Ascent / Descent. An allegory. Just kidding. It means what it looks like: go find something to climb. Preferably in your pajamas. Then find the fastest, funnest way down. Repeat. Go. ____ Thank you, dear @matesofstate (and @belleandsebastian ) for letting us borrow the wonderful melody. #jxil05 #waterslideminuswater #long2015 #cirquedusoleil

Just because you don't have a court doesn't mean you can't play tennis. Sometimes you just gotta get up and go, cause you can do it. And everything's gonna be alright. And maybe when I get a free afternoon I'll build a #tennis court. ____ #Wimbledon #andreagassi #jxil05 #mtnorway #long2015 Thanks for the tunes, #jasonlytle

A visual depiction of Fatherhood. You keep trying. You keep improving. Every once in a while magic happens. Or, scientific breakthrough. And whatever you're doing, you try to have fun doing it. Thanks, @countessbecca , for being such a rad person to parent with. Thanks to my dad, who is not on Instagram, for being such a great example of how to make all kinds of things fun. And thank you, me, for being really good at missing turns and getting lost and thereby stumbling upon all kinds of great places, like newly-open water fountains. I cannot pass one by without stopping. Just for a minute or two...or an hour. ____ #galileogalilei #portlandparksandrec #44portland #portlandne #jxil04 #long2015

Our daughter said recently: I think our place is like a nature resort because so many birds and animals and bugs like to come here. Considering a Mama Bird just set up a homestead off our front porch, it's tough to disagree. So adorable! ____ #long2015 #babybird

I'd like to concentrate on the fact that he's wearing a helmet. ____ #jxil04 #long2015 #mtnorway #longboard
