We haven’t posted anything recently partially because I had a couple computer meltdowns (first my processor fan died, next my hard drive died). Now that my computer is back up and running, we’ll be uploading pics from the summer. It’s almost the new school year, after all, with Gavin heading into first grade (!!!) and Lilah starting preschool!

It’s 2011 and we’ve been remiss in updating this blog (and the flickr stream) with new pics.  So, here’s the last 3 months in brief…

September

The end of September we had several significant events and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa in California.

But first…

The Open Classroom had an all-school field trip to Antelope Island.  It was big.  There was sand.  There were a lot of people.  We scared some tourists.

And tried (unsuccessfully) to fly a kite…

Not long after was Lilah’s 3rd birthday. Grandma and Grandpa came out from California to celebrate.

October

Then came Halloween.  We were a pirate family.

Nothing at all exciting happened between Halloween and Christmas.  Nope.

December

…and now we’re all caught up

that looks like it was taken by a 3-year-old

photoblog coming soon to a browser near you…

this is just a quick note to say that we’re working on the kidsblog.  i’ve uploaded the site to a new server so it should load faster now, which is good considering how much multimedia content we put up here.  ever the intrepid technologist, gavin got a digital camera for christmas, and has been actively photographing his world.  so, hopefully in the next few weeks i will be setting up a new photoblog to showcase gavin’s photography.  the proposed title is that looks like it was taken by a 3-year old! — gavin’s photoblog.  i’m going to take a bit more of an active role in keeping the blog updated which will hopefully mean more stuff, more often.  

don’t worry, there are pics, we just need to get them all together and will be posting them soon!

happy new year!

note from erin:
gavin got a little matchbox car for christmas this year and decided to use small puff cereal pieces as the driver and passenger, which lilah has been eating out of the car.  then gavin asks for more cereal people for his car.  we’ve been very entertained.

the new site is live.  like it?

the old, old address (http://www.jazzsequence.com/gavin) is still active (for the time being) but we’ve imported all the posts over here and I’ll be putting a redirect in soon so everything comes here.  this site allows for a lot more cool features, better image handling, and embedded video (something the old site was lacking).  plus, it looks awesome.
