christmas finch

we had a pretty simple Christmas this year due to expensive appliances + house purchase... but David did find time to pick out this little ornament for Violet. Since she finds random junk around the house more entertaining and interesting than actual toys, it wasn't very hard to please her this year...

I hope everyone had a great holiday.

sunday afternoon

can't get enough

she can't get enough of this table...

no matter where she is in the room, her goal is to get to this position.

she is teething her first little tooth this week and it has been a challenge for both of us!

almost 30, but not quite.

this is why I didn't become a graphic designer...

happy birthday david.

more bridal/groomals

These were taken a few weeks ago before winter came. This couple was so great. I'm pretty sure they're both models in disguise because they made it so easy for me... It doesn't hurt when they have great style too.

getting settled...

wow, what a week it's been.

In one week we have:
1. become homeowners... phew.
2. packed up all our valuables and moved to a new little city where there's a lot more room and a view!
3. realized how much I hate moving... once again.
4. purchased and decorated a Christmas tree.

So now you know why I haven't posted in over a week. I just got internet today and quickly realized how unproductive I can be with it here... and just a few snaps of violet being so patient as I unpack all week.

christmas mood

this blog needs a little Christmas cheer.

wide open spaces

Recently we took a drive way out west where the salt lies flat, wide and far as the eye can see.

It was freezing, but so so beautiful. And since I missed out on this and this, I felt the need to make a trip out myself before winter freezes everything over (wait, that might have happened already). Thanks you two for the inspirations. We are pretty lucky to live so close to a landscape so rare.

oh... we also discovered that Wendover isn't all that the billboards talk it up to be. hmm.
