This picture was taken back on August 9th, on our wedding anniversary lunch/dinner. We met up around 3:00 to eat an extremely early bird dinner (or a late lunch) and celebrate. I figured this was a fitting photo for today, as I remembered that tomorrow marks the hubs’ and my 5 year anniversary since our first date (cue the “awes” for me, will ya?).

Okay, so I can’t really claim this photo as my own… this photo was taken by the hubs when he was outside last Thursday in our backyard. BUT – he took it with my camera, so technically it is my photo then… right? The photo is a close-up shot of our Holly tree… and I just LOVED the color of the berries in contrast with the snow/ice.

Over the extra-long weekend, I made this sleeve for my Kindle Touch. I opted to buy a silicon cover for my kindle, similar to a cellphone cover. While I have enjoyed the cover and have had no big complaints, I do have a fear of possibly scratching the screen without the added protection of a regular kindle cover. So, I pulled out a few scraps of fabric from my collection and threw this puppy together in less than 3o minutes. It is double protected – the inside is lined with a bright red fleece.

Chocolate peanut-butter no bake cookies were our guilty pleasure over the weekend… I made a batch last Friday, when we were in the midst of our “snomageddon and icepocalypse” here in western Washington. Recipe found HERE.

I don’t think I have ever written about the chest of drawers that is currently functioning as our television stand. This piece was a part of the hubs’ grandparents’ bedroom set. It is large (our TV pictured above is 40 inches or so) and has wonderful storage. Want to know a fun fact? This chest of drawers was the first item the hubs’ grandparents bought when his papa received his first paycheck from the Navy. I love it.

This is a photo of my rain boots in our 12+ inches of snow. I am so thankful for these tall rain boots – they kept my feet dry the whole time I was outside. The snow finally switched to rain Friday afternoon, and I have never been so happy to see the rain. Maybe it was the stir crazy feeling we were having up in here all week…

I love that Kingston has cousins around his age that he gets to play with – this is a photo of Kingston and his cousin Brooklyn from Easter 2011. They both received a pair of bunny ears and Brooklyn loved to see hers in the mirror. Kingston? He was not so much into wearing them, but into watching Brooklyn wear hers.

When a post calls for someone you love, you just knew I had to post a photo of the hubs… right? The hubs is not very fond of having his photo taken, but agrees to it every so often. This one was taken this past summer. It was a lucky shot, taken by surprise. The rest of the photos snapped on this day were not so cooperative…

I think this will always be one of my favorite photos of my sweet, sweet boy. This photo is sweet in so many ways… sweet toddler, pretty sweet lion costume… and extremely sweet swagger.

I know, I know – so many mentions of our countertop installation last Friday… where are the pictures? I promise I will write a heavily photographed post dedicated to our kitchen remodel as soon as I am done with the January Challenge, but this is a glimpse of the countertops we bought (and had installed). LOVE them. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. I can’t say it enough.
(Oh, and if you were wondering… cabinet painting was put on hold when we found out I was expecting…and backsplash tile will be hopefully purchased and installed this coming weekend.)
