defining the circles that make me whole
What my camera got for Christmas (part 1)Posted by Alli on January 9, 2010
One of the highlights of my Christmas was the gift my guys gave me. Damon knew it was something I really, really, really, really wanted and it was probably going to be obvious when he gave it to me. So, he and Fuller worked together to make the actual giving of the gift just as [...]
Still kicking itPosted by Alli on
Wednesday the stomach bug hit Damon. It had already been through my sons, so I guess it would seem natural to hit me as well. I guess I had blinders on because for some reason, on Wednesday, I was already looking forward to Thursday and spending a snow day with my friend Esther and her [...]
Wordless WednesdayPosted by Alli on January 6, 2010
As is the case with my side of the family, Christmas get togethers mean group photos. Usually in clothing my mom picks out and buys for us. This year I was able to assist in the picking out of clothes and my sisters and I received cashmere sweaters! (I’ve wanted one for a long time.) [...]
Self Portrait SundayPosted by Alli on January 3, 2010
Well, I thought I would give this a try again. This is the face I make when trying to take a timed picture and hear the words, “What makes it ok to shoot a one month old puppy in the face?” Yeah, I have no words for that awfulness.
Wordless Wednesday :: For Shellie and BrysonPosted by Alli on December 16, 2009
On Monday night, when I was cuddled up with my husband catching up on TV, an online acquaintance was dealing with the loss of her two year old son. Shellie is an admin on a forum I belong to and the community there decided to dedicate Wordless Wednesday to the theme of lighting candles for [...]

Oi! I got behind in posting for the December Photo Project. But, I’m happy to say I’m not behind in taking pictures. From Sunday: From Monday: And today: I made these Apple Pie Muffins. They are pretty sweet and I didn’t get the crumble topping to really crumble. [tags]December Photo Project, muffins, birthday, apple muffins[/tags]
DPP :: December 11 & 12Posted by Alli on December 12, 2009
I had a picture for December 11th, but I was too exhausted after the fact that I just let posting the picture slide. My baby kept getting his hair in his eyes. So we finally gave in and took him to get his first haircut! And my pick for today is this fake bokeh picture: [...]
DPP :: December 10Posted by Alli on December 10, 2009
This picture is the definition of crazy. We went to the park when it was BELOW 40 degrees. AND the park was very muddy due to the storms on Tuesday night. We were there for less than 20 minutes (and yet I had several pictures!). I’m feeling very good about the December Photo Project and [...]
DPP :: December 9Posted by Alli on December 9, 2009
I spent a lot of time making cookies today. Last year I ate my words and started making Christmas cookies with Fuller. Today I was making them so I could get out of the house this evening! There was a cookie exchange with women in our church and it was a lot of fun. We [...]
DPP :: December 8Posted by Alli on December 8, 2009
I took the kids out of the house on this rainy day. We spent quite a while at the Creative Discovery Museum, letting them both blow off steam and get a change of scenery. There is a large kaleidoscope on the upper level and while Fuller turned the colorful panels, I snapped pictures. The outcome [...]
