Portrait

year one, 2011

M and I are one!

...and we still don't take very good self-portraits.

To celebrate the month of our anniversary, the streamers that fluttered around the ring of witnesses at our wedding went up around our decks. That's been a fun reminder.




On the weekend of our anniversary, we took a 24-hour vacation to a refreshing mountain river, with falls and pools clear as glass.




We mark this milestone with profound gratefulness and joy. It's very humbling to hold a gift and know that it's not by some merit that you've have it.

Livingroom Life

big squash leaves make me so happy.
I promptly prepared them for breakfast- a favorite dish from Cameroon.

In the same room, on the floor, is this.

Professional collaboration with a guy he grew up with who does another type of engineering.

The machine, which I've named Alvin, materializing from digital design to physical presence...in our  livingroom!
The season of gathering family has begun.
Here my newest and nearest relatives are gathered in the livingroom for a belated 1st birthday and Father's Day.
