Honeymoon

We went on our honeymoon in December, and we took a lot of photos. Here are the highlights!



What's the best vacation you've been on?

Cupcake Stickers

This week, I mailed a few birthday surprises. Lately, I've been terrible about birthdays (as in failing to get gifts for the people I love), but this reminded me how awesome they are. It's fun to choose a prize and it's also exciting to find that a gift is well-received.

I included teeny notes with the presents, and I stuck these super cool cupcake stickers to the envelopes. They really looked pretty wonderful, if I do say so myself.

Autumn 2011

Autumn is here, for real. Halloween has come and gone (yay candy!), and now it's dark when I leave work in the evening. Thank goodness for my new key chain flashlight, since I can't see our doorknob without it!



Today was quite lovely, but we've have several cold days and a whole lotta rain. Even some snow here in Belmont (much more to the west).

How's autumn treating you?

Two Weeks Ago

Two weeks ago, we attended Eric's 10 year high school reunion. It was a beautiful weekend, and we picked pumpkins with a few of his former classmates and went for a hike on a trail near our apartment.

Lovely, lovely fall. 

Cagney

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting my co-worker's dog, Cagney.

 

He's a funny little dog. They suit each other well. 

Sunset at Vineyard Haven Yacht Club

I took this picture in July. It was a perfect evening, and I watched as the sky turned from daytime blue to pink to deep blue.

I'll be visiting the Vineyard again soon, but not this weekend. Even though I wish I was there, I'm looking forward to a weekend full of apple picking and applesauce making.

Happy Friday, everybody! What are your weekend plans? If you're looking for some eye candy, check out my boards on pinterest.

A note: So sorry for the long breaks between posts. I'm still figuring out work/life balance, and I'm working on getting this blog back into the routine. I miss writing here and I miss taking pictures regularly.

Oh Hello!

I've been neglecting this little blog for far too long. I can't make any promises, but I'd like to make it back here more frequently. I miss it, and I haven't been dedicating nearly enough time to my photography hobby of late! But today I do have something to share.

I was in my hometown for the weekend, and had a wonderful visit with Sara + Audrey. I can't believe how quickly Miss Audrey's growing; since I see her so sporadically she's really different with each visit. It's pretty amazing, actually, to see how quickly babies change.

Together, they're all smiles. It's really very sweet.

Also, I've been blogging regularly at Everything Little Miss, so be sure to check there for updates! Here are some things you may have missed (that I blogged about at ELM):

• a few wedding photos
• Eric's graduation
• our big move

Dyed Eggs

We dyed 24 eggs on Saturday, and we tried marbleizing.We had sort of a rocky start, but we figured it out by the end. And now our eggs are so much more exciting!

I think that we should dye eggs more than once a year. You know the saying: A colorful fridge is a happy fridge. Okay, I just made that up, but it's totally true!

One Month Tulips

Tuesday, April 19th, was one month since our wedding! Holy moly, folks. We've already been married for a month.

And how super sweet was it to come home to a vase full of these pretty orange tulips to celebrate the happy occasion? Answer: SUPER super sweet.

Glittering Sunlight

For the past nine years, February 7th has been an emotional day for me, and it has become a day of reflection. 

I took this photo from the bus stop on the corner of 34th & Lexington in Manhattan, when I was there for work last week. The way the sun lit up the street and took center stage in the hustle and bustle was a little bit magical. That last part is why I'm including this photo in this post; it felt like somebody, somewhere, added a little glitter to the sun, just for me. If that's true, I know exactly who it was.

When I left for work this morning, the sun was again sparkling + shining brightly, so I took my cue from Mother Nature and smiled. Today was definitely a happy day, one filled with fond memories and lots of gratitude.

One Month Later

We visited with Sara + Marcel again yesterday, and we got to see Audrey exactly one month after we first met her (I wrote about it here and here).

This time I held her for a long time, and she's just so cute!

She slept most of the time we were there, but Eric held her while she was wide awake.

Look! Isn't that just the sweetest? They're a real little family, and they're all getting comfortable with each other. 

Unfortunately I didn't get a good one of Sara holding her, but she was happiest in her mama's arms.

We're thinking we should have a standing date on the 29th of every month. :)
