I love those photos! I like Riley’s “form” in the first photos compared to Dylan’s spread legs and arms. :0) But the 4th picture is my favorite – I love Dylan’s face!

Love!!!

I demand to know what kind of camera you are using so I can ask Santa for it. Those shots are so great.

*snicker* GREAT shots! Made me giggle…thank you!

These are great photos! I totally remember fooling around like this with my Dad when I was little. Some of my best childhood memories are goofy moments like this.

Great pictures. Seriously amazing camera! What kind is it?

This makes me feel like maybe some day I could actually have boys, and survive the experience. :) Great pics!

love dylan’s expressions.

Made. Of. Awesome.

Wheeee! Looks so fun! I love how Dilly can’t keep his eyes open, even while filled with glee.

What lighting were you using?!? My house is so dim/yellow at night I couldn’t get a sharp picture of my couch, much less flying child OVER couch!

Camera! Please tell! (Oh, and amazing shots. I am filled with envy at your family-filled fun.)

Hey, for those who asked, it’s a Nikon D70 with a speedlight flash aimed at the ceiling.

the hat series is the best thing i’ve seen on the internet in a long time. these are gold.

…re: other comments about what camera – MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY! I’m assuming you are using an external bounce flash!?! Geez I HOPE I am getting one for Christmas…maybe I’ll ask “Santa” right now…

…how did I miss your YELLOW NOTE above?! thanks!!!!

Thanks for the camera info. Thanks for the pics!

Niiiiiiice

Dylan’s expression – priceless! <3

Their expressions in the hat pictures remind me of the Cupcake Cannon:

sooooo cute!!!!!!!

I love just seeing the bottom of their feet as they fly through the air. So cute!

The last one is hilarious!

Oh my gosh, I love those faces!! haha!! Dylan is priceless!!

4th picture down! Oh, Dylan!

Every time I read your blog I am blown away by how CLEAN everything looks. I have two small children and there is simply crap EVERYWHERE. I don’t even remember what a clear surface looks like. And we have dust bunnies the size of jackelopes. How do you do it?

So you have a cool camera but so do I (Nikon D5000) and I don’t take pictures anywhere *near* as good as you. I feel so inadequate, especially since I took a lot of photography in college… granted that was a little while ago and really before digital cameras were being used… OK, I’m going to shut up now because I’m just starting to feel worse about myself.

I like you guys.

who knew a flying hat could be so FUN!

love your holiday letter – that is totally the way to go with those.

These are fan-tastic.

Those are just the BEST pictures! How awesome! That fourth one HAS to be entered into a contest – it would be a sure winner.

Ha! Those are fantastic! I love Dylan’s face in all of them, but #4 is the best.

Super awesome. Dylan’s expression in the fourth photo is classic. Happy Holidays!

Ha! Came from a big family and this is *precisely* the types of shenanigans we would get up to. Great pics. Happy holidays and thanks for the laughs and the great writing. Cause I’m a writer and I wince in pain at the effortless pizzaz you throw into your writing like so many chocolate sprinkles. Gold plated, 24-carrot freakin chocolate sprinkles :)

Me and my friends still play this game, we just call it “blind pick-axe-catch”. The management turns a blind eye towards our probable work-intoxication in exchange for our ambivalence about their cancelling raises, bonuses, and pending next week, our pay.
