Christmas is not over for us yet! We start a little early and end a little late 🙂 Christmas started when we went to Buffalo to visit with my family and will end on Tuesday when we leave from New Hampshire where we were visting with James’ family. While the gift opening part is over, […]

The two little ones I babysit have quickly become Brayden’s best friends. He spends large part of each day with them, since we arrive at their house before 8:30 and leave around 4:30. Sometimes when we leave, he gets all worked up and says their names over and over. I guess he really loves them, […]

Now that I’m getting more acquainted with photoshop, I’m really enjoying everything that it can do. Don’t get me wrong–I still probably only know of 2% of it’s capabilities. . . I really need to take a class. But I’m impressed by just it’s basics and how helpful it’s been for my photo editing. I […]

Well, it’s nearly official. James and I have sold our house. There are a couple of issues with this–first being that I’m sad that it sold (secretly I was hoping that it never would, and we’d just have to take it off of the market!). Second, we know the people who are buying it, so […]

Our Thanksgiving was spent in the warm company of Southern hospitality 🙂 We spent four days down in Virginia visiting with James’ family. There were MANY of us staying at his Aunt and Uncle’s house–good thing it’s quite large–and we enjoyed hanging out with everyone. I do have to admit that the ride was definitely […]

I did it! I ran in my first road race. With the stubborn pounds still left on by my pregnancy–let’s face it–I’ve been slightly lazy about losing it, I decided that maybe it’s time to do something. So I have been running a little bit, not too much to kill myself, but enough to get […]

Hey there. I realize I haven’t blogged in quite some time. I think it’s because I haven’t taken too many pictures lately. I need to get on that! Here is some updated news. . . 1. I have started coaching again. Last year I started coaching for a travel volleyball club called Volley FX. This […]

James and I are doing what needs to be done. We’re selling our house. Our realtor is coming over tomorrow at six to do paperwork. We aren’t so sure still, but we think it’s the right thing to do. People don’t normally downsize, and I realize that we are doing something normally unheard of, but […]

Brayden is so hard to take pictures of these days when I’m trying to get him to pose! I didn’t end up getting a few cute ones while I practiced for a photo shoot I did last Friday at an elementary school. I was trying out my new backdrop and using these big leaves that […]
