San Diego Zoo

December 31, 2006 – 7:05 pm

New Years Eve at the San Diego Zoo. Ella was very interested in the zebras. Ethan was most concerned about ice cream. Although, Ethan did pass the test…Pandas eat bamboo and Koalas eat eucalyptus.

Your vote counts…which one to be framed and mounted for Ethan’s room?

Zebras and their stripes have such a great design asthetic…

The eye, caught my eye. Such a unique color.

Huntington Gardens

December 28, 2006 – 7:26 pm

We had a nice afternoon in Pasadena strolling through The Huntington Gardens. Ethan especially enjoyed it, as one of the volunteers spent some time with him educating him on a rock that dated back to the dinasaur age. I downloaded and archived the pics of the kids first…will have to post some of the garden variety later!

Holiday Card Outtakes - Round 2

December 11, 2006 – 10:19 pm

This image was in the running for our family Holiday Card…and made a good showing when viewed by by the judges (i.e., Gia and the kids). However, didn’t quite make the cut (but fun designing, none-the-less).

Holiday Card Outtakes

December 3, 2006 – 9:08 pm

It’s fun this time of year seeing families gather at the beach and in the parks – often in matching shirts, with cameras on tripods – in pursuit of the annual Family Holiday Card. We join in the fun (often guilty of the matching shirts), and have learned over the years that getting a useable image can certainly be a challenge.

Although we got a bit of a late start, we did manage to drag the kids along to a couple “2006 Anderson Family Holiday Card” shoots today. And, upon returning home and reviewing the images, it dawned on me that many of the “outtakes” normally go unseen. In fact, each year we have at least a dozen or so Holiday-Card-Attempts that never see the light of day. But now….with the blog….well, enjoy some outtakes (more to come over the next few days).

Tierney Sutton

December 1, 2006 – 2:11 pm

Fridays on the blog are now dedicated to entertainment recomendations (music track/s, podcasts, books, etc).  If you have a nugget, join in the conversation by posting your weekly recommendation in the reply section as well.

We’ve really been enjoying the sounds of Jazz vocalist Tierney Sutton as of late.  In heavy rotation around our house has been the track "Comes Love" from Sutton’s "Something Cool" album (2002).  I especially agree with the Toledo Blade review…"a lot of attitude and a good deal of fine scatting, which makes comparisons to legends Ella Fitzgerald and Sara Vaughn all the more believable."  The image below is borrowed from her website www.tierneysutton.com.  If you dig this genre, give her a listen.   

Christian Jacob - piano / Trey Henry - bass / Ray Brinker - drums / Tierney Sutton - vocals.
