August in Atlanta




The Saturday market at Piedmont Park with Kim, Lua drinking out of my water glass, and little brother playing varsity football!

Here crabby, crabby

















We bonded with the crabs, so did Terrance, then we ate them!
Tried to update my blog today and last week with photos, and to my dismay, my photo add function saves my post instead of posting a photo. Posting suspended until I figure it out. Boo.

Today a little bat spent several hours sleeping on the screen of my bathroom window. Bruce Wayne, so named by my dad, left early afternoon, leaving behind a souvenir of bat poop. Thanks Bruce. Have a nice life.

Bay House August 2009


Bay House Weekend with Ben and friends. I was obviously not at 100%. Thank you South American sinus infection and stomach bug.

Curitiba, Brazil



Amanda lives here with her new hubby, Seba!!! We were so excited to visit their home in Curitiba, but the Chilean paperwork authorities kept it from happening. Without Amanda and Seba, Sarah and I made the best of the situation and explored Curitiba as the only American tourists for 3 1/2 days.

Iguazu Falls Argentina & Brazil



Sarah and I spent two days in two national parks in Argentina and Brazil at Iguazu Falls. The coolest, most beautiful place I have ever been!

I am still a pet moocher and LOVE my sister/family's dog Riley. He, however, maybe loves his American Girl tent more than he loves us!

I think on this day I was packing up my green chest and found old photographs. Have to say I was pretty cute. Carlie is lucky I didn't post one I found of us at Chincoteague Island. :o)

Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day weekend with Ben and friends in the mountains of Pennsylvania.

Photo blog revisited

Today is August 6, 2009. I have been absent from my daily photo blog since May 18, 2009 due to an overwhelming feeling of not wanting to be pressured to take a photo a day. Sometimes the day isn't worth a photo. Sometimes (usually) I forget. This blog will continue as an awesome photo/event blog instead of daily. Here goes!
