“A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have."
The holidays often bring up memories of family and friends who are no longer with us. Sadly, another has been added to the list. My Uncle Bob died yesterday after a long illness. My thoughts are with my cousins who lost their father and my Dad and Uncle Roger who lost their big brother.
Memories. 52 in 2013
This week we were surrounded by people who love Olive and who support and care about our little family. Few days go by when we aren’t acutely aware of how lucky we are. This week, Gram and Uncle Colin made the trip from Pennsylvania to celebrate Olive’s birthday with us. Her Mimi and Gaigai took time from their busy lives to come early and help us prepare for her party. Her godmother, Tina, and friend Heather gave up their precious free time to help decorate. And her Aunt Valerie and Uncle Kevin drove from Raleigh to spend a weekend celebrating her. Her party was full of her friends and their parents and their love was palpable. Our lives are so much richer with these people in it. Between visitors, her birthday and her party, the weekend flew by. Before I knew it, it was time to fly to Florida for a work trip. I was excited to try out my new lens, even if it meant early wake up calls and dawn shoots. The work started a bit shaky when I got stuck in the sand but it turned out to be a really great trip.
Last year we began a new tradition of filling Olive’s crib with balloons the morning of her birthday. Next year she’ll be in a bed and we can do it before she wakes up. I looking back on how much she’s grown and also still stay the same.
When I realized that Olive’s birthday party would fall on her actual birthday, I was determined to plan a party that would be simple. I wanted plenty of time on her birthday to be present and soak up the day with her. We decided on a tea party theme since she loves hosting tea parties for her babies and adores dressing up. My mom suggested a waffle bar, which was brilliant! We got five dozen waffles from Cast Iron and a variety of yummy toppings. I found a ton of dress up items and put them out for her friends. I made her cake and Valerie made the icing. The favors were tea bags and “sugar cubes” in a little box. Olive spent most of her party having a private tea party in her room. She still isn’t a fan of sharing her favorite toys. “I hear someone riding my scooter. I’m just going to close my door.” We took it easy for dinner and ordered take out from our favorite Italian place. At bedtime, we told her the story of her birth.
Took this at the beach, It was such an amazing day :) Excited for today, Photoshoot!!! This is gonna be fun<3 Happy Sunday everyone and Have a good week!!

Oh, silly Arthur...
Happy Easter, everyone! Hope you have a great week.
The big news of the week is that Olive has started sleeping 12-13 hours a night. While we're super excited that we now know she's capable of it, we'd love to see a little more consistency. Ah well, one day.
Her little personality continues to blossom. She's become very silly this week. She loves to tilt her head to the side and grin wildly. It's ridiculously cute. She also loves when daddy hangs her upside down and bounces her crazily on his knee. She has been much more confident in her voice this week. We took her to Target one night and she sat in the cart and babbled loudly. Luckily everyone around us thought she was adorable and not annoying (or at least that's what they said).
The biggest change this week is how well she's mastered finger foods. She loves to pick up steamed bits of apple and sweet potato and eat them. She's definitely starting to chew her food which means we give her a lot more table food. She still loves to eat and can put away a ton of food now. Her current favorites are apple sauce and pumpkin that Ryan flavors with brown sugar, maple syrup, nutmeg and cinnamon. Our girl eats well!
Week 41
This week I decided to try something a little different. I took something I had written and attempted to make it into a photo... I was fairly pleased with it, let me know what you think!
"My pillow is too hot, I should flip it over. The neighbors next door are fighting again. This time I guess he forgot to take out the garbage. I can hear almost every word through the paper thin walls, "I told you right before I left specifically because it's too heavy for me..." Blah blah blah. It's already 2AM, I'm so tired but for some reason I can't close my eyes. The main street outside my apartment window isn't busy but every so often a car roars by just loud enough to bug me. Oh, there goes a truck now. I can even hear planes flying and trains blowing their horns every few hours. The silence between the disturbances make them seem more significant than they really are.
My eyes have adjusted so well to the moonlight squeezing through my blinds it could be daylight, I wouldn't even know. I have always had trouble sleeping at night, and probably always will. When I was little I would walk out of my room an hour after my mom had put me to sleep and complain that I wasn't tired. My mom would then ask me if I had tried closing my eyes and I would think back, only recalling studying how the moonlight touched everything in my room and think that I must not have tried closing my eyes and return to my room without another word.
So I tried this now, closing my eyes. It's never really worked before so I don't know why it would now, but I'm desperate. The shouting from my neighbors pierced my silence, almost causing me to wince. I thought about them, the cars, about work and life. I noticed my eyes were open yet again and I shut them instantly. After rolling over multiple times to get comfortable I decided to turn on the radio to keep me from thinking about life and to possibly keep a constant noise and maybe even drown out everything else.
I begrudgingly left my warm sheets to cross the room to the radio. The cool air hit me like a brick and it took all of my strength to not return to my blankets. My feet screamed on the cold carpet and I dragged myself to the window just to make certain it was closed. It was. I then turned to my alarm clock which I had strategically placed on the opposite side of the room so that in the morning I was forced to get out of bed to stop the angry beeping. The clock was already set to my favorite station and some smooth guitar chords started swimming through my head. I turned down the volume so it was just loud enough to keep the cars and couple at bay.
I crossed the room again to my bed which had become cold in my absence. The rough voice of a man with a broken heart joined the guitar, adding a new color to the music. I thought about him, what was real in his story and what was fiction. Do we all exaggerate? Just a little bit, I'm sure. We, as people, like things to sound good..."
Thank you!
Week 2 of 52
From a maternity shoot I done, I thought it was cute. Don't know if I'll keep this in the set yet..
One day, I saw 7 sofafree- as we all know, they come out in the rain- including this one. The next day, I saw a glorious sofafree set, perfect for Year Of The Bug. Only, when I went back to take Mac's picture with it, the entire set was moved back into a driveway, and it didn't seem appropriate to pose Mac on a set in someone's driveway, so this will have to do.
I told Mac to "sit" and he jumped right up there. I think he's gotten the hang of this sofafree thing.
John Bulette and Gillian Weeks came to YMCA Silver Beach to celebrate their wedding weekend with us! For many guests, this was their first experience on the beautiful Eastern Shore. The weekend was great, the food was delicious and the memories will last forever.

The week that time stood still...
After having arrived home last Sunday, the week just past was pretty boring if I'm honest. I loved being home, I enjoyed the change and everything but in comparison to having all the uni work I felt like I had nothing to do. Don't get me wrong, I need the break, I worked to the point of being ill, but the week was just a tad empty. The weekend was lovely though. Lots of riding, exercise on a bike, seeing my boyfriend, hot baths and even more birthday presents! (I swear I'll be 22 by the time these celebrations are over!) The idea was great though, 21 presents around the house, one for each year. So much fun!
This image was taken on one of the long days in the middle of the week where I had lots of time to kill. I'm pretty happy with it!
Christmas next week everyone! Wooo!!!

I had intended that this week's shot would be a 'street' shot - attempting to capture some display of emotion. I came across this scene yesterday in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin and it reminded me that in the midst of the Christmas season, among all the joy and the gifts, there are many stories of suffering and poverty .
We could perhaps put some label of emotion on the face of the beggar woman (resignation? despair?), but I would rather leave each viewer to decide on the emotion in the subject and the emotion stirred in themselves.
Happy Christmas to all my Flickr friends and thanks for sharing all the great photos in 2012!!
17/52 - 52 Weeks of Jedi
I had promised Jedi a soft serve ice-cream from McDonalds if he ever got his title in CCD Obedience.
Today, I had to pay up! He scored his 3rd and final pass with 92/100 and placed 3rd! What a good boy!
He sure enjoyed that ice cream... Little does he know, it was a one off!

For 52 Weeks of Pix, Week 46: Abandoned
This structure is the original house built on my parent's property. The previous owners lived here while building the house my mother lives in now. We've always called it "The old house" and used it for storage for years, but now it is too far gone. She talks of tearing it down but I will hate to see it go, it is a picturesque ruin and I love it!
