a New Year

A couple pix, a couple vids, all out of perversity, and all with love....

Enjoy!

Xmas at our house....

Where'd Finn go?!?

There he is!!

Finn's first job...

For those of you concerned that personal hygiene doesn't get the attention it deserves at our house....

Finn and his friend McCauley at her beautiful Northern Neck farm....

That's for you, dad.... (and yes, that is dad's lob wedge Finn's dragging all over that field)

Spooky trees.....
