366 -- A Daily Dose

Me and you and Friendly's

2008-06-04T13:19:00.000-07:00

It is our right as parents to embarrass you as much as possible.

I would have hated having this done to me...however, I laughed entirely way too hard when it happened to you.

Gas

2008-05-30T20:15:00.000-07:00

Despite the price of gas...when your husband tells you to get gas in your car...don't argue...just do it.

Or you'll be stranded on the street with no gas left and he'll get angry.

The Lake House

2008-05-16T07:34:00.000-07:00

I totally loved shooting a wedding here. It was absofreakingloutely fabulous in every way possible! The food...the location...the party...I totally love this picture taking thing I do!

Happy Momma's Day

2008-05-11T07:27:00.000-07:00

Have you ever noticed how insanely difficult it is to come up with a gift for grandmas? They seem to have everything. This year, many oohs and ahhs were heard over this gift.

As you ran by my desk

2008-05-08T07:32:00.000-07:00

...I snapped this shot. I totally love it. Indicative of your zany personality.

Show-n-Tell

2008-05-07T07:31:00.000-07:00

This week's theme was something about your mom. He told the class that he loved being silly with his mom.

Cake

2008-05-06T07:20:00.000-07:00

There's nothing better than cake...unless it's ice cream cake...
and you can share it.

UGH!

2008-05-02T07:46:00.000-07:00

Most of April consisted of this...

A nasty virus that destroyed my motherboard and fried my hard drive.

Eastern Conference Playoffs

2008-05-02T07:04:00.000-07:00

Last night, the boys were invited to a game. Being non-sporty boys, they had fun chillaxin' in the box seats and eating popcorn and playing with balloon swords. I throughly enjoyed my night alone with Grey's Anatomy.

Let's just skip over April

2008-05-01T07:02:00.000-07:00

As you can see, there was never a dull moment...

For my sister

2008-03-09T18:08:00.000-07:00

Because she loves coconut. I thought of her the entire time I made it...and while I ate a huge piece of it. Yum!

Escrime

2008-03-06T18:04:00.000-08:00

Much like Zorro...just without the cape and the feathered hat.

Great Googly Moogly

2008-03-05T18:02:00.000-08:00

I couldn't resist changing my focal point. Just pure craziness...the things that happen in our kitchen late at night.

St. Mary's

2008-03-04T17:57:00.000-08:00

Everyday I pass St. Mary's Church. In the middle of a bustling city, this amazingly beautiful church stands.

A new level of marketing

2008-03-03T17:55:00.000-08:00

Honk if you see me rolling by!

Ummm...Ikea Goodness

2008-03-02T17:53:00.000-08:00

Ikea is a dream come true. We're lucky in Philly to have two.

It's all fun and games...

2008-03-01T06:27:00.000-08:00

...'til someone gets poked in the eye with the lasso.

Note -- Despite all the dramatics and tears and blaming, no little boys were really harmed in the poking.

Sharkie lovin'...

2008-03-01T05:41:00.000-08:00

We have nicknames for each other...terms of endearment, I'd call them. Mine is Sharkie or Finnie. Why? Because I'm prone to bite your head off for no particular reason...and I have smooth, slick skin that's really tough to get through.

Mike found some love at Toys R' Us.

Late night snack

2008-02-29T22:08:00.000-08:00

9:00 pm on a Wednesday night. A full hour past your bedtime but it was a riveting episode of How It's Made.

Serpent Park

2008-02-28T06:17:00.000-08:00

Taking a short cut the other day from the main road I found this awesome industrial park with a ginormous sea serpent in front of it's building. The area behind the white wall has all sort of photographical goodies. I'll definately be back for some shots!

Titi

2008-02-27T06:15:00.000-08:00

Nicholas ran up to me and said, "take a picture of Titi!" So I did. Titi has been his preferred stuffed animal to rest with at school.

I was bored in the car

2008-02-26T06:06:00.000-08:00

I get restless in the car when I'm not driving. I push buttons, play with the window and occassionally open the window in the freezing cold to shoot pictures.

The weird places you fall asleep in

2008-02-25T07:11:00.000-08:00

You were angry because you didn't get to watch television. Really, though, you were just tired and grumpy. I was sitting on the couch and knew that you were under me. I figured you were pouting, however, when I got up, called your name and you didn't answer I knew that you wer fast asleep. So, I left you there. And you sleep like that for 2 hours.

Happy You You!

2008-02-24T06:13:00.000-08:00

You...at the ripe old age of 6.

Going out for more fun

2008-02-23T06:26:00.000-08:00

It's been love and hate with the sled.

Snow bunnies

2008-02-23T06:22:00.000-08:00

We finally got some snow this season and definately took advantage of it.

His favorite thing to do

2008-02-22T07:25:00.000-08:00

Even more so than riding a sled, he loves to shovel the snow. His dad is beyond thrilled.

My own snowman

2008-02-22T07:02:00.001-08:00

The first day, this whole winter season, where we've had any sort of significant snow fall. It's a snow day!

The Pennsylvania Countryside

2008-02-18T08:04:00.000-08:00

When I say that we live in the middle of nothing, I mean it. This farm is about a block away from our house.

Conshohocken

2008-02-15T20:03:00.000-08:00

From inside the parking garage...I just had to soak up the yummy light. Gotta love lens flare!

Commute

2008-02-13T08:01:00.000-08:00

I need to invest in EZ Pass.

i heart mugs

2008-02-07T07:58:00.000-08:00

An airport purchase by an old friend of mine. I've answered this question so many times...so many different ways.

Going, Going, Gone

2008-02-06T19:50:00.000-08:00

The Souderton Fire Brigade...

We live a block away. When we hear the siren's starting to blare, it's a mad dash to the front porch to wave to the firemen.

I heard the siren's blasting while I was in the car, a block away from the house. I ran in, grabbed the camera, grabbed the kids and snapped this as they were whizzing by.

Evil

2008-02-03T07:56:00.000-08:00

It's that time of year again. This year, we've seen them everywhere. And we swear that every year, the amount of cookies in each box is less and less. $10 for three boxes of cookies.

New digs...

2008-01-28T07:59:00.000-08:00

Back to the daily 9-5 grind (although not really). Before the recession is in full swing I thought I'd get prepared and went back to work for a more secure income.

It all started with this stapler

2008-01-24T06:26:00.000-08:00

M: Does anyone have a stapler?
I: Yeah, here.

with a weird look on his face...

M: Nerd.

And that's how our love blossomed 7 years ago. I was the only nerd at the evening college with a stapler.

The stapler always sits on my desk. More than a picture, it's a constant reminder of how he and I became us.

Meet Chicken

2008-01-23T07:52:00.000-08:00

This is Chicken. He arrived at our house on Christmas Day after Santa told Sydney that she was going to get a chicken since she was too shy to tell him what she really wanted.

Where the magic happens

2008-01-22T08:29:00.000-08:00

My space downstairs...

Go, Go Power Rangers

2008-01-21T15:37:00.000-08:00

Jackpot! We went to the thrift store to donate some of our "stuff" that's been accumulating in the basement. When we did a walk through of the store, I spotted a bag filled with these goodies. A grab bag of Power Rangers. Needless to say, many, many hours were then spent with the new bag of treasures.

Sunday morning, rain is falling...

2008-01-20T09:34:00.000-08:00

A riveting episode of The Backyardigans

Legoland

2008-01-19T14:15:00.000-08:00

It's been a lego kind of day...

Blackie

2008-01-18T19:31:00.000-08:00

When we first got Blackie and the four other rats, I was totally freaked out! However, they're not bad at all! They're quite funny, do tricks and are somewhat potty trained (thanks to Mike). Blackie likes to sniff around...especially around my desk since he knows I always have a stash of chocolate.

Dashing through the snow

2008-01-17T20:24:00.000-08:00

This is my favorite place in Souderton. This curvy road that leads to the highway...lined with trees and a little creek. However, we didn't expect that this mini snow storm that we had would turn this road into a scary nightmare as we inched our way through to the other side.

Back home

2008-01-15T07:22:00.000-08:00

Coming in for a landing. So nice to be back home!

Lake Worth Pier

2008-01-14T07:19:00.000-08:00

The pier we used to hang out at. Demolished by one of the hurricane's last year.

4938 Wallis Road

2008-01-14T07:06:00.000-08:00

It took me two times around the block to figure out where our house used to be. This is the land I grew up on...where our house used to stand. Palm Beach International Airport bought the house...the entire neighborhood, actually, then tore them all down in order to expand.

I went back to my sister's house that afternoon and together we came to the conclusion that we don't have a picture of the house. It never occured to any of us to take one.

What about Bob

2008-01-13T06:56:00.000-08:00

An awesome, ginormous mural of Bob Marley at the house where the baby shower was held.

Ready in pink

2008-01-12T06:51:00.000-08:00

I really hope it's a girl. She was showered with a metric ton of pink cutie stuff to welcome her little bundle with.

Homer

2008-01-11T06:50:00.000-08:00

And I'm not even a cat person. They give me the itchies.

Leaving on a jet plane

2008-01-10T06:46:00.000-08:00

On our way to Florida

Towards the East

2008-01-10T06:41:00.000-08:00

This morning, when I opened up the curtains in the living room, I saw this. I love having my desk near the window...I get to see this every morning : )

32

2008-01-09T06:40:00.000-08:00

Today you turn 32. It's true that guys are like wine...they do get better with age : )

On the eve of 32

2008-01-08T06:37:00.000-08:00

I snapped this of you when we were out this afternoon...right before you yelled at me for bringing the camera along. I totally *heart* this picture of you!

Chocolate love

2008-01-07T06:38:00.000-08:00

This jar was full less than a week ago. However, there are little hands that like to pass by my desk and snag a chocolate goodie from the other side of the ledge.

I'm not convinced it's a girl

2008-01-06T06:32:00.000-08:00

A metric ton of pink m&m's for my niece's baby shower

Make a run for the border

2008-01-05T06:27:00.000-08:00

A little school of fishies that live in our tank

Marvin says...

2008-01-04T06:24:00.000-08:00

Eat your mellows or I will destroy your puny planet

Monkey Lovin'

2008-01-03T06:23:00.000-08:00

I *heart* my new Christmas jammies!

Reindeer Games

2008-01-02T06:22:00.000-08:00

What we've been doing since Christmas

New Year's Day

2008-01-01T06:20:00.000-08:00

This is us...New Year's Day...a new beginning...new adventures...new challenges. Happy New Year!
