I’m slowly working my way thru the photos for the past year. I’ve decided for 2010 I will not do a 365 but I will continue to frequently take photos and post them here.
5.1.09: Gianna’s sunflowers continue to grow.
5.2.09: Tiramisu for dessert tonight.
5.3.09: Tiramisu cake for dessert. MIL’s birthday and needed to bake her a cake. Dare I say this one tasted better than the ‘real’ tiramisu?
5.4.09: Sold. ‘Nuff Said.
5.6.09: Finish trim on door. Because it was too cold last fall when the door was installed to complete the trim because the grout required certain temperatures, this project had to wait until the weather warmed up.
5.7.09: Graduation card. Was commissioned to make an elegant graduation card. I LOVED how this one turned out. Kraft, black, and white are so classy.
5.8.09: Mothers Day Flower. Gianna came home with this special gift for me from daycare today.
5.9.09: Bath Salts. We made bath salts to give as Mother’s Day gifts. Here we are mixing them all up!
5.10.09: Dandelion Portrait. We went for a leisurely drive today, stopping in at Jay’s newest housing acquisition to check it out and photograph it. Gigi picked some dandelions outside and posed for a portrait for me.
5.11.09: Kristi’s Gift. We give Gianna’s daycare mom a gift each year on Mother’s Day. This year it was a set of homemade cards with her monogram/initial, along with a bag of homemade bath salts, and a set of homemade soaps.
5.12.09: Recital practice at SCSU. Tonight the dance girls rehearsed on the big stage in anticipation of this weekend’s recital.
5.13.09: Winter Water. Emptying a whole winter’s worth of water and snow melt off the pool cover. That poor pump had to work for HOURS.
5.14.09: Bye, bye, old house. The night before our original scheduled closing… I spent the evening doing a final cleaning at the old house, and took one last photo to remember the place.
5.15.09: Rain! We had sooo much rain today! Look at all the standing water in the year. Yikes!
5.16.09: Silly Dress Up. Pajamas, Easter hat (from when she was one!), scarf. GREAT combo!
5.17.09: Backstage at the Dance Recital.
5.18.09: Asleep in the Rocking Chair.
5.19.09: Charlotte’s Web. We are reading a chapter each night. Great book.
5.20.09. We celebrated the sale/closing of the old house today by taking our first real dip in the pool tonight. Gigi is decked out in all her gear: life jacket and goggles!
5.21.09: In the Rocking Chair.
5.22.09: In the sky. I believe it was a beer ad.
5.23.09: Flowers. Our realtor sent us flowers after the house closing. They were pretty!!
5.24.09. First barbeque. It was the first barbeque of the season! We enjoyed ribs and garlic bread, done on the grill.
5.25.09. Down the Slide. Gigi had to be convinced the slide was a good idea. This was her first time down. And she wouldn’t attempt it again for most of the summer.
5.26.09: Natural Light. I don’t remember what we were doing, or what was significant… only that there was pretty sunlight coming in through the windows in the breakfast nook, and it made for pretty portrait lighting.
5.27.09: Surf and Turf. It’s our 9th anniversary, and we cooked surf and turf on the grill. Steaks and calamari. Yum.
5.28.09: Roses. Jay bought roses for our anniversary. Here they are a few days later, but still looking good.
5.29.09: Angel's and Demons. Good movie. (The book was better!)
5.30.09: Individual wine. Found these cute little bottles of wine at the liquor store and had to try them out. Perfect for when you want a glass of wine but hate to open a whole big bottle.
5.31.09: Bike ride! I’m not exactly sure why the bike was in the kitchen… but it was. She looked so cute with her hat and sunglasses on her teeny tiny bike!
