It started as a business trip, but it seemed unfair to leave Christy and Max at home without me. So we decided to turn it into a mini-vacation.

We started at 4am...well, technically we started three weeks ago, but we really got into it at 4am. The bags were already mostly packed, and Max had a reasonable night's sleep by our most recent standard (he was up once or twice in the middle of the night). So...

Days without a plane ride seem especially uneventful, especially when I spend the majority of my time at a work conference. As such, we decided to combine the last several days of our trip into one post. Read on for riveting stories about rain and fish.

We're still working on the video for Max's Seattlestravaganza. It'll hopefully be done by the end of the week. In the meantime, there's plenty to talk about. Max and I had a very, very exciting Father's Day Weekend.

We're still working on getting the video together for Max's Seattle trip. The current cut is about an hour long, but I think we can cut out some of the redundant parts from the first act, as I think we establish his character well enough by 15 minutes in.

While I was working on that in my entryway studio, Max hit another landmark. As of ten days ago, it's been seven months since Max turned our world crazy. To celebrate, I think we'll just inundate you with photos.

Despite the fact that we weren't able to join the family in Port Aransas (missed you guys!), we have had a fairly positive week. We've been very busy trying out some new things and Max certainly seems to be giving us a run for our money.
