“last summer” as in 2010!
I found a roll of film recently… I keep my to-be-developed film on a shelf near the front door with my to-be-read-next books. Somehow this roll of film from summer 2010 got lost in between the books and we just re-discovered it when we were getting the film from [...]
One of my favorite newer Autumn traditions has been visiting a corn maze!!
This is something neither Andrew nor I did growing up, but when we lived in Arizona, Michelle introduced us to the wonder and glory of navigating a corn maze after dark …
Last year (2010) Tucson corn maze (2007) Tucson corn [...]
When we arrived on Friday, I read in the check-in materials that we needed to turn the water heater on. Every single outlet and appliance had an on/off switch – including the water heater.
So, since there would be 6 of us showering, I turned on the water heater ASAP Friday night.
But then [...]
Babies, EVERYWHERE!
Tons of our friends are having babies this year (or next year, or last year, even). I guess we’re at ‘that age’ …
A couple weeks ago, I went to a baby shower for our friend Betsy and her to-be daughter Elora … Such an adorable pink, princessy themed baby shower! Betsy’s [...]
As a wedding photographer, sometimes I take (and keep) photos that are not flattering to the photo subject. That may seem unprofessional of me, I know.
I don’t even care.
Those are real moments that make the wedding (or party or portrait) genuine and not staged.
I love moments like that.
SO! In honor [...]
My mom is always finding some kind of travel deal, so about a week ago she and my dad came out to La Jolla where they had a free room at a hotel.
Deal city.
Andrew and I drove down on the Saturday to spend the afternoon and evening with them…
Time for the [...]
She gives really good “stink eye” …. you should see the photo I have of her on my phone that appears when she calls…
Even though it seems like her craft room is just for show right now, she really is quite crafty.
I’ve lost track … how many Sundays in a row now have we had guests? 4? 5?
On this particular Sunday, the guests were MY guests (instead of “ours”) … and it was kind of a ‘working date’ ….
My blog friends Kam and Justine came all the way up from OC/Riverside-ish for food [...]
…. although, can you really call it a dinner party when we have to eat in shifts because the grill won’t hold all 9 steaks and we only have 5 dining room chairs…. ?
…. and if Andrew and I have to quickly do dishes after dinner so we have enough clean forks for [...]
Memorial Day used to be fun …. when I had the day off.
But since we moved back to California, Andrew has had to work that day fairly often, so I have volunteered to work the last few years (my office needs 3 people to cover the day).
It’s not terrible. I get extra [...]
Daniel came back in town for a couple weeks …
He took the train from Chicago to L.A. over a couple days (sounds like fun!), so we’ve been trying to hang out with him as much as possible (obviously, since he’s awesome).
The Sunday afternoon/evening before Memorial Day we had Daniel and Jenae over [...]
I know he comes off as shy, but he has an actor buried deep within him.
He is the same age as Disneyland
He used to wear white overalls and had a mustache!
He can’t beat me at Tetris
He [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!!
Ok, on Sunday, imagine I told you happy mother’s day …
Truth-be-told, I almost lost Mother’s Day this year … I am used to Mother’s Day being the weekend closest to my dad’s birthday – except this year, it’s not.
Oh well. I found it again.
Andrew and I spent the [...]
We’re getting so so close to our Alaska cruise planned for this summer!
I’ve been trying to remember the details of the last Alaska cruise I took …. in 2003 with my parents and brother.
I was living in Arizona at the time (going to ASU) and my family was all still living in [...]
Last weekend was both Andrew’s dad’s birthday and Easter, so we trekked on up to Santa Clarita (in the new car) for Sunday afternoon …
Andrew and I looked adorable as usual …
