 Without a doubt, one of Emily’s and my favorite parts of the holiday season is our annual San Francisco outing with Patty. It always starts with high tea and ends with a spectacular dinner and usually includes a visit to Union Square, and oftentimes there is some surprise event in between. And this year she […]  Start date: March 4, 2011 (my 43rd birthday) End date: November 29, 2013 (http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html) *1. Think of 101 things for this list! (finished 11/29/12) *2. Find out more about being represented on Getty (I am now a Getty contributor!) *3. Get CS5 *4. Get and become comfortable in LR3 *5. Learn more about CS5 (but […]  I must admit, this project made me even more in awe of the amazing photographers who pull off a 365. Thinking of things I am thankful for was easy—but coming up with things that would make a halfway decent image was tough! More often than not I found myself desperate at the end of a […]  Week 3 in my series of Thankful Things… (Week 1 is here, and Week 2 is here.)

Day 17: […]  Life in our household is a little nutty this month, so this morning I bought some flowers and slowed down a bit to play with my Lensbaby. I holed myself up in my relatively quiet room (the only somewhat peaceful place in the house because we have contractors here all the time these days) with […]
 Week 2 in my series of Thankful Things… (Week 1 is here.) Day 8: …for our birdie who gives kisses. Day 9: …that we’ve been remodeling for exactly 4 weeks now, and “cooking” in the dining room still feels more like a camping adventure than a drag (though I admit I’m growing tired of the […]  This month’s assignment in our little group was to create a portrait with the face not in focus. In my head I saw all these dreamy, graceful images filled with lovely shape and colors with absolutely nothing in sharp focus, but I just couldn’t figure out how to bring my vision to life in photos, […]  Ever since Emily was very little, part of our nightly routine has been what we call “Thankful Things”. At bedtime each night, we tell each other two things that happened in our day, or that exist in our life in general, that we’re thankful for. It doesn’t need to anything spectacularly amazing or even of […] |

Maybe I can get Patti to adopt me. It sounds like a fantastic day! Emily would need her new wool coat if she was in MN this week. It is really cold.
What a wonderful, memorable day!
