We had the opportunity to spend time with photographer John Mireles a few weeks ago. John has been telling stories with his camera for 20 years. Extensive work for weddings, kids, and personal use.




Well, same place, different time. Do we ever leave our living room? Yes. On occasion for brief periods of time. The boys are starting to scoot around a bit.. milo in circles, hudson military-style. We used paper culture to send our holiday cards…super nice, well-designed service IMO. happy holidays!





Hard to believe the boys are already 6 months old! Latest pics. We’ve been working on a spectrum of concepts for a future remodel that would get us another bathroom + larger kitchen + storage area. Zoning + site conditions are making it tricky. In the meantime, I’ve been enjoying pinterest (when not in a 502 error state).






Hello + Hi! All has been not been quiet at le boeuf… it’s been an incredible 18 weeks with the addition of 2 little bundles of joy and passion, milo + hudson. I’ll continue to share progress on projects, inspiration, and the boys.
On that note, we picked up a fun, large quilted baby mat the boys are loving from Stacey at Peppermint Pinwheels via Bloesem who I found via A Merry Mishap.

Every project requires design, feasibility, benefit, time, resources, materials, and cost. Let’s face it, stuff costs money. But where does all the money go? Whether you have a budget, plan, cost-estimate, or you jump in and ask questions later, stuff just doesn’t add-up in the end. I’d like to share a little on how I track project costs —
I’ve been using mint.com to help plan and stay on top of each project for the house. It’s simple, automatic, and free. I’ve created a variety of home improvement goals I’m saving for… such as landscaping and decks… currently targeted for next summer.

Spotted this little guy out back today. We moved him back to the canyon.
