It's not that I haven't been posting lately, it's just that almost all of it has been friends-only and not available to the public. So if you want to share in the fun, get a Livejournal account =)

Tim and I went to see Wordplay for my birthday last weekend, which was also the 4th wedding anniversary of Joe and Rachel Dalton (I'm always much more ( Read more... )

We're going to the christening of our nephew John this weekend - I'm so excited to meet the little guy! And Illinois is reaching a sweltering 99 in the shade tomorrow; while Kentucky is going to be hot too, at least it will be a very little cooler. I hope ( Read more... )

Another month has rolled around, and that means I can finally put some pictures up on my Flickr account. These are just some of my favorites of over 200. I love our new camera, may it refrain from breaking for many years. We hope to retire some day to the Bahia de Banderas; the pictures hardly do it justice.
