Duct tape in action

Shortly after this Cristy did get a new pair of chore boots to replace this sad, sad pair that had reached the end of their useful life. And happily, the store had 50% off the 2nd pair, so I got some too!

Carnival

Another carnival set up shop while I slept last night and it's dizzy flashing lights lured me in this evening on the way home.

Favorite smiles of 2009

smiles and memories spanning the whole year

Over the river and through the woods

The fun started at the airport yesterday. We arrived and the fun continued. Wintery weather expected tonight, maybe tomorrow a snowball fight, who knows?

Celebrating life at work

Lunch out is always a treat. This celebration was in honor of a birthday (birthday girl, front & center).

Cristy's laugh

Cristy is adorable. She's also mischevious, playful and sometimes mildly cynical. But she appreciates funny and her laugh sounds like music to me. I love this photo of her taken on Mother's Day.
