Day after Christmas exhaustion

No explanation needed.

Seriously?!? More bread? I guess I was baking a lot and bringing it to work...

More bread making! (this day with cheesy corn chowder!)

Ben wears through his "SmartWoo" socks like it's his job. And, in a way, it kind of is.

Home made bread and maybe gnocchi?

Ben suddenly became desperate for cider donuts (which I had no context for) and wanted to find some as good as the ones he had in college. We found some AMAZING ones here, but he still felt that they would never be as good. Now that we live back in the area we went to college in (2012 update), it turns out the cider donuts we found in New Hampshire were better. Who knew?

Apparently Ollie's wearing some new cologne?

Ben + Kitchen.

Look at that love!

If it wasn't Thanksgiving weekend (2012) when I was finally posting this, I would go make some sauce like this right now. As it is, I think I'm set for a few days.

Stina and Amy bridesmaiding at Shappy's wedding. Pretty pretty ladies!

Did you notice that we like to cuddle?

In a tree!

Ollie vs. The Ocean

My boys love to cuddle.

Found Ollie just chilling like this. Weirdo.

Ollie in his new softshell!

Beautiful wedding!

Bare feet appropriate.

On out trip to Colorado for Nick and Anna's wedding. I love Ben's face in this one!

During the rehearsal dinner, I went for a walk around the park and saw this!

Beautiful day at the Portsmouth dog park!

This day's pictures consisted of home made french fries, slow cooked beef ribs, corn, spinach, and this beer. I don't really remember the beer. I should definitely write down notes the day we try a new one.

A visit from our friend Frank/Ollie loves hugs!

Really Ben?

A visit from our friend Dan/Ollie loves hugs!

Ollie's first P-Rade. Unfortunately, Princeton doesn't make any dog paraphernalia, so we couldn't dress him up.

Canvas tent @ PAWs training. I bet Ben doesn't miss those.

Graduation for the grad school cohort I started with (before I switched to part time). These are the two other GAs (they're wearing heels). I miss these ladies!

Oh, and I guess Ollie destroyed a pillow on this day too.... (I just noticed that this was his birthday - Birthday Pillow!!!)

Change and random stuff that I assume I found on my dresser. Ben actually just transfered this change yesterday (November 2012) to a new container. We may bring it to the bank to deposit... I'm betting we have $120, but Ben thinks less...

New five fingers!!!

???

Mexican-style salad. Yum.

Ollie and I visited our friends Amy and Toby (pictured) for a study date.

My coworker had one of our students (who lives on a farm) bring him these at some point. Then he brought them out of the freezer on this day for show and tell. I wish I could add something to this story to make it make more sense...

Field trip with the alternative school I interned at.

Ben, where'd you hide Ollie?

Ben at my desk in Morrill Hall

Harvard Square. Don't remember at all what we were doing there...

We passed this sign a couple times (I think visiting Josh) and I kept thinking it said "PolyCRAP," which I found hysterical.

For some reason, I think Ben prepared this strawberry walnut parmesan appetizer....
