Olivia’s Senior Portraits

by Eric Posted on October 24, 2021

We recently completed the process of shooting Olivia’s senior portraits, and we’re thrilled with how they all turned out. Our friend Jana was the photographer, but hiring her for the job wasn’t just a case of nepotism. She’s a legitimate professional, and … Continue reading →

Mission: Explore Idaho

by Eric Posted on June 15, 2021

You’d be surprised how many Americans confuse “Ohio” and “Idaho” (and “Iowa,” too, for that matter). I guess it’s the vowel sounds. And perhaps the stereotype we’re all in some sense backwater. But the regions are very distinct: in climate, … Continue reading →

by Eric Posted on June 12, 2021

Space Needle

by Eric Posted on June 9, 2021

We visited Seattle today. Our family defaulted to the role of “tourist” in almost every way — dutifully parking near the famous Pike Place Market and spending the better part of the afternoon wandering from there to the Space Needle. … Continue reading →

The Long Way

by Eric Posted on June 7, 2021

Take a left in Streetsboro, go about 2,500 miles west, and you can’t miss it. Getting to Washington State and the Pacific Northwest is that simple, with the United States’ Interstate highway system. But our family took the long way. … Continue reading →

My Favorite Hour of the Trip Out West

by Eric Posted on June 4, 2021

We’ve been on the road for several days now. This has amounted to hours and hours of together time. Which was kind of the goal, of course. Still, it’s a lot of hours. About 40 hours of dedicated drive time, … Continue reading →

Clunks and Dunks

It’s been a great week in the Great Smoky Mountains. The weather has been nearly perfect, with no rain and temperatures mostly in the 70s. The size of our group has felt ideal for this experience. There are a lot … Continue reading →

Hard Freeze Flashback

We’re in the midst of a hard freeze here in Ohio. For the past two weeks, we haven’t gotten more than a degree or two above freezing — and even those “spikes” in temperature were only for the briefest stretches … Continue reading →

Frozen Falls, Bogs, and Beards

by Eric Posted on January 30, 2021

I know that January and February are the hardest months for a lot of people around here. They don’t like the darkness, the deep freeze, the boredom… And I get it. I also find myself longing for Spring. But I … Continue reading →
