We woke up to the first snow of this season on Saturday morning. It was beautiful. I’m hoping we get something like this again on Christmas. The View from our deck. The Snow plow making it’s way into our neck of the woods..and I mean that literally....

that I’d much rather take photos than blog. It’s more fulfilling for me to create memories through photography than the written word. It’s actually something I get excited about every day! I *think* it’s my thing! At least for now… Oh...

For a week straight our 5 year old son has been asking us to go camping. Of course we didn’t think our two boys were ready to venture too far from home. Our solution? Setting up a tent in the yard and calling it CAMPING. We even had a fire complete with...
