Introducing the newest member of our little family…Dashiell aka Dash. He is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and we love him. Once you see the face, you’ll understand. Since we have a tradition of naming our animals after movie characters, we had to come up with a very fitting name for a Corgi. We had a…
Out with the Cold: Some Favorite Photos from Winter
If you know me well, then you probably know that I LOVE Winter. It is by far my favorite season. There is just something magical and electrifying about winter. Snow makes everything glisten and blankets it all in white. You get to sit by a fire and drink hot beverages without feeling weird. Oh or…
Last D.C. Blog: Birthday Dinner & Arlington
Finally getting this up. Sorry for taking so long. My Birthday dinner was at this Italian restaurant, Tosca, near the White House. Expensive yes, but totally worth every penny. Delicious going down.

A few weeks ago, we had my dad and step-mom over for dinner to celebrate their birthdays.

We…
Melton Hill
Earlier this week, we went to Melton Hill so that Rem could get some photos for his friend James. James is writing some sort of comic novel based on a biblical story, but he lives in Texas and doesn’t have the right landscapes for his drawings. We had awesome light and Drew tagged along too!…
