Cerney/Knight Photo Shoot Highlights

By -
Julie introduced us to Chris, her awesome photographer connection from work, and he was able to pencil us into his busy holiday schedule for a sitting. Although a tad chilly, the park was a great setting with good lighting. Brock is just not one to smile for the camera, but we managed to squeeze, quite literally, a few out of him.


Ok, I'm no mathematician, but let me tell you that the permutations of getting six adults and three children to look forward and smile (not even smile, just not not smile) trumps Enigma. I think Chris pulled some photo shop magic here because I don't think this shot actually happened.



This blog post is rather Brock heavy, audiences accounted for, but M&M&m&m are really the photo pros on both sides of the camera. They smile, look cute and just overall represent. 


Ok, I guess this guy is pretty cute too.





He really did love this chair and went back to it a couple of times between shoots.


Brock adores his cousins! If he can't smile at the camera, at least he can smile at them!


I love this guy! Snoog.


The yearbook photo we never had.



We learned to love from the best!


"It is a cube, not a block. I will be having the applesauce, squeezed not stirred. If you could please escort my colleague Murray into the library, we have some business to attend too. I'm sorry, I CAN'T poop here? How dare you." I love this guy.


This was the only way we could all get into the photo with any hope of curtailing disdain from Brocklehurst. 


This is how you do it!


Again, the permutations... but it worked!


A fine photo, although I think Brock is playing Pole Position. Thank you Chris for your fine work and Julie for organizing and everyone else for making it such a jolly time!

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside

Camping Disc Golf 2017

Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty. We s

 Brock was given the assignment of memorizing the poem "If", by Sir Rudyard Kipling. It is a wonderful poem, here was his submission to his teacher. They were also called on at random times through out the year to recite various verses impromptu in class. So deep.
