I took today off of work because John and I were thinking about taking a "long weekend trip", but ultimately decided to just quickly skip town Saturday evening for a friend's birthday.  But once I've requested a day off of work, it's hard not to use it, so we've been working on getting some more stuff done around the house.

Because I'm still tragically behind in posting some photos from our everyday life here, I'm also going to take some time to try and catch up!

The season of fire pits and grilling started in mid March for us

Loving our charcoal chimney

The tree in our front yard starting to bud

Playing Ricochet Robots

John, through the screen door

Our Forsythia bush.  These photos were taken in early Spring, so it's nice seeing all the COLOR again!

Sweet Maia. You can't tell how stupid she is from this photo.

Tree against Sky. and Cloud.

A grill full of noms!

Cheese on a veggie brat

Hot charcoal!

My macro lens (that I used to take the forsythia photo)

You should probably not run into these windows. It would hurt.
