Stop Motion Homework
Tonight for homework Caile worked on creating a stop motion video. It shows the destruction of an ecosystem by fire, and then the growth of it back up again. I thought it turned out pretty well so I wanted to share it.
Happy Birthday Tiffany!
Today is my oldest sisters birthday! I’d make fun of her for getting old, but seeing as I’m her older brother that probably wouldn’t work very good. We had a fun time celebrating her with her tonight and trying to recreate her first birthday. Here she is at age 1 and then some years afterContinue reading “Happy Birthday Tiffany!”

This morning my oldest went to feed them and was worried one wasn’t lookingContinue reading “And then there was one”

Noah isn’t a huge fan of eggs or english muffins so Jen made him banana muffins that he could eat. Sitting beside hisContinue reading “Bacon Lover”

Saturday was the first day I’ve felt back to myself and on the Atlantic timezone since the end of the 2016 Automattic Grand Meetup. So far I’ve written several posts about the trip but wanted to post about my thoughts overall. Talking about the zip line adventure or the wwwp5k only goes into some of the plannedContinue reading “Automattic Grand Meetup MMXVI”
