you capture…america

I’m finally getting around to participating in ishouldbefoldinglaundry’s weekly photo blog event (I’ve been telling myself to for a while now).  The theme for You Capture this week is “America”

I took this picture of my brother and sister-in-law up celebrating their 4th of July anniversary on Federal Hill overlooking Baltimore’s inner harbor . . . → Read More: you capture…america

baltimore photoshoot with Patrick & Jen…

This past weekend, I got the chance to run up to Baltimore to see my family and friends.  I had such a good time visiting with everyone and I have a lot more pictures to post.  But I wanted to get these up first – I had so much fun playing around with my . . . → Read More: baltimore photoshoot with Patrick & Jen…

things change….

We found out recently that we will not be moving to England.  We are disappointed, but now we have new things to plan and do this summer.

We are happy to be staying closer to family and friends.  We are looking forward to spending time at the lake with Andy’s family and meeting a new baby nephew . . . → Read More: things change….

our favorite homemade pizza…

Husband recently posted on facebook that he

has finally taken a liking to Abi’s pizza recipe to the point that I actually prefer it over going out…

new lens…

I got a new lens for my camera this week.  I haven’t gotten to play around with it much yet…but I can already tell that it’s a big improvement over the kit lens.  It is a 50mm F/1.8 that was recommended by my cousin, Jeremy, and several other photog people.  Thanks for . . . → Read More: new lens…

belated Father’s day….

My mom, dad, and little brother were in the area (well closer than they usually are….only about 4-5 hours away rather than the normal 8 from Baltimore) and they came down to have dinner with us on Tuesday night.  Andy did an incredible job grilling pork on and potatoes.  And . . . → Read More: belated Father’s day….

…that husband actually let me cut his hair on Monday night.  He is a little bit particular about his once every few week buzz cut.  It has to “feel sharp” enough to be a good haircut.  But for some reason, he decided to buy a clipper set at Walmart and asked me to give it a . . . → Read More: still can’t believe….

saturday in the city….

On Saturday, I was feeling the need to be out and about.  Andy’s back has been bugging him all week, so I left him home to rest and ventured up to the triangle area on my own.  I like the little town we live in, but every now and then miss the big city-ness . . . → Read More: saturday in the city….

sea salt carmel brownies

I saw JennyMac’s  recipe for sea salt carmel brownies a few weeks ago and couldn’t stop thinking about trying them.  I finally decided to try them last night….and they are really good.  Husband was speechless as he quickly polished one off and said it was awesome when he was finished.

And since my mom . . . → Read More: sea salt carmel brownies
