Halo Reach launch!

THe night Halo came out we rode a bus to The EMP in Seattle and got out to throw swag at a line of people that wrapped around the building. It was kind of surreal to see Eric be a rockstar amongst his fans.

Inside the EMP the public got to play the game for the ifrst time before it released that night at midnight. THere were raffles and costumes and a general good time had by all.












This is the Ultra Elite that was used in the live action trailer and it is Erics design and work, so he was super excited to see it.

Below is the live action trailers costume for Kat.

After the EMP we went to a private party at Eric's new office. The studio was decked out like a nightclub. We ate tasty food, danced and played the game a little.

The night ended at the Redmond Gamestop. At midnight we pulled up and got off the bus to over 800 screaming Halo Fans who had been waiting there as early as 2 o'clock in the morning.

Eric is wielding his marker

He signed posters, Halo encyclopedia's, helmets, and the big box is the legendary edition of the game.

so proud of what he's done and it was fun to be a part of it all.

1st day of school

Anna started school with enormous excitement. Once the kids lined up and she waved goodbye she started to look a little timid and did strange tip toe with her arms folded all the way to class.

Liam started his first day of school with excited nerves. He was most nervous about remembering his lunch number. I miss him everyday but he has a great teacher and cute kids in his class so I couldn't be happier.

A wee look at Scotland

Edinburgh castle rises right in the middle of the city. It's got a great history with many a battle fought here.
