on top of the world

As far as commutes go, I'm lucky. It takes 15 minutes, no freeways, no traffic, no hassle. And on my way home I see this:

It's one of the more amazing views of out city, but until yesterday, I had never stopped except at the stoplight. There's a parking lot (can we say make-out spot?) right off the road so I pulled over. With all of the storms moving in and out lately, the sky has really caught my attention in a new way. Also, I've noticed it's really hard to photograph clouds. It's something I plan to ask about in the class I just enrolled in.

speaking of growth spurt

This little thing is turning 6 this week which also means we're really close to celebrating our 6th anniversary. I'm having a hard time believing it has been that long already. But then again, I remember just how tiny she was the first day I held her.

so big

The twins have gone through a real spurt lately. Not so much getting taller, but their language and play skill just shot up. I'm glad, they seem happy about it.

 

  

  

 

Somehow my exercise walk turned into a cappuccino at a nearby coffee shop. I got off work a little early on Monday and the sun was shining and it was over 6o degrees. I think you can see how this might happen.

Also, it's time for another press photo attempt for The Heated. Out of 107 shots, we got 8 that seem usable. This is my favorite of the bunch because it is the least posed, but it's not very "press photo" like either.

a day of love

Happy Valentine's Day all you little lovebirds.
