Window Sitting

In my family's quest to be more green, the window of my childhood bedroom was taken out to be replaced by a more environment friendly one.

Brendan was assisting that day. He's excited.

Winter-time Stoppers

Over breakfast with my grandparents, the little coffee shop put stickers on the opening to stop spillage.

I thought they were cute.

Christmas Photos

I wanted to get more photos of the family during the holiday. However I was often met with these facial reactions

Why the camera? faces

Holiday break is ...



Naps on the couches

Holiday baking and holiday dish cleaning

Candy. Lots and lots of candy



Bouncing around the kitchen with the very old dog underneath your feet.



Seasons Greetings from the Burrow

Just some shots from life back at the Burrow.

Made about 20 so oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Took the photo, went to put the camera away and only two were still on the pan. Three months away and I've forgotten how quickly food goes in the Burrow.
(Read: the boys snatched up about 18 cookies between them in under five minutes)

 

At some point, when we, the kids, got old enough that mom trusted we wouldn't smash nice decorations, she bought a bunch of nice glass ornaments.
Some of those ornaments happen to be Santa heads. Which strikes me as odd.



Dad at work. I think he's a cool guy.



Non-Santa head ornaments, just to prove not all of them are Santa heads.



Happy Holidays

Macro of a Good Time

Bought a little macro lens accessory.

LOVE it.

Don't really know what I'm doing yet. But this is awesome.

Flying home

On the way home today, saw this business man put down his blackberry

and set aside the Tribune,

to watch the plane take off, pull away from the the ground.

It's nice to take a break,

remember what its like to be amazed by the ordinary again.
