Heading for Maui

We’ll be on the beautiful island of Maui for a few days attending a friend’s wedding and celebrating our 3-year wedding anniversary (and Caleb’s 12 1/2 week birthday…). We may have spotty access to our email accounts but will do our best to respond to any questions and inquiries within 24 hours. Our flight back is on Sunday evening but we will be out of the office until Tuesday evening, November 8th. Have a great weekend!

~ Megan, Peter & Caleb

Caleb Goes to Hearst Castle

We took Caleb on a small adventure up the coast to Hearst Castle on Friday. We were celebrating my birthday but enjoyed taking Caleb out on one of his first major outings much more. He’s 10 weeks old today and still growing at an amazing clip! We’re trying to soak up as much of this time when he is still a baby as possible. Here are a few shots from our little adventure:

This is no joke. That’s San Simeon for you. I suppose that it doesn’t matter that the sign was on a deli and it was lunchtime…

…

Interesting architecture at the Visitor’s Center.

…

Caleb is happy to be hanging out in the Baby Bjorn.

…

Caleb isn’t too sure what to make of the bus ride up to the castle.

…

Except that it makes him sleepy…

…

And squished up a bit . He likes it when Megan holds him though.

…

Just your everyday balcony looking over the Pacific Ocean.

Hmmmmm.

…

The view from the pool.

…

But why would you look away from the pool? How cool is that?

Caleb hiding from the sun under a blanket. He slept in his carrier for the first part of the tour.

…

What’s a grand pool without an elevated pool and waterfall that flows out around a statue?

…

The castle is quite beautiful, both architecturally as well as from all of the lush landscaping.

…

Sweet. Guard dog fountains?

…

German comic caricatures (so we were told) on a window grate.

Yes, that’s the ceiling in one of the guest houses.

Megan’s awesome shot of the castle reflected in the lily pool.

…

These two aren’t related or anything.

…

On our way back home on Highway 1, we were treated to an amazing yet eerie sunset.

…

Back at home, Caleb needed some quality time with his bouncy chair.

…

…and then some on his mat.

…

What’s that over there?

…

Caleb smiling big!

My Super-Star Husband

I just wanted everyone to see what a terrific man I am married to. (Note the iPod…)

What Do the Guys Do?

Ever wondered what the guys are up to while the women are “getting ready” for the wedding? It’s a common myth that they sit around watching a game and doing shots. The secret is out: They fire potatoes from a homemade rocket launcher into the Pacific Ocean…

The secret is out.

Here’s a closeup of the screaming spud.

Caleb at 5 Weeks

Caleb is now almost 8 weeks but we have some great photos of his fifth week of life. He started smiling around week 4 and we’ve managed to capture a few of those precious moments. Now he smiles all the time and it is so much fun! It’s amazing how much he changes and grows each week. He is quite the little character and we are truly blessed!

We’re working on those neck muscles.

Oops! His mood changes quickly!

All fixed!

Our little family

John Jones Coffee

We photographed a beautiful wedding last night at Rose Story Farm in Carpinteria (thank you Justin & Felicity—it was a blessing sharing such a special day with you!) and had the pleasure of running into someone from our past. For those of you who recognize the name “The Java Man”, you’ll be pleased to know that John Jones is now whipping up an excellent brew at select weddings!

John used to drive his mobile coffee shop around to various locations, including the Jefferson Campus of Brooks Institute where we first met him. He takes his coffee seriously and is a really pleasant person to have a conversation with. Last night he had an espresso machine with him and was making any drink the guests could think to request. We had a mocha (yes, it was scrumptious) and overheard a number of people saying very complimentary things about both John and his coffee.

If you are interested in contacting John for your event, please contact him at the following number: 805.252.9991

Caleb at 3 Weeks

Well, things have been a little chaotic around here! Peter started school two weeks ago and everything fun, like taking pictures of our little guy, stopped. Don’t get me wrong, we are doing great, just really busy! So, here are a few photos from two weeks ago when Caleb was about 3 weeks old. He is now just over one month and I can’t believe how different he looks from these photos already! We’ll be sure and get some more posted soon but hopefully these will satiate all of you who have been asking!

There he is, sleeping again!

Caleb & Mommy

So attentive!

Caleb loves his mobile

Caleb & Daddy


Caleb & Peter have “Classical Music Hour” every night (almost!) where Peter works on the computer and Caleb lays with him and they listen to classical music together.
