I’m behind on getting photos/videos/posts up, but am working on them . . . in the meantime, I put this together quickly for a short Christmas posting! Happy Christmas everyone!

Elliot composes

Not an uncommon sight around the house—Elliot loves to compose her own songs by transcribing in a string of notes as she made it up . . .
Another Morning
Another typical morning around our house—it’s hard to wake a sleeping cutie, but it’s worth the effort when they light up your home with play . . .
Here’s a couple other recent photos—the first of swinging with her friend Sophia at the Plaza playground and the second of us enjoying the weekly Shiso Sushi night at Sonoma Springs Brewery around the corner from our home.
Thanksgiving // 2010
Meema and Dampa came down to the Bay Area and we all spent Thanksgiving in the city with Mary and Karson. We also got to see their new house in Oakland and their new dog for the first times!
Pulley!
Elliot and I love making pulleys using jump ropes and the backs of two chairs. We send stuff to each other. You know, like tooth paste and legos.
Girls dance
We play a lot of music in our home. Sometimes Elliot strikes up some improv dance—and I managed to catch it on film this time.
Another dancing Kate date!
When Kate and Elliot get together, they often find a reason to dance—this time it was dancing along to The Nutcracker.
Daddy is 33!

The Bears won, I played with my daughter and had dinner with my gorgeous wife at my favorite restaurant—it was a good birthday.
we heart Sonoma // A Dinner at Scribe
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/34517223 w=590 h=330]
On a cold November evening, we were getting a cone of ice cream when we got a text from Scribe Winery vintner Andrew inviting us to dinner at their “Hacienda.” We never refuse a Scribe invitation and were quickly there eating delicious, fresh food at a hay bale table and drinking wine from jam jars and socializing with a group of Levis creatives (who later made this.)
Yes, we were very much in our element (and the type of people who bring their 5yr-old to a winery party.)
Autumn on The Plaza
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/32310225 w=590 h=332]
Elliot and I decided to spend a beautiful autumn afternoon at The Plaza. We started off at the playground, but soon discovered we were amidst a sea of fallen leaves.
It wasn’t long before we were building and scattering piles upon piles of leaves. Then her friend Sophia, along with some older kids from school, showed up . . .
