California wildlife - in the parking lot
It's not every day you look out your office window to see a mother bobcat and her cub. Rachelle's comment, "That's it. I'm never hiking here."
There it is.

Our first big event - La Habra Children's Museum
First stop, the carousel.
Then, off to the city bus for some driving lessons.
Estelle then works on her finer grocery shopping skills.

Baby Girl is growing up!
A few weeks ago our baby girl graduated to her new Big Girl Bed. This was cause for much celebration, including an immediate invitation for a practice sleep-over with Finn. The owl and Sleep Sheep also report having made the transition without incident.
From the couch in California - Con't.
Finn and Estelle claim the breakfast corner for themselves.
The next morning, Estelle discovers a sheet of stickers. Within minutes, Sticker Girl is born.
From the couch in California - We're back!
A few days later and I'm back in CA and waiting for the truck to deliver our MD lives. I decide to run out for a quick cup of coffee and grab this shot of the entrance to our neighborhood on the drive home. There isn't a wide enough camera lens in the world to do this view justice. It may not be noticeable in this picture, but the top of my car is down...in MARCH. Gotta love this place.
As I round the corner I see a familiar orange truck just in front of me. They're finally here!
You think you know just how much crap you have - and then they open the door of the moving truck. We only had the first 3rd of the truck, but still. And this crew was amazing. I don't know how they did it, but in 6.5 hours, they had everything off the truck and were headed for the next house.

I knew it had been a long time, but September...of last year? Ridiculous. I grabbed my camera, surely we must have something to share. A move to California, Rachelle 29 weeks pregnant, foothills outside our door, Finnegan, Estelle, Sebastian kickin' it West Coast Style...
I spent the first few months of the year traveling back and forth from MD to CA. One trip included the production of the new Delsey print campaign for 2011. We were scheduled to have a once in a lifetime experience - actually shooting on the SF tarmac. I was really looking forward to this. I mean, really. How many people get to spend a day shooting on the tarmac of an active airport?
Clearance took weeks making the anticipation all the better. The week before the shoot our photographer called to tell me his concerns about a bad weather system that was moving into the area.
"How bad," I ask?
"Bad," he says.
We move the shoot date, check weather.com hourly hoping for a change. But no luck. It rained for 10 days straight in San Francisco, and I was there for three of them. Honestly, I've been drier taking a shower for work - and it went on for 8 hours at a stretch. Fortunately, the photographer saw this whole mess coming and shot what we needed while on the scouting trip.
Here's a plug to our photographer and my new good friend Dan Escobar. Not only did he do an amazing job with the photography, but he braved the storm, saved the day, never went over budget and did it all without losing his cool once. You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
