December 2, 2009

As I type this, it's late on Saturday night.  The last of our houseguests have just left, and our house looks like a bomb went off.  Also, I hardly took any pictures at all today, and I really need to get out of my office and back into the kitchen (and living room, and dining room, and breakfast room, and back patio...) and help Marcus clean up.  So instead of new photos, I've gone through my archives of the past couple of weeks of December, and picked some favourites that didn't get previously published.  I hope you don't mind.

More newer shots tomorrow.

I don't mind, although the phrase 'more newer' is a bit cringe-worthy. :)
Beautiful, as always.

I don't mind either. I always love seeing Rufus pictures and The Beautiful Alex.

I mind. I demand more newness.

I think she meant more shots that are newer, not "more newer." More, newer shots. :)

Yay for busy Christmas season happenings!

December 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmyBean

Yes, AmyBean, thank you. Obviously that. :)

Is that snow in Texas! If so, that seems amazing. It does look pretty though.

December 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterelizabeth

Gracious, i'm not always that lucid apres company and avant clean-up. And i definitely wouldn't have been posting pictures then.

So, I am all the more grateful for the cheer you have shared with us every day. Your views of the celebrations Chez Chookooloonks are lovely, and you have inspired me to just keep the camera out (with my lovely fast 50mm attached) and slow down to capture some of those moments as they go by, not snapshots, but thoughtfully composed pauses in the revelry. Thank you!

I love that last shot of Alex. And Rufus is cuter than ever.

Can I just say that it perks me up everytime I see that little pups face. Ohhhh, so cute. And snow! Squee!
