Happiest Baby?

There's a book out there about baby raising called "The Happiest Baby on the Block." I think it was written about Whit. Here's why:

Fresh and local is good.

We just watched a movie called "Fresh." I highly recommend that anyone who cares about what you eat, where it comes from, and how it's treated or grown watch the movie. Here's the trailer. There's a screening here in town on Nov. 21st at Everyday Joe's.

Halloween edition.....

The Drake gets to spend all day with the little man, so she gets a lot of photog opportunities. She does a pretty good job at documenting his daily progression. Here are a few from recent Halloween costume sessions.

Festival 8 starts tonight.

So Phish's first festie since Coventry fires off tonight. Festival 8 is going down in Indio, CA, which is in the middle of the desert and also the site of the annual Coachella festival. Hmmmm....the desert would be a nice place to be right now considering all of the snow that is covering the Fort. Anyhow, I'm really lamenting the fact that we're not going to the shows. If Whit was a little older, I'd really like to turn him onto some live music, especially Phish. But he's a little young for that still. I'm thinking he might suffer some permanent mind-altering event if we took him this year. Maybe next year.....

But I digress. If you want to follow the shows this weekend, Sirius is doing a live broadcast of all three sets on their Jamon station. You can even sign up for a free trial here.

The calendar says it's fall.

We got blasted with a massive storm that started Tuesday evening and finished up sometime overnight last night. The official tally at CSU was 21.5" of wet, heavy snow. City employees were sent home early yesterday, so I got to hang with Mandy and Whit while it puked outside. Kind of crazy, since it's still October. It's an el Nino year, so maybe we're in for a big winter. Here are a few shots from around the 'hood.

Tree damage in our front yard.

My new truck is under all that snow.

Our street resembled a war zone with all the broken limbs.

Check out all the snow over the bike/stroller/trailer shed.

This patio furniture won't be seeing any use for a while.

Bath at just under 3-months old

What a difference!

This is too good to not share.
