This picture cracks me up! The kids obviously know the drill and dad is not quite on the same page as the rest of us for photos. The whole ‘be cool, not camera aware’ thing is so natural for Merrik and Maliea at this point. But, even though my husband is a fantastic creative director, [...]

Dad didn’t have to go to work today. It was such a nice surprise to all of us!! He had the day off to spend with his kiddos because he has been slaving late into the night for months on end. We spent the morning at the tidepools at Treasure Island in Laguna Beach with [...]

[life] work day
![[life] work day](http://kristiannekochphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/dadswork_collage01-150x150.jpg)
Merrik has been asking to go to work with Jim for months now and yesterday he finally gave in. Merrik was bouncing off the walls all morning. About 8:30am they were off. I checked in later and all was going well even though Jim wasn’t getting any work done. Now he knows how I feel! [...]
winter at the beach

Today was a gorgeous day at the beach. Merrik has been begging us to go to the beach but it’s been so cold. He loves to go in the ocean no matter what but I just can’t psych myself into it when it’s cold and damp out. I took him last week and it was [...]
day after

we had a beautiful but very cold day after Christmas and Merrik insisted on going in the ocean. So, Jim, Merrik and I headed down to clock tower beach to put our feet in the water. We stepped in for no more than 5 minutes and we were all shivering from the very cold wind. [...]
gap: one track minds
At the beach, again! The ocean is all Merrik will talk about. Well, that and what he wants for Christmas, but that’s a whole other post. We have been to the beach a lot lately. I think that’s why I am so behind on my posts! This past weekend we finally all made it to [...]
thought: 6 years

Well, it’s our 6 year anniversary this weekend. We’ve decided to get away to Encinitas since Jim doesn’t have to work. It’s not far from San Clemente and it’s still near the beach. A change of city will be refreshing. Even though our home has a better view than most hotels at the beach, it [...]
gap: remembering summers past

As if I don’t have enough images of this summer, I decided to pull out a few of summers past-before Maliea-to recall the fun we had with Merrik when he was 4 months (at Cottons), 1 year (surfing in Hawaii) and 2 years (at Two Harbors with Gramma and Grampa on Pelican).
