A Photo Update!

I'm on VACATION this week! John and I are taking three days to go and celebrate our anniversary (five years, can you believe it?) later this week, but until then, I have all day to do work around the house (we finally finished planting the rest of our veggies/herbs yesterday, for instance), play some Wii, read my nook, and most importantly: catch up on photo editing! Here are some of my favorites that I've gotten to so far (these are from the February-April time frame):


Just a quick game of Dominion!


It's much too hot for Baked Potato Soup now, but this photo was back from February!


It's never too hot for chocolate chip cookies! (though, this photo is from February, too)


I had to take this shot while cooking (I believe I was making the potato soup you see above), because of how much I LOVE the new kitchen. Having so much counter space, and some of it actually NEXT to the stove is just... amazing. I never realized how much easier this would make my cooking. You just get used to what you have. But look! I have room for my laptop (with recipe on it), my cutting board, my knives, all the bowls I use to drop my prepped ingredients into, a glass of wine, and a container full of cookies. What else could I ever need? (side note: the pull out trash can being right next to where I chop all my veggies is awesome, too, as I just swoosh the parts you don't use directly into the trash can. awesome!)


Sleepy upside-down Myles with a fang sticking out!

From the flowering tree in our back yard. I have TONS more photos where this came from... just you wait!


Rusty.


I think this is Maia. Quite an eye, right?






These last three photos are from mid-April. The forsythia bush certainly isn't blooming anymore, but it sure was pretty when it was!
