I don't blog much anymore now that Facebook has taken over my life. But I know that there are a few of you out there who are not on Facebook so here are some links to photos taken in 2008.
Here are some shots of our fantastic and freezing trip to NYC this December. Sarah was kind enough to let us stay in her lovely apartment and even keep us company on our various adventures in Brooklyn and in the city. Thank you Sarah for making our trip possible!
Here are some photos of the girls (taken just the other day) on a mundane trip to the supermarket. Corduroy and Ballet Kitty came with us, as you will see.
These photos were taken in Baltimore last weekend, my own personal Brooklyn-substitute. I get my fill of urban-ity by visiting Canton and Patterson Park as often as possible. It's only 15 minutes from our house, even though we're in "suburban" Catonsville.
In November I completed the design, installation, and opening of the Albert H. Small Documents Gallery for the renovation of the National Museum of American History. Here are a few photos of the gallery.
I got a new bike before the weather got cold... I have ridden it ONCE, but I swear that I plan on riding it more once I get back into the swing of things at work. See, the goal is to bike between Union Station and the museum on the days that I go into the office. Good luck to me on actually doing it in the cold weather.
And, (how can I leave this to last?) we bought a new/old house in August! Here are some pictures from before we moved in. And here are some pics after we had lived in the house a couple of months. We hope to finish the basement someday, and we're currently working on painting various rooms. So, stay tuned for more pictures as the work is completed.
The girls are growing sweeter by the day and we are having a lot of fun together (between tantrums and whining, of course). I have high hopes for 2009, and although there are parts of 2008 that I don't want to say goodbye to, I am looking forward to Spring on our new screened porch, making new friends in Baltimore, and inviting old friends to visit us in our new house.
So cheers, everybody! Have a drink for me to ring in the New Year. I'm sure to fall asleep at 9PM next to my snuggly warm Eleanor. But hopefully I will wake up in time to toast you all properly at midnight.
