day 270: I was up on a stool last night putting groceries away in one of our high shelves when I looked down on the counter… and for some reason was quite entertained by the angle. It reminded me of a cooking show camera angle… although if cooking shows were done in far less nice of kitchens.

day 269: On Monday (sorry again for the late posting) both Ben and I were up late working on projects on our computers. This is Ben’s oh my gosh it’s 1 am and I’m so sad that my portfolio won’t upload face. We went to sleep shortly after this and he uploaded it the next day. Nothing ever seems to go right at 1 am 🙂

day 268: This afternoon the family got together at mom & dad’s to decorate the Christmas tree, one of my favorite family traditions! While we were there Valena and John stopped by and brought my favorite little guy… he didn’t do much decorating but he did make a fabulous lego spaceship. And of course I had to take at least a couple photos of him. He’s just so cute!

day 267: While we were in San Diego I got the chance to shoot some engagement photos for Rocky & Eddie who are going to be married in July in a fabulous destination wedding (super exciting… I can’t wait!). This is one of my favorites… more as always later this week on my “official” blog 🙂

day 266: Sorry for the sporadic posting! I’m still taking the photos, I’ve just been so busy it’s been hard to find the time to blog them on the day I take them! Friday we packed up to head down to San Diego again… this time for a Christmas party. Not much time for photos on that day!

day 265: Obviously I know it’s not Christmas yet… it’s not even December yet. But Ben and I put up our Christmas tree and I’m super excited for all of the festive decorations going up all around town. We still have the outside of our house to decorate as well. Yay for holiday decorations!

day 264: We’ve had a ridiculously busy couple of weeks… traveling, houseguests…. and now even more houseguests. This time it’s Paul, who we of course took out to mexican food as soon as he arrived. Mmm mexican food.

day 263: Walking from a shop to my car around 5 this afternoon I caught a fleeting glimpse of color in the gloomy November sky… just long enough to take a photo before the sun sank and it faded to gray. What lovely puffy pink clouds…

day 262: Just a couple of weeks ago we visited Chris and Tara in New York and now it’s our turn to play host. I think they got quite a typical welcome to our home when Rita jumped on the couch and attacked their feet. It’s hospitality by foot licking, her specialty. Chris asked me to remind him NOT to wear flip flops tomorrow 🙂

day 261: On Sunday before hopping back on our plane home I went over to take some portraits of baby Ella. Isn’t she adorable? Just like a little cabbage patch doll 🙂
