Happy Valentine's Day

from our little snuggle bug

winter

I got caught in this mini-blizzard today while on a walk. Was soaked to the skin. Came home and capture this peaceful moment. Ahhh winter, you are lovely.

My Beanie

I took these this fall and realized I hadn't posted them yet. What? Here's my girl, my snuggler, my sweet, sweet angel. She breaks my heart with her beauty, inside and out.

I'm so glad that we got a little of the white stuff this weekend. It makes the short, (often) dark days of winter much more cheery in my opinion.

just a few more christmas pics

I had fun decorating our Christmas Eve dinner table this year. I realized that I hadn't yet shared it here, so… here it is!

We had a nice holiday, with lots of rest, traditions, and time with friends and family. Today I de-Christmasified (yup, it's a word) the house, and put up my Winter and Valentine's Day decorations. It looks clean and refreshing. Ready for 2014!

a new year's day walk around the 'hood

Something about it being New Year's Day yesterday inspired me to get my bum out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. It was crisp, and cold, and sunny, and beautiful. 

When I arrived home on my front steps, this X (in the photo above) of airplane trails was high in the sky. X marks the spot. I guess I'm home.
