big boy bed redux

eric came running down the stairs for the camera while simon slept to

capture an image of simon peacefully sleeping in his too big bed

easter morn and bluebonnets

after throwing a bunny, simon headed outside for a moment

on the swing before we drove to the hill country with indi,

mick & adam for some Texas bluebonnets and barbeque.

simon plays peek-a-boo by covering one eye with his hand - very entertaining.

simon contemplates about his youth passing him

by while he poses for 'one more' photo.

and a little puppy

all the moms and babies love to hang out together at the coffeehouse,

and it's even more fun if we get to celebrate someone's special day...

simon (and undertreehouse) is so popular

the same weekend whit photographed the house, adrienne breaux photographed us and the house for the web magazine we are good kin - http://www.wearegoodkin.com/article/young-family-modern-living

she first saw the house on the AIA homes tour in October 2009 http://www.aiahomestour.com/Architect8 and then wrote an article about loop design for rare magazine - http://issuu.com/raremagazine/docs/january2010

(pages 68-69) it worked out well for us because we only had to really clean the house good for that weekend.

in between photos, simon took time out for lunch.

photo shoot of house and simon is sick

whit photographed the house friday and saturday for an AIA 2010

design award application, and simon was sick and would only nap in

this position. eric was kind and brought me my ipod.

simon and I wait in line to 'dump' our old paint cans. we didn't

get out of the car to properly document our adventure because

it turns out many people needed to offload paint cans on Wednesday.
