On Sunday Chloe, Arnold and I journeyed into downtown for some fun.Our first stop was Fathom, a way fun interactive art experience.Normally Arnold is cranky and argumentative, but he behaved well enough (this time) to get kisses from all the beautiful people Chloe and Arnold as mermaid and mer-pig. More smooches with Arnold. Chloe, Dad […]

Happy Easter! Chloe and I got busy. Chloe like to make funny faces for photos.This egg is actually one of mine. Then we took a walk. A downside of the new neighborhood is that it is 90% canyons of sterile, characterless suburban housing. There is actually nothing one can get to by bike or walking […]

Big news in April! Chloe completed and presented her 9-month project on the history of animation. All the 8th graders at the Swallowtail school tackle a big, independent project like this and Chloe knocked it out of the park! The other big news – Lisa and Chloe moved into a new place! It’s pretty nice. Chloe […]

Phil’s Fabulous Subs – Forest Grove. A great place to have lunch. http://www.phils1500.com Welcome to Goodwill. A place where Karl Marx is also a piggy bank. Dad finds a way to have a monopoly over fish. Spider thing, spider thing… what the heck is it? Chloe is through being cool. Chloe is also creating a […]

Chloe has been flushing ice cubes down the toilet for weeks, because it’s a thing with the kids these days that this will make it snow. Either way, it did snow!

If you’d like to know more about the school, here you go –> https://acma.beaverton.k12.or.us/about-us Here’s Chloe dancing in […]

We’re working on getting Chloe into the arts high school in Beaverton so she has more opportunity to focus on her animation and art skills. Here’s two of the things she submitted as part of her application. Someone’s demented sense of humor seems to have filtered down to the child, as shown by these mutant […]

Merry Christmas, everyone! That’s the present Chloe knitted for her mom. And a doodle!

Grama Diane came out to Oregon for the week of Thanksgiving. We took the opportunity to spend two nights at the beach in Seaside, OR. Of course, we zipped down the highway a bit to visit Cannon Beach. That’s Haystock Rock. We also went north a bit to wander around the shops and historic district […]

What will happen with Brock, the Rock? This is a video Chloe made on her phone while we were in Astoria. YouTube detected a copyright issue with some of the music Chloe used in this video, so I had to add it to the site another way. If you have trouble with it, you can […]
