Flower

"Daddy, look! A flower!"

Splatter

The difference between beautiful and disgusting can be a matter of perspective.

Closed

It's probably a good thing the door was locked.

Bright Baby Blues

I can't fully articulate how strange and wonderful it is to me that both of my babies have had blue eyes.

Tucked In

Sometimes the amount of consideration Jason can have for others—even his toys—takes my breath away.

I'm obviously not doing a great job with the "daily" thing these days, but I'm going to try to get back in the swing of things.

Dew Drops

There's beauty all around you. Take a look; be open to it. You'll see it, too.

Eva

Eva Akemi Sakasegawa, born September 19, 2011 at 9:05 AM. 7 lbs, 9 oz; 19.5 inches long. It's probably not going to last, but so far she's been a lot calmer and more easy-going than her brother was at the same age. She and Jason already get along great.

More details and photographs will follow in the next few days. Thanks, everyone.

Thinking

Thinking

It sure has been a long time since I posted a photo, especially considering this is supposed to be a daily thing. Here's one from my photo shoot this past weekend. I don't know what he's looking at or what he's thinking about. It would be neat to be able to know, I think.

Summer's Here

Summer's Here

I would have sworn that it was over 90 this weekend, but I guess that old age has turned me into a wimp. Still, despite the heat and the mosquito bites (mosquitos love me; I wish they loved me less), I had a pretty fantastic 4th of July weekend. I ate a lot of food, drank some beer, had some big laughs, and—by way of initiating a friend's new girlfriend into our group—told the Clown Joke for 44 minutes. Not much more I could ask for, really.

Get-Together

Get-Together

This is a pretty typical sight when my friends from college come to town. All that's missing is a case of Coors Light.

We're not the healthiest bunch of people, apparently. At the very least, some of us are definitely pulling down the average.
