Nico races a crit

David — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:19:53 +0000

We have a fabulous little nephew. Nico takes after his parents, racing in a local criterium. For the kids, it’s just one lap. But Nico, wearing cowboy boots, takes the cake for me. He does a great job. Check it out.

The kids joined a track team this spring. Here is a short video taken at the past few track meets at Nathan Hale High School.

Junior Aerialistas in Winter Performance

David — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:04:03 +0000

Camille continues her love of aerial performance. Her teacher Lara Paxton helped put together a performance in their new studio space – Emerald City Trapeze Arts. Here are some pictures from before the show.

Scroll down for the videos.

Here are videos of Camille and Sarah’s performance. I had a bit of trouble as there was ambient light coming in from the windows and the mirror behind the performance space caused the autofocus of the video camera to focus on the farthest object, some beams in the mirror, rather than the girls. Sorry.

Camille Dives!

The First Night of the “Monkeys”

David — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:43:33 +0000

Here’s a grainy video of the first night of the the Monkeys’ performance. It’s of poor quality because I used the wee pocket camera as the video camera went a bit wonky on me today.

The video is also here.

Dress Rehearsal for Monkeys

You know how parents say their kids are monkeys. Well, our kid really is. Camille is performing the Three Little Monkeys and the Big, Bad Banana with the Aerialistas and Circus Contraption. Last night was the dress rehearsal.

Skiing with Lucy and Camille

David — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 07:20:33 +0000

It had snowed on Thursday and many patients cancelled their appointments on the following day. In a desire to ski, I spontaneously decided to invite my kids who were spending the day with another family to come with me. Camille said yes, but only if her friend Lucy, who had skis, but had never skiied before, could come. Daniel said no, he’d rather stay and play with Pee Wee. So I ended up with two girls, heading up to Cabin Creek at 2 PM for a quick ski trip. It was the first day that they groomed and the groomer was pulling out of the parking lot as we showed up at 3:15. Lucy was a trooper and did wonderfully for her first day skiing.

The conditions were fabulous. It was partly sunny, cold, and calm. The snow cover was awesome, and the grooming quite good.

Camille Unicycles!

David — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:11:09 +0000

My daughter Camille makes me so proud sometimes. Watching her athletic pursuits is no exception. She tries so hard! Watch the smile on her face on this video, even as she dumps her unicycle. She impresses me so much.

Triple Trapeze

Camille is training with Lara Paxton of Circus Contraption/The Aerialistas. Lara is one of Seattle’s premiere aerialists. She is forming a small troupe of girls to perform in Winterfest at the Seattle Center. Here the girls pose a bit on the triple trapeze, one of their favorite apparati.

Hike with Dan

Talapus Lake

Dan and I took a short hike in the Cascades to Talapus Lake. It was Thursday, a “Daddy day”. Dan asked some inquisitive questions on the way there and that led to a longer discussion about genetics and recessive and dominant traits. He’s such an inqusitive child.

Dragonfly

There were lots of dragonflies – look in the water next to the log in front.

Fat Salmon 2008

David — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 04:44:16 +0000

I swam one open water race this year – the Fat Salmon. It might well refer to me, but the name came long before I entered the race. I did the race two years ago, but just the one mile race. This year I trained harder and did the three+ miler.

Here is the finish for the Fat Salmon swim.

I started slow but tried to finish fast. I ended up being 22nd out of 98 swimmers – not my best result. My time was 1:26:27.
