A Seafood Feast

Yachi’s parents were in town and decided to make a hugemongous feast for all of us.  We had crab, shrimp, pork, corn, broccoli and rice.  So many crab we had to get a large steamer from one of the two places in Seattle that sells them.  It was awesome.

Showing off some of the ginormous shrimps:

And the beautiful crabs:

Another of the shrimps after they started suffocating and the veins started really showing up:

And Now For Something Different

Back to my traditional stomping grounds of stream of consciousness sorts of pictures.

New cats having a terrible time getting used to their new house:

I like how the out of focus graffiti makes it look like the chain link fence is affecting the wall:

Some probably toxic waste:

A little SIFF love:

Random urban jungle:

Just The Little One

Looking cute as ever:

Opening some old Christmas presents found in the move:

 

I do like half face shots for whatever reason:

Snacking:

Ok, not really the little on but something I thought was fun:

More Closeups

Eating together:

I like how the sky adds a little hint of drama to the picture but wish I knew how to get rid of the power lines in the background

Just to mix it up a little bit a, *shock*, non-baby or family photo.  Pretty cool artichoke thing.

Back to de rigeur with Calla starting to show a little boredom with me taking photos.

One of my favorite photos of the little girl:

A little different but still quite cute:

Morgan thinking:

Baby Series

Come on you think I am going to take photos of anything else for a while?

The forbidden fruit, aka tv:

Dad realizing that he is being watched:

Reading to the little girl as she falls asleep:

I still think watching her eat is my favorite.

Salut:

Not sure if this is good or not:

Starting to dig it:

Moving Day

The truck rolled in and needed to be emptied so I became designated photographer for the day to avoid any sort of labor.  DA drove out with Kip and helped unload the truck which astounds me.  I can’t think of many friends I would do that for.

I managed to catch a few good shots while avoiding work.

DA showing Calla the sights in the morning:

Having a beer to celebrate the empty truck:

Mom and child:

Very happy to have finished with the truck:

Just mom:

Thinking about actually unpacking the boxes now that the truck is empty:

Aunt and child:

DA thinking about getting roped in to unpacking the boxes:

Me happy to have avoided so much work:

Walking Around With The Little Girl

She was strapped to my back the majority of the time so not a lot of shots of her but the one I was able to get it one of my favorites so far:

Later in the day reading on the floor:

I also caught Eileen licking her lips in preparation for the food.  Obviously we starve them as shown by the flipped over bowls:

While walking around for three hours with the little one passed out on my back I did get some cool city shots.

Straight out of the dust bowl:

A left over apple:

Blue sky and wires.  I like the random devices on the bottom of the pole:

Red mill wall hangings:
