Remember WAY back in those sciences classes, learning about genetics and punnet squares and percentages?  For some reason, they always intrigued me.  I used to sketch little punnet squares on my science notes, figuring out the percentage that I actually would EVER have a child with blonde hair and blue eyes.  I have both brown […]

I do have a lot of favorite pictures, but seriously, these two might be in the running for a very close first place.  I can’t believe I was lucky enough to get Carter during the miniscule amount of time between when I put them on him and when he ripped them off and stuck them […]

Jen and John’s wedding was a nice change of scenery for us, since the ceremony was outside.  It’s always nice to have nature’s noises muffling the sound of the camera’s shutter clicking through the service.  I always feel badly about it–obviously there isn’t anything that can be done–but being outside does help the situation a […]

The two little loves of my life.   I heart them.

We are going on a little trip this weekend.  From tonight until Sunday.  Just a little trip.  You know. . . a couple days of rest, relaxation, and some time with our best friends.  A little trip to the woods to “camp” (but not real camping) . . . it’s actually a house.  On a […]
