We're so cute.

Horse drawn carriages go by our house often and I never ever manage to get a picture, not that the Amish people in them really want me to take a picture of them anyway, I guess... (Actually as I'm posting this in November 2012, I can tell you that on Thanksgiving, two came by in a row, so close to each other that the cyclist in the room all said that they were drafting off of each other.)

Red velvet cake with some little ones at my 30th birthday party.

I've been confused with Sarah more than once at work. I kind of get it.

Ollie helps his grandma with a crossword puzzle.

Asleep at the computer again.

I brought Ollie and Ginger to the vet, where Ginger met this fake cat.

My sister and I are pretty excellent nostril flarers. Ben gets scared when I flare my nostril that he'll fall in because they get so big.

I'm pretty sure my mom would not approve of this silly picture face I made when I took a self portrait in the back seat of her car, but I think it's pretty excellent!

I was working a team building program in a public park in Syracuse and took this picture to ask people if they thought it was poison ivy. The overwhelming consensus was that yes, it was. Turns out I have a poor understanding of poison ivy.

More impressive pillow utilization.

Ollie and Indie chill.

Indie stayed with Ollie and me for a couple days. At his own house, he eats his food slowly throughout the day. Almost every time we go over there, Ollie goes straight for Indie's food and we either manage to get the bowl up on a table before he gets any or he finishes the bowl before we notice.

When Indie stayed at our house, he laid with his face in the bowl until he (rather quickly) finished his dinner. He's smart.

Dropping off Ben for his trip. No tears.

Some of Ben's students came over for dinner and had story time with "Ferdinand the Bull"

Ben trying on his dry suit for his sea kayaking trip in Newfoundland. I think he looks silly. Ollie couldn't care less.

By now, you probably know that Ollie loves pillows.

@ Ben's 10 year college reunion. When you live half an hour away, you don't have a room on campus to go back to in the middle of the day to nap, and driving home seems much much too far, so we spent some time chilling in the car.
