A little trip to Virgina!

It was fun watching the little cubs play with their Dad's tail.

Sousan and Lauren with the kiddos!

We decided to pack up the kids last week and head to Purcellville, Virgina with some of our good friends, Lauren & Maddox! Luckily, the kids were a dream on the way down and didn't even cry, which was incredible! We loved hanging out with Lauren's family and driving to Washington DC, to visit the Smithsonian Zoo. Purcellville, Virgina is absolutely beautiful. I could see myself living there for a long time, if we ever got the chance to. I loved how spacious the homes were and could only imagine how green and vibrant everything would have been in the summer! We will definitely have to go back sometime. Thanks Sweeny family for sharing your home with us! We loved every minute of it!

Little Peanut.

I quickly snapped a couple of pictures the other day of this peanut on the loose.

Happy St. Valentines Day!

To my one & only love.

Happy Valentines!

The bowing snowman.

Just showing a little respect.

(It was just too darn cold for him to fall.)

Another Snowstorm!

Snowstorm #2 hit us last week so we decided to make the most of it by playing outside! The medical students got the day off, so Ren & Gabe made a giant snowman, then we all went over to the Hill's apartment and played around some more & had lunch together. We finished off the afternoon with a little Wii competition! (As long as it involves beating the socks off of Brittany or Denzil, I am totally in!)

My first Bat Mitzvah!

I recently started working for a photography company here in New Jersey, who specialize in weddings and have actually been rated the "Best of the Knot" magazine over the past 3 years! And, a little over a week ago they gave me a job to go photograph my first Bat Mitzvah! I was a little worried at first, not knowing what to expect besides a big, glitzy party. I later realized, that these parties are like mini weddings, without a groom. They usually cost an arm and a leg & are to celebrate a young man or woman who is entering adulthood. It was funny being a head taller than almost everyone around me and I will admit, the party did bring me back to my college days when I would go dancing with my girlfriends. And yes, I did try and re-live a couple of those moments, dancing here and there while snapping pictures. In the end, I hope the girl whose Bat Mitzvah it was, enjoyed every minute of it!

(I was hoping to snag me a pair of those glasses..)
