Desmond amidst nap-time acrobatics

Upon the first piece’s successful extraction, one thinks, “there was surely no way he was going to pull that off, but wow, he got it. Maybe he has the hang of this…” Second turn, reliably, “yeah, that’s what I was expecting.” Game over.

After morning plans changed, it seemed like just the right cloudy, autumn morning for a movie at the zoo’s IMAX theatre. Not only was this Eleanor’s first non-sleeping-infant movie experience, the concept of 3D glasses was especially perplexing

It’s like it’s coming right at me… ready.

The littlest fishy, getting taller

Rewatching Finding Dory for the umpteenth time, much to dad’s approval. No you’re crying…
