A Stroll in the Park

Here are a few TTV photos we took after going to the farmers market in Poway.

Through the Viewfinder (TTV)

So Mindy picked me up this sweet vintage 50's camera for Christmas. I quickly fabricated a box thingy out of cardboard and tape to block out light from the viewfinder, and to take photos, I stuck my digital camera down the box tube thingy and took shots through the viewfinder. Below are photos of my camera with box thingy attached and a few of the pics I've taken through it.

Mindy and I stopped off the side of the road and got a few pics with the new camera. These photos were taken before I took the camera apart and cleaned off the viewfinder lenses.

Grahams crackers are a new favorite around our house. A word to the wise, avoiding coming between Avery and her Honeymaid...

Following in the family's footsteps...

We've been told many stories by grandmas and great-grandmas of our heritage of climbing babies. Whether it is the time Nick climbed in the sink full of dish water fully clothed or when Grandpa Erickson climbed the ladder onto the roof, apparently Avery comes by it naturally. Unfortunately this time it was at her cousin Elsa's expense...

Happy Belated Birthday Baby...

Avery's first birthday has come and gone and here are the photos to prove it. Cake was tasty, but not messy enough for Dad, hence the additional squirt of whipped cream on her forehead.


Lots of family and friends came to share our joy with burritos and pie at Grandma & Grandpa Knudsen's.









And an oh-so-fun surprise visit from Aunt Heidi!

Puffs with Grandpa are the best finish to a fun birthday!
