Sorry about that.  Over 2 months without a post?  I suck.  For various reasons, none of which are really interesting. Mainly once you go for so long and get out of the habit, it’s that much harder to post again because you feel like you then have to talk about everything that happened and so on and so forth.

So in order to get back into it,  I’m just going to throw up some pictures I’ve taken since my radio silence began.  And maybe I’ll have something to actually write about at some point too.  (We can always keep that hope alive, I guess.)

Here’s one from back in late October:

We went to an Oktoberfest fundraiser on the 80th floor of the Aon Center. While there, I nerded it up taking pictures. But really, you can’t pass up the opportunity to take pics of the city at sunset from the 80th floor, nerdy looking or no.

In November my husband built a kegerator for our basement. We’ll have 3 homebrews on tap at any given time and 1 homemade root beer. Sometimes we’re going to change it up with club soda so we can do homemade cream soda or ice cream sodas.

I also got a sweetass stroller that satisfied all of my many nitpicky requirements for a stroller aside from the “cheapness” one. But it will hold 2 kids in the same size footprint as a single stroller, can be pushed with one hand, can go on trains and such relatively painlessly, doesn’t balk at sidewalk bumps, and is generally pretty frickin’ sweet. This is me giving it a workout with Dorrie and my 2 year old nephew in it, and carring my 5 month old nephew in a wrap. And since I’m also 7ish months pregnant, that works out to 3.5 kids in that picture. I even impress myself sometimes.

I got a new flash for my camera too. It’s pretty sweet, except that I am so so SO not mechanically inclined and keep effing up pictures due to user error. This one came out pretty well, though, and now that I just figured out how to not tell my camera to turn the flash off when I want to use it (Yes, I was telling my camera not to fire the flash and then getting mad at it for not firing. I’m brilliant.), I think I might be back in the game.

We went up to my hometown in Michigan over Thanksgiving weekend and discovered that snowman building is the absolute most fun thing in the entire world – at least to Dorrie.

And then just recently I was playing around with my camera and Dorrie decided to cooperate instead of running away or refusing to look at me like usual. She was hamming it up like crazy and I ended up getting some really cute pictures.
