It gets intense pretty quickly and then abates just as fast.
Colette officially became French today (she is, of course, already American). This is her passport photo. Going to the French Consulate is like stepping off Fifth Avenue into the magic wardrobe that ...
A box of baseballs arrived by mail (strange for a Frenchman who doesnt play baseball). A tiny Japanese personage sits newly perched on one of our windowsills. Xavier collects - unanticipated objects.
Today is the 5-year anniversary of our crazy wedding in Harlem. Now Colette has joined up and things look just tropical with her in the mix. The photo above is nice, but the photo below is more repre...
Truly living up to her nickname. This baby is killing me. In the best way.
Campfires up at the cabin in Logan Canyon in Northern Utah make you feel like there is nobody else in the world except those sitting in that circle of dancing golden glint under dangling stars.
Colettes cousins: Grace and Joyce. Although their coloring is not the same, Grace and Colette share a certain coiffure. Joyces hair is tamer; her imagination is not. For at least one year, she was Fe...
Colettes next stop: Northern Utah. Colettes adventures here include running into a couple of rattlesnakes. On a hike in Logan Canyon - where we climbed to great terraced crests - we stopped suddenly ...
Out the door......and off to win. Oh, baby.(I must say that no one actually played any slots - and we should not have let Colette touch anything to pose for the above photo. We left Las Vegas with a ...
But why?? We told Colette she could choose anywhere for her first safari. She chose Vegas. What can we say? She was obsessed with the alleged bed size (hotdog, was she impressed), by the glitz, the g...
Picture this. New York. A restaurant. Two friends. One baby. (Insert below baby into story). Friend 1 tells gripping story of a new opportunity for his burgeoning photography career. Friend 2 is enti...
Our amazing John explains his world: http://www.coolhunting.com/des ign/john-derian.php
(Yep, her hair just does that. Attempts to tame it are all in vain).
Xaviers lullabies are somewhat untraditional, bordering on renegade. He is featured above using a kazoo. The amazing thing about each of these techniques is that they seem to work...babies actually l...
The squatting monkey.
A little visit to our favorite shop and John made Marguerites eyes shine. Who has horses like this? Only one man in this city. And for Pork Chop, Xavier found contrasts that make her eyes wider than ...
Are these tulips for real? It was an NYC promenade of tulips and their blaze overawed me. What else has been making life grand lately? The sling my sister Julie made for me. It makes little Colette a...
Magical moment. To walk into Marguerites room to find Peau dÂne sitting there, ho-humming away. And then we have little Cotelette (as we like to refer to her = cutlet, lamb chop in French) just wasti...
The others still need to meet her, but about half have now come to breathe in the folds of little Colettes neck.
We have been waiting for this moment since Colette was born - the arrival of sa grande soeur, Marguerite. It is official: they like each other.
Colettes birth and the post-birth experience have been denaturing for me. I mean, Ive been changed - down to a cellular level. I guess that is it - a baby changes you fundamentally and being changed ...
