a year in review

I ended last year with a Boston trip in December

and then there were lots of adventures in the spring...

and a whole summer romping through europe...8 countries, 15 cities...

and of course there were birthdays, and little trips to the lake

and yardsales, and work to be done at the shop

and parties in the fall, with bands comprised of boys i've known my whole life...

and moments, lots of little moments, sometimes with cookies...

and small town traditions, and the best BBQ of all time...

and friends stopping by the shop

and pie parties, food, fires, and...more food

there was work  and lots of fun with sarah before she split for the wild unknown (forbach, france)

and boys learned...photos can be fun!

there was mail...

and mums...

and friends falling in love...

and new members of the family...

had some random, special halloween weekends

and halloween day adventures in mini vans, and old cities with cool bands...

and cozy homes, and adventures in the attic...

and great art shows...

and thanksgiving goodness at my late great grandmother's farm

and dinner at my parents...

with lovely visiting friends. and what better end to a 70 degree thanksgiving morning than a snowy thanksgiving night.

and then a little thanksgiving visit to louisville

and some quality boy time with my cute little family..

keeping warm and cosy near christmas

many cold "2 dog nights"

and chicken experimentations...

a silly photo shoot or two with aud

and breakfast..

and finally, a more optimistic new year...

happy 2011, yall.
