~Day 171~ Yikes!

Just as we arrived home from an outing today, Darrin pointed out, as he shut off the car, that we had hit 70,000 km right on the dot. That's a lot for us in three and a half years. (We used to put about 7,000 km per year.) Must be all those trips to Beantown and back and forth to the boys' universities every weekend or so.

~Day 167~ Tank

My good luck charm, for my favourite player - Timmy Thomas, you're the best!

~Day 166~ Best. Day. Ever.

Or at least in a very long time. I can't believe the boys finally won the Stanley Cup after 39 years (and I certainly cannot say that I remember the '72 series.) But the Red Sox made us wait more than twice that long before they became World Series Champs in '04. So having been around to see the Bruins, Red Sox, and Celtics all win championships in the past few years rawks!!!

PS. I wouldn't normally fill a memory card photographing the television, as I know they don't turn out so well, but I was so caught up in the moment that I just couldn't help myself! My first inclination when something exciting happens is to grab for the camera, so that's what I did. It was almost like being there. (Well not quite, but one can dream.)

~Day 163~ Baby Blues

So, if any of you have been following the blog, you know that I had an injury that has prevented me from completing my 365 project. But I've been photographing this little guy since he was a couple months old and when his mom asked me to do some photos for his second birthday, I couldn't disappoint. He really made me run for the shots (literally) today, and, after overdoing it yesterday (setting up the gazebo), I was so sore that I could hardly keep up. But I think we got some great shots, nonetheless. Most importantly, his mom is happy!

So here are a few more of my faves from today's shoot.

~Day 162~ Outdoor Oasis

Happy Birthday, Darrin!

I overdid it today, setting up the gazebo for a surprise for my honey, but he's always done so much for me that a little extra pain for a couple more days was more than worth it.

We had a great day today - spent the morning together and did the lunch thing, I worked on the gazebo while he napped in the afternoon (he did have to work last night, but has tonight off for his birthday), and went to see the movie "Bridesmaids" in the evening. After the movie, we came home and had cake on the deck. It's the simple pleasures that make it all worthwhile!
