Hello World

Dylan Marlowe Davis, born 9/26/2011.

It's been a busy year! We got pregnant, were quasi-homeless for three months, moved into a new apartment, and welcomed our son Dylan to the world—all while continuing to seek out new projects and adventures along the way.

So real life eclipsed our internet life for a while, but we hope to share some of what we've been up to over the last few months—and we definitely will be sharing our adventures going forward!

xoxo!
Matthew, Sandy, and Dylan

For the Dad-To-Be

Photo by Two Paper Dolls

I spied this sweet card from Two Paper Dolls at the National Stationery Show last month and knew I had to get one for Matthew for his first (almost) Father's Day. So happy that he's proudly displaying it at his desk!

Happy Father's Day again, love—I know you're going to be a great dad!

Big News Times Two!

First, we're really honored to be featured in Anthology's Issue No. 3, which is on sale now! The theme is "Life Is A Party", so we had a great time talking to Kate about music and DJing, plus sharing a day-in-the-life as we got ready for a night at Debaser. You can see a sneak peek of the issue online here, or find out where to pick up your own copy here.

And the second bit of news is: there are actually three people in the Anthology photo series — we're expecting a baby boy in late September, and Sandy was two months pregnant at the time of the shoot! We're beyond excited and can't wait to meet the newest member of our family!! (And we think the article will be such a neat little time capsule for our little one someday.)

There's no hiding it anymore, as we're now about five months along! (We've been having fun taking weekly belly photos, which you can see here or here.)

Scenes from Long Beach

My family moved to Long Beach recently, and although I grew up in Southern California I'd never spent much time in that area before. So Matthew and I decided to do some exploring when were in town for Thanksgiving, and kind of fell in love with the place.

Tacoma

A few images from a recent trip to Tacoma for a family birthday—we had never been before and got a little snap-happy! (You can see the rest here and here.)
