Some end- and beginning-of-year pictures from the Shireys

Getting ready for our Christmas party with my French meetup, the boys wanted to get their own button-up shirts and ties. They learned how to tie a Windsor and are now pros.


One of the tables at the Microsoft Garage, which is a neat design I'm going to attempt to replicate at some point.


Speaking of the Garage, one of the guys I run into on a regular basis has this in his office/neighborhood at work.



Christmas Eve hike with the family to Central Peak. (We didn't actually go the whole way, which is okay.)


At the start of the new year, I was so close to having finished my French version of A Brief History of Time. Jake sent "Little Spot" with me to work so I could read with him on the bus. I don't know how much Little Spot understood.

Roasting a pound of coffee (which takes maybe an hour?)


Oh yeah, and buying another 14 pounds of coffee:

We bought Jake a new bike for Christmas, and bright and early the next day, he wanted to go out on a bike ride.
