Many Astonishing Things

This weekend we went to Victoria and accomplished many astonishing things. Allow me to list them:
Thing 1 — Taming Wild Beasts

Thing 2 — Scooting

Thing 3 — Enrolling a Large Part of our Family into a Scooter Gang

Thing 4 — Being Photographed at Night

Thing 5 — Riding on a Taxi that Floats

I ask you, what [...]

Pitas and flying, sort of

.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }

We’ve discovered some excellent Pita baking techniques. We’re using the recipe from The Bread Bible, only since we don’t plan ahead, we don’t raise it for anything like the time suggested in the book. [...]

Less of a Dodo

sharedVideo(1130042053)
Joe bought the same kit that I used to create the Dodo, but his creation turned out to be far less flightless; which is to say that it flew.
I’ve been inspired to resurrect the Dodo, and see if I can’t make it soar once again. We shall see.
Despite not having our own functioning plane [...]

Sadie, getting far older

We decided that it was time for another sadieshoot. She did quite well.
You can see the entire set here.

Baja Observed

sharedVideo(736431262)
We have been to Baja, and it was excellent. I’d highly recommend it. We saw many things, many of which you can see on our flickr gallery of the trip, or on Jesse’s.
The video above is of diving Pelicans near Bahia De Los Angeles, excellent birds in an excellent place.

So Many Baby Photos

My flickr account has recently been inundated with baby photos.  I suppose there are worse things to be inundated with.  Perhaps I’ll soon be fielding calls from calendar companies looking for the next Anne Geddies.  Forget advertising or dentistry, a career in baby photos is the way to go.
But that’s not what you’re here for.  [...]

Where I’ve Been

I like to think of myself as someone who’s traveled quite a bit. However, I just discovered this TravBuddy map which asks you to input every country you’ve visited, then generates a travel map showing where you’ve been. You can see mine here.
Needless to say, I was disappointed by the result. [...]

The Bowen family was down visiting for Thanksgiving, and we decided to take some Sadie photos with her new striped outfit.

Ripping Off Anne Geddes

Last night Bugaboo’s (Sadie if you must) parents thought that we should shoot her Anne Geddes style. So we did.
Bugaboo didn’t really approve, but we were able to catch her in a few moments of [...]

Bugaboo in her gratest moment to date, originally uploaded by lenordbater.
There is one more bowen in the world today than there was yesterday. Because she hasn’t yet been named, we’ve decided to call her [...]
