morning gut punch

Many of you may be familiar with Adele. I wasn't in love with her the first time I heard her but after a reminder by Renee and Casey's trip to *see* her, I'm in love with her awesomeness and she is now on my play list. Not sure why it happened today... so late, but here it is...

I can feel her pain towards the end of the song. Somehow she's able to punch her feelings right into your gut... such a powerful voice... I sound just like that when I'm matching those notes in my living room vacuuming...

J & I engagement

In my spare time I've been working on all the editing for numerous photo sessions. I promise I'll try to get all the editing done in a "reasonable amount of time." In the meantime, here are a few more of my favorites from J and I's engagement session a couple weeks ago. More to come... 2 weeks! (Money Pit style) ;)

cellar to be proud of

We have this crazy, wonderful neighbor who just keeps bringing over all these canned goods. She cannot be stopped. ;) In all reality, we are so very grateful for her ambition. At this point, I'm not sure our re-payment of children running loose at all times of the day is enough! I know she appreciates our cellar just as much as we do. Muchas gracias vecino!

estate finds

A few weeks ago there was an estate sale right across the road from us. Naturally, Casey and I went to check it out because it was calling my name allllll week. Found me some gems. And I'm completely convinced more estate sales need to be dominated next summer...or whenever possible!

I think I spent $24.50 for *all* of these goodies... tiny wood kid chair, old wooden bat, vintage camera for my collection, and a medicine bag in sketchy condition.
