Tyler's 1st Birthday Party and Baptism

We had a great time with a family gathering on the occasion of Tyler's baptism. Before church, we celebrated Tyler's 1st birthday with a great brunch. Thank you to all of our family on both sides who made it. We stuffed 25 people into our living room and Tyler loved every minute of it.

Apple Picking for Tyler's 1st Birthday

Happy Birthday Tyler! This year on your birthday Dad's friends from college visited and we all went apple picking. You really enjoyed eating your own apple and choking on apple skins! Next year you will be much better at that.



You also have the same birthday as Dad's good friend, Dan Osman. Who showed you the finer point of apple picking.

Growing Into His Shoes

Daisy and Kenzie

We dog-sat our friends Kate and Erik's dog, Daisy this past weekend. We had a lot of fun. Kenzie loved having a pal to run around with and Tyler really enjoyed playing with a dog that he couldn't hurt! This is what they did most of the weekend, though.

Tyler enjoyed the slide at the park. His hair enjoyed it too...

Passport Photo Fun

We just realized that I (Dan) would need to renew my passport because it's been ten yrs (10!) since my first international trip (outside of Canada) with the family. Well, now going to Canada actually does require a valid passport, and as Jen and I are planning to head up to Montreal this fall, now is the time to get this done. So, being somewhat handy with the camera, I've taken my passport photo myself.

My old passport photo circa May 1999. This is me after just completing freshman year at Skidmore.


Accidental image, but it works.
