And just like that, we have a four-year-old. He’s come a long way, our oldest baby. Low-res proofs from his fourth-birthday photo shoot:


Spent the afternoon this past Sunday at Pleasure Valley Llamas (and Pumpkin Farm) with Stacey’s parents and Stacey’s nephews Owen and Alejandro. It was our second year visiting. Zachary was too little to really enjoy it last year, but he really made up for it this year. Benjamin had good time again this year, too.
A few pictures have been uploaded to Flickr if you’re interested:

It’s well worth the $8 per wristband to enjoy all of the various activities there. Each wristband also includes a 20-pound pumpkin of your choice–picked from their patch yourself, or taken from carts near the entrance/exit. Larger pumpkins are $2 for every additional ten pounds over twenty, so a $40-lb pumpkin would only cost you an extra four bucks; a pretty good deal in the grand scheme of things-pumpkin. It’s located about 20 miles or so west of Random Lake, near Adell/Batavia. The farm’s website (linked above) has a map.
We hope you enjoy the pictures.
The title says it all. He’s two! Congrats, little dude.
We would also like to thank everyone for coming for his birthday party last week. Everyone here had a great time!
We were in San Francisco last week on vacation, with the kids and their mother’s parents. Had a great time, but it was indeed challenging (at least for Dad) with the kids in tow. Lots of great pictures, some of which we’ll post here eventually.
We’ve switched themes here on the site to something we hope will grant us a little more flexibility in posting stuff as it happens. It won’t help much with photos or anything, but for quick notes and observations, etc, it should make things a little easier. Let us know if you see anything wildly broken.

And yes, this is the unadorned stock theme, and no, it’s not exactly screaming “awesome!”, nor is it feeling entirely graphically appropriate for the subjects and subject matter. In due time, or maybe never, we’ll fix it or we won’t. ;)
