A Grand Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful thanksgiving.   We drove down to the country to Grandma & Grandpa’s house and got a bonus Grandad visit too!   Grandad celebrated with us for a day or two before heading on to Blacksburg to take in the last Hokie game of the season.   We were thankful to have all the...

Writer’s Block = Photopalooza

I’ve had writer’s block lately and haven’t been able to make myself post.   I have lots of stories to share in my head but haven’t been able to get them out of my head and online. So, in lieu of news, I’ll simply share some amazing family photos we took at Great Falls a...

Portrait of an American Family

Some friends came to dinner last night.  We haven’t seen them in forever and had a wonderful time.   They took this picture (which I fiddled with using Picnik), and I love it.  As I look it at, I am struck by several things. I wish I knew the secret to getting all 3...

12 Years of Bledded Wiss

This weekend marked our 12 year anniversary.  We celebrated by having a yard sale and convincing some friends to keep the kids (overnight!). Once we were footloose and fancy free, we cashed in on two Groupons I recently scored.   Without telling Mike our destination, I directed him into Clarendon where we found street parking. ...

Farewell, Old Friend

Today has been a low-key, kick it around the house, kind of day.  While we were in the backyard this morning, I reminded Mike that we should take a picture of his motorcycle so we could list it on Craigslist.  He agreed, and so we did. His bike is a 1998 Honda Hawk GT...

WFMW:  Date Night on the Cheap

Date Night is important, but unfortunately, there’s no money in the budget right now for babysitters.  So we had to get creative and improvise. The way we currently achieve “Date Night” is by designating one night of the week as Date Night.  It’s currently Tuesdays.  We told our kids (ages 6, 4 and 2)...

A new Little Cabin in the Woods

I’ve mentioned before, that we typically go to a small cabin out near Front Royal over New Years with friends from college.  The good thing about the cabin was it was free, not too far away, and “rustic” enough that it was okay for everyone to bring their 17 dogs (I exaggerate, a tad). ...

We had a super duper Christmas.  And now that 2010 is bearing down on us, I figured I better get these memories chronicled.  Prepare for an overload of photos. This is what the week before Christmas was like … Sunday: we made decorated a gingerbread house. It turned out pretty good! ...
