i'm horrible at taking pictures lately -- i'm sure that will change when the baby comes and you'll all get sick of me posting pictures -- but for now i only have 2 really awesome pictures to post.
this first one encompasses one of the best nights i've had in a long time. pat, eve and i went to dinner at porcupine and came out to find our car nearly blocked in. this note explains it all (and yes we left it on their car) -

sadly, this is the only picture i have from christmas. regardless, it's definitely worth posting. i woke up christmas morning to find these fabulously wrapped presents under the tree. tyler was so proud of his work, he jumped out of bed when i did just to see my reaction.
