A perfect birthday. That’s the only way I can describe it.

Goodbye Twenty Twelve!
During the Christmas holiday, I reminisced about the highlights and milestones for the year. I thought of what I was thankful for: a beautiful wife who loves me more every year, three wonderful children who I’m privileged as their father, generous friends and family who give us their time to walk beside us in good times and bad, an enriching career that can fully support our family financially, and a hope and faith to guard and lead us through the darkness in the world.
In addition to all those blessings, a few new ones emerged in 2012.
Besides Christmas, Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday because it gathers our family together for a length of time longer than a quick meal, baby sitting exchange, errand, and the like. When I was growing up, I hated Thanksgiving because I always seemed to get in trouble during that holiday. In hindsight, I failed to see all the great times shared because all I focused, and even anticipated, on how I got trouble and scolded. But, a few years ago, when Jack started the initiative where he and I hosted the Thanksgiving meal, I’ve replaced the focus of getting in trouble with my parents to being a parent, and getting in trouble making up recipes in the kitchen Thanksgiving day.
This Halloween, Vernier’s marketing department decided to pay tribute to our CEO and co-founder, Dave Vernier, by imitating some of his most famous sayings—davisms.

Autumn Colors
While I miss the warmth of summer, the fall colors has given us amazing portrait backgrounds.

Sisters at Sunset
This is one of my favorite photos of our girls. I love the innocence of their hand holding, Kadie intrigued by the dust kicked up, and the sunset light bringing out the debri in the air.

Remembering My Focus
This week, I had the pleasure of reading a programmer/CEO’s blog, The Naive Optimist. It inspired me to examine how I spend my days—and subsequently—my life. I got a kick-start in re-evaluating how I spend my time.

Expressive and Impressive
Two things make me smile about this collage. First and most obvious, I enjoy the demonstration of Kadie’s range of expressions. Second, I’m impressed by Jenni’s photographic skills.

McPherson Family
It’s always fun to have a laid-back photo shoot, especially for our first one of the year. Some times, photo jobs are a guilty pleasure: going on a date with Jenni without kids, sharing a hobby we love, and crafting pictures for our friends.
