A late post for DPP: December 25

I just realized I forgot to post the last photo for the December Photo Project - our Christmas day photo, duh!  My complete forgetfulness only reaffirms how amazing the day was, and I hope yours was too.

{I've been wanting to photograph a covered bridge down the road from us for years, and have finally found a hidden trail to a beach I could shoot from.  It it lit up in holiday colors this time of year, & my girl loved it!  I figured this one deserved a few more photos.}

I'm going to cheat & take a photo from a few days ago.  H & I have been home with a fever, I just couldn't muster up the strength to pull out my camera (unless you want another crummy cell phone pic of a sad baby sleeping).


{family photo - everything about this photo, from my waaaaay too small coat to my photoshopped-looking dog in the back is hilarious)

Today our neck of the woods had a 'winter storm' - funny, being from Michigan, that 4 inches of snow is equivalent to a storm.  I used to make fun of it.  But guess what?  Western OR does not budget for many snow plows and road maintenance during the rare snow days we get ... so now I get it.  

I especially get it after my 16 mile drive home from work took well over an hour, only to end up in a ditch on a blind corner right across from our driveway entrance.  It was a good place to get in an accident, if I had to choose.

I'm fine, and my boy saved the day, but I'm planning on hunkering down with Hazel through the weekend until some of this nonsense melts.

My car might not have made it quite as far, but I'm so happy to be here.
