Thanksgiving

This is the card Noah made for Kevin. It's going to be late, but we're still sending it because it's so CUTE! This is the first time I've seen Noah draw a person before!

Tristan looked adorable in his special "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit I got him from Babies R Us. We had a little Thanksgiving celebration. Vita and I cooked a big dinner and had Brandon over to help us eat it all. Every one of our other friends went out of town to their family's homes to celebrate. I didn't take many pictures because my camera's been acting a bit crazy lately. I saw my same Kodak in the Wal-Mart black Friday ad. It was actually the next step up from my current one... and it was an awesome sale. I told Vita I wanted it really bad. She went out and bought it for me! I was completely shocked, almost cried I was so happy.

I LOVE this new camera. It can take the old camera's batteries, charge on the same docking station, has all the same buttons in the same places, works with the same cables. This one is a 7.1 megapixel (my other one is a 6.1). It takes much better videos AND it has a panoramic setting. This is going to be very handy for when we need to put the house up for sale. I can take 3 pictures and stitch them together to show the entire room. I can't say much else, baby just woke up. It's been a great weekend thus far :) This picture of Tristan is just funny.

Holy video selection!! And i have tio agree with you on the panoramic option, I love it too. My old camera had it and i loved it. I think its easier to post pics on here too. Its one whole room, not 4 different photos. Ok I'm rambling!
How are you doing other wise? We haven't talked in awhile.

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
