Boise Wedding – In which I overcome trials and get an awesome car
Barely back from wedding festivities in Germany, I left DC again on Wednesday for another set of nuptials. This time with my younger brother, Mark, as the groom, and the setting Boise, Idaho. The trip out went as planned – I flew from DC to Chicago, then on to Boise, where I rented a car, […]
New York & DC – Two Snow Whites
Last night after seeing Tribes, we realized that the night was still young (it was only 9:45pm). So we ran back up to the movie theater at Lincoln Square and caught a screening of Mirror Mirror, the new Snow White movie with Julia Roberts and a handful of other interesting people. (And yes, if you’re keeping […]
Boise – Raclette Party
I gave Heather and Jordan a raclette grill for Christmas last month. It was a gift motivated, in part, by the fact that I genuinely thought they would enjoy eating raclette and having people over to share it with them. It was also motivated by my own interest in eating raclette — I knew that […]
Boise – Dancing Queen
Both Brynn and Shae are in ballet, and this week I had the great luck of attending one of their recitals! It was great fun to see them get dressed up in their costumes, makeup and hairdos. They were clearly in little girl heaven as they became the beautiful princesses of the day. Shae, loving […]
Boise – Life Aquatic
A new aquarium recently opened in Boise. It’s a relatively small affair, stuck in a random strip mall between a pawn shop and a party place. But it’s the only aquarium in town and had been getting a lot of attention among the younger-than-ten crowd. Since yesterday was a day off from school, Heather and I took the kids to check […]
Boise in the snow
Yesterday, after a great visit chez les parents, I flew up to Boise for Part II of this January vacation. Mark met me at the airport in his Jeep and gave me a ride to Heather’s house, where we had a fun afternoon playing with the kids (being the favorite uncle that I am, of course […]
Davis Siblings
I sure do love these people! Ashley, moi, Heather, Mark This is us last Monday at Heather’s house in Boise, right before I flew back to DC. (It’s actually Heather’s photo, but when she posted it to Facebook I thought it deserved a home here, too.)
Wall Colors (can you tell we’re related?)
I live in Washington, DC. My twin sister, Heather, lives in Boise, Idaho. Totally independently, and without any input from the other, we each painted accent walls in our homes. I brought some giant paint chips with me when I visited Heather last weekend to give her a sense of what I’d done. Strangely enough, […]
Boise – Fun in the sun
Another hot and sunny day in Idaho. Fortunately there’s a splash park just down the block! All that dancing has a way of catching up with little girls. Shae didn’t even make it through snacks before zonking out. Sleeping Beauty
Boise – Happy Birthday
Teya turns two today! Since Ammon had to leave this morning to fly back to New York, we celebrated yesterday. Don’t be fooled by the pink flower wrapping paper — the hit toy for this little girl was the green motorcycle. Proof that my parents understand how children work: After all of Teya’s birthday presents were distributed and […]
