Chapin Beach

Today we took a beautiful walk on the beach 

with my dad and Carla.

I always forget to go to the beach

even though we live so close...

I suppose it's that hiking in the woods is always my first thought

but every time I go to the beach

I wonder why I don't do it more often.

So there you go, one of my new year's resolutions:

go to the beach more often.

And in other news: this is it! I have completed 365 days of photos.
They might not have been posted every day (or even close)
but they are there!
I think for 2012 I will do the same thing,
although I will try a bit harder to post every day
(no promises, Andy)
Love you all!
Thanks for checking up on us!

Company on the hill

This weekend Grandpa Jack and Grandma Carla

came to visit.

Orin was so excited to have company

both at his house to show his toys to

and on our walks where he convinced his grandparents

to explore his huge sand hill.

A four egg day

Yeah!

Bog Walk

Hockey Man!

In case you are wondering why I didn't crop this picture,

it is because the red blur in the foreground is the puck.

I love it!

Merry Christmas!

This morning we woke up to Orin
bursting with excitement after seeing that Santa
had not forgotten him.
He got a truly unreasonable number of presents,
the favorites being a fishing pole from Nana,
a helmet, hockey shirt, and knee pads from mom,
and hockey sticks, a puck, a goal, and a soccer ball from dad.
We spent the rest of the day eating way too much
and playing soccer and hockey in the kitchen.
I can't imagine a better Christmas.
