An update - forthcoming ?

I can't say that we've been too busy to blog, but life has just been "out of whack" since Christmas. I've got lots of pictures to post and a few items I want to blog about, but just can't seem to get my act together.

So for now, here's 2 photos of a hawk (coopers? sharp shinned? chicken?) in our backyard. Needless to say, our bird feeders have been vacant since his arrival...

Rainy day

I am thankful for the very rainy day we're experiencing today, but it has made me completely unproductive.

Keep on raining! I'll stay in my pj's all day :)

Coming soon...

... awesome photos taken with my new DSLR camera! YES! I got a new digital camera for Christmas/birthday. It is the popular Nikon D40X. LOVE IT! Now I just need to figure out how to use it. For now, here's one fun picture from 12/26:

Merry Christmas!

There, I said it! I've been doing my best to be "PC" everywhere else (especially at work) and I give the generic "Happy Holidays!" but I had to get out one good "MERRY CHRISTMAS" before I exploded! :)

So, I hear Christmas is next week. We've had the house mostly decorated since the start of the month and I thought it would be a good idea to take a little photo evidence for posterity.

Ooooooooooohhhhhh Christmas tree, oooohhhh Christmas tree, how lovely are your plastic branches


The piano (finally tuned and sounding beautiful! thanks mom & dad!)


The tree again (please excuse the ghetto tie backs, we have real ones to put on the wall, but just haven't had a chance to hang them)


Christmas card holder (yeah, it's just some ribbon and packing tape, but it works!)


The snow village


The festive mantle


Holly themed coffee table


The whole she-bang in the living room


Our front door (non-round) wreath


And finally the entry table


Merry Christmas to all!
