A nice way to end the day

After work today (a day I thought would be short, where I’d be home by 12:00, but ended up being a long, full day), I was ready to come home and relax on the sofa, reading the paper, looking at catalogs from the mail, and finishing Thursday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New York” […]

Fun at the Brewer game

We took advantage of the 5-Day, 5-County Celebration to get half-price tickets and landed ourselves in the ninth row down the left field foul line. They were pretty great seats, but it was hard for the boys to see from that low. We still managed to have a good time (despite a pretty bad loss […]

Unbelievable

Andy returned home today from a business trip in India. Yup, I.N.D.I.A. Yikes! He was lucky enough to be there with a man who was born in Calcutta and loves to show people around the country. They spent the day on Saturday in Agra, visiting the Taj Mahal. A-MAZ-ING!

You Capture: Reaching

I slacked last week and didn’t participate in Beth’s challenge to capture quiet. I was exhausted living a single parent’s life while Andy was in Ireland. I just didn’t have it in me to work on my blog. But I’m back, and I had a good time coming up with shots for […]

Winter baseball

After Noah got home from school today, we stayed outside to play. Caden decided it was a great time to get out the baseball gear. I worked on pitching for a bit, then was thankfully relieved by Andy when he got home from work. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, about 40 degrees, and just […]

Sledding in the yard

We got about 8 or 9 inches of snow yesterday. Add that to the several inches that were still on the ground from our snowstorm a month ago and that leaves a good base on the ground. When Andy plowed the driveway yesterday, he made a huge pile of snow in our front yard so […]

You Capture: 2009 in pictures

You Capture is back! It’s been a busy few weeks for everyone, especially Beth. So she took a little hiatus, then challenged us to gather up our favorite photos from 2009.

Well, seeing as I’ve challenged myself to a Project 365, I’m not too ambitious in pulling together pictures again. So I’m […]

Our Christmas Day

Well, there’s no You Capture this week, but I made up this post anyway. It’s about our Christmas celebrations on Christmas Day. Enjoy!

On Christmas Eve, the boys laid out the cookies, coffee cake, carrots, and cheese (for Santa Mouse), along with a letter to Santa explaining that the cheese was for Santa Mouse.

Ode to 2009

We’ve had quite a year, a year so fine.

Let’s review what’s happened for the Hoffman’s in 2009!

The year started with visiting the art museum and Domes.

Noah lost his first tooth and the tooth fairy visited our home.

In February we drove to […]

I Heart Faces: Tooshies!

I’m giving it a go again! Here’s the tooshie shot I chose to enter in the contest this week:

My aunt made a good point: it’s 2-for-1! I love this shot. Andy is reading to Caden. Why Caden chose to sit on Andy’s back like that is beyond me!

Check out […]
