2010 - wow. It's hard to believe the new year and that 2009 (and the last decade, for that matter!) have gone by so quickly.
This week was a wonderfully relaxing one. We both took Monday off of work, which gave us a day to recoup after our Christmas trip. Kim ran to Ikea and found some artwork for the den (which we still need to hang up...) and we mostly hung around.
We had a two day work week, which was amazing...we're both not sure we're going to be able to make it through a 5-day work week now!
On New Year's Eve, we opted to stay in, cook a nice dinner and relax. On Friday, we tried to watch the Flyers game (vs. New Mexico), but the game was up against the Rose Bowl (OSU) and Sugar Bowl (Cincinnati), so we were out of luck. We ended up following the game on GameTracker, and were sad to have lost by just two points - so close. Saturday was full of playing Super Mario Bros. on the Wii (we're addicted) and having lunch with Danielle. And today, well, we decided we should finally clean up the house, do laundry and all of those other jobs we've been putting off. Oh, and we also cheered on the Bears as they won the final game of the season - at least they ended on a positive note.
As you've probably seen, Kim has also started a photography project this year, so you'll have to sift through more posts to find out what we've been up to each week. But hopefully you find the pictures slightly interesting...feel free to leave comments!

365 Project | Day 3
We've spent quite a bit of time playing the Wii this weekend, and we've really enjoyed the New Super Mario Bros. game. In fact, we've done really well in two-player mode - which is good, since other friends of ours have jokingly referred to it as "divorce mode"!

365 Project | Day 2
Who says champagne is only for New Year's Eve? I'm really enjoying the ability to change aperture on my DSLR so I can focus on a certain object - and have the rest fade into oblivion.

365 Project | Day 1
For my first post, I'm cheating and posting two pictures.
Peanut will probably be an oft-used subject for this project. After all, he's freaking adorable...though this face seems to say "Seriously, Mom?"

This one was technically taken two days ago, when I got my new camera, but I was so excited about the bokeh, I had to post it! And since we're taking down our Christmas decor today, it seems appropriate.

A year in photos
Happy new year! For 2010, I'm embarking on a photo project to document 2010 - and hopefully improve my photography in the process! So, you'll be seeing a lot more blog posts on here...a photo post each day, along with our weekly update. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!
What a busy week. Rather than typing out everything that's happened, here's our week in pictures:
Drive home was very snowy and slow-moving (I think there were about 6 inches on the ground when we left), but we made it back safely...and had a wonderful holiday with everyone.

In the holiday spirit
We got our first "substantial" snow of the winter this weekend. Ok, it was only 3/4 of an inch, but it was enough to coat the ground - and make it feel like Christmas is actually approaching. It's so hard to believe it's 4 days away. Where has this month (or year, for that matter) gone!?
On Friday night, Matt and Morgan came to town, and we headed to see TSO. As usual, they put on a great show, and they outdid themselves in special effect yet again.
Yesterday, we had hoped to go to the aquarium, but since it was snowing we decided to forgo that excursion. Instead, we hung out and played the Wii. After dinner, Kim's brother joined us and we headed to the bowling alley. This bowling trip was not nearly as successful (at least score wise!) as the last time we went - but it was still fun. And we were so glad we got to spend time with everyone.
