We just bought an iMac and the thing we're most excited about it is the movie-making. Here is Garreth's directorial debut and Sam and Liam's Oscar-worthy performances. We're still learning, but there's a lot more where this came from. Sundance has nothing on us.....

Family Pictures
When we were in Utah over Christmas, we set up an appointment with a photographer that Davy and Rachel have used who does such an amazing job. Here are some of our favorites. I know there's a lot, but they were all so good!

Happy Birthday, Garreth!

For Garreth's birthday last night, we made our traditional trip to a Japanese steakhouse, this time to Kyoto in Bellingham. The kids love watching the chef cook right at our table - setting onions on fire, flipping knives and spatulas, throwing eggs and stuff. It's definite entertainment. And the food was excellent... Liam even tried his first sushi!
In honor of Garreth's 34th birthday, here are 34 things we love about him:
1. He's the funniest person I've ever met.
2. He works so hard for our family.
3. He's the best father in the world.

Extreme Makeover: Liam Edition
Kurt Cobain's first album cover
Unwashed, Uncut, and Uncompromising....Liam's old head
What can we say, the kid's a looker. He really wanted his hair cut because it was getting in his eyes and getting a wee bit girly. His mop will make a return in the spring. Maybe by then Erin will stop crying about the loss of a head of hair only to rival Achilles in Troy.
