Tell me this isn't the coolest family photo you've ever seen.

You may have noticed in the credits at the bottom of some posts that I've been working with a new photographer (who I happened to find on Thumbtack, actually - that company is like the gift that keeps on giving), Sue Hudelson. I wanted to show you a few of the family portraits she does through her company, Su Casa Portraits, both because if you're in the Bay Area you may be in the market for this kind of thing, and also just for straight-up inspiration, because the holiday season is a good time to gather everybody up and force them to stand in front of a camera. (And if you let them wear Batman costumes and hold chickens, it may take a little less convincing, just saying.)

Posted a few more fun shots below. Love them.

Father Of The Year 2015

Maybe I'm getting old. I mean, not in the semi-facetious way that makes people say, "Who you? Not hardly!" but rather in the curmudgeonly way that can't reconcile today's world - where each day ends, more often than not, with the words "Retrieve Lost Password" flashing across my screen - with the bygone one full of fantasies and laserbeams.

It's tiiiiiiiime.

I am doing literally (and I do mean literally) all of my shopping right here on my couch this year, because despite the fact that I no longer have to brave icy roads and navigate my way through ten-thousand degree stores while wearing marshmallow-shaped coats, I have two children who enter stores and...well...do this.
