Shots of the yard

We spent some time over at Andy’s parents’ house today. They live on 10 acres and have great wildlife out there. I think I saw 3 or 4 blue jays coming to their bird feeder. And there are deer tracks all over their backyard. See? (This is my shot for today for Project 365, btw.)

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.

Long time no see!

We’ve been a little busy around here, as I’m sure many of you are, too. We had a great Christmas weekend, then I had to work for a couple of days, then the boys and I joined the throngs of other parents and kids looking for a place to play in the midst of our […]

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 […]

Another giveaway!

I’m not giving anything away. I don’t have enough readership for that. I’d just end up giving it to a family member, I’m sure!

No, MckMama is hosting an AWESOME giveaway at her blog. She’s giving away Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. I sooooo want this! And seeing as I’ve had a pretty lucky year (see […]

Meet “Octopus Crime”

Last night, Caden and Noah made a wish on the wishbone from my mother-in-law’s Thanksgiving turkey. Caden won, and told Andy he wished for Bumblebee from the “Tranformers” movie. Not that he’s ever seen the movie or anything!

Anyway, today when we were there to pick the boys up (they slept over last night, which […]

Thank Goodness! Thursdays: Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for tonight:

*My amazing children *My adoring husband *A loving family *A roof over my head *A job for my husband and myself (and one that I love, at that!) *Food on the table at any time (and a very full belly right now) *Warm […]

Handmade for the Holidays

Have you discovered Etsy? I was introduced to Etsy by my dear SIL, Catheroo. It is a great site to find all things handmade. There are the odd things (WARNING: GRAPHIC MATERIAL! I did not discover these myself! Seriously!), pretty things, weird things, and everything in between.

Over at Beth’s blog, I Should Be Folding […]

Global warming?

This was the temperature today around 3:30 pm:

If this is global warming, keep it coming!
