GOODBYE TRADITION...

This may be the saddest one yet. We all look forward to bringing the whole family to Germany in 2014.

BLURRED LINES...

MOURNING THE DAY...

Due to the kids going back to school, Captain Houdini is getting less love during the day. He has started up with some bad habits that hopefully he will be able to break soon.

VEGETARIAN REASON #545...

Delicious Sunday evening amuse bouche. Lovash, Feta, Mint, Sweet Onions, Persian Cucumbers and Walnut - accompanied by a Vodka Paradise that carried some serious punch.

DOG'S EYE VIEW...

It was just Captain Houdini and I for the evening and we made sure to spend it relaxing.

WONDER TWIN POWERS...

THE CHAMP IS HERE...

Matisse decided to take on the challenge of learning how to ride a bike. He was gifted a bike two years ago from my parents and even though it was greatly appreciated, he was firm on not riding the bike if we took off the training wheels. This morning there was a change of heart and Matisse embraced the idea of going to the park to see if some magic was possible. Perhaps it was something in the air or just the right time because Matisse took to the fight vs fear and came out throwing bombs. The fight was over in about 5 minutes with Matisse officially becoming a two wheel rider.

IN THE MOMENT...

HERO GEAR...

In an effort to support Captain Houdini's dream to become a super hero, Mika has started to create a hero line called HOUDINI*SOUL. Her first attempt for a starter outfit (shown in the photo) is a tad tight but well on the way for an initial creation. Stay tuned for a release date for the official fashion show.

INTRODUCING: CAPTAIN HOUDINI
