Before we left Pennsylvania last summer we did a family photo session in Harrisburg to celebrate my son’s first birthday and commemorate our time in the state. I never got around to posting the photos online so I was excited to see our photographer blogged them this week. Take a look!

Quote from Company of One ?

If you have an idea for starting a business that requires a lot of money, time, or resources, you’re mostly likely thinking too big. Your idea can be scaled down to the basics – do it now, do it on the cheap, and do it quickly – and then iterated upon. Start without automation or infrastructure or overhead. Start by helping one customer. Then another. This puts your focus on helping people immediately with what you’ve got available to you right now. Work on things like sales funnels and automation when it no longer makes sense to personalize your interactions with customers in surprising and delightful ways.

I love having a wood burning fireplace at our new house. I got a wood splitter for Christmas and with all the wood on our property we’re set for years.

The Oh Hellos Christmas Extravaganza

It’s a lot more effort to go to shows these days but I’m so glad we made the effort for this one.

We dropped Curren off for a night at a friend’s house, got a dog sitter, and booked at hotel in Indy for a night away just the two of us to ring in the Christmas season at the The Oh Hellos Christmas Extravaganza.

Here’s some photos the band tweeted out:

Curren is like Sonic the Hedgehog these days. Drop him down and he starts racing off as fast as he can. We had a blast at the park yesterday letting him go as far as he wanted.
