Sunday Snapshots: Catching up

Again, I've taken a long break from posting here. All is well, but you know how busy life gets, especially during the summer. I'm hoping to be back soon with some fun posts that don't include just Instagram photos or Pinterest finds. But for now, here's what I've been up to lately.

Sunday Snapshots: Euro trip 2013

I'm clearly a bit behind  keeping you up to date on how I spent 2013. It was a great year, so as we head into a new one, let's recap over the next few days.

In May we took another trip to Europe, this time stopping in Paris, Prague and Berlin. Despite a very wet couple of weeks, we had a fantastic time.

Paris

We made sure to stop at Fargo Records in the Marais.

Place des Vosges

And, of course, Paris included lots of dessert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prague

The mister grew a mustache. Here it is on about Day 5

The Vltava flooded the city just two days after this photo.

Eurostache Day 7.

Very Kafka.

One of Europe's oldest vineyards.

All of the dessert in Paris, was replace by beer in Prague.

Berlin

Juxtaposition of Berlin's dark past with its developing future.

A raindrop looks like a tear at this Jewish memorial.

Scars of the past.

We met my dear friend Kathryn and her husband Matthias.

Mimosas with my Kathryn.

We're so lucky they could join us from Switzerland.

Lots of beers were consumed.

SundaySnapshots: Five of my favorite ladies

Five of my favorite ladies and I gathered a few weeks ago to bid adieu to Kathryn (bottom right) as she and her hubby take of on an overseas adventure for a couple of years. I forget how much fun we all have when we're together.

And also, happy birthday to Sarah (bottom left). I bet you wished for a MILLION dogs.

SundaySnapshots: Friends and family

Today I finally got around the toning and posting some photos I took back in February and June. I  know, I'm so on top of things.

Danny, Eliot and Tara in Minneapolis:


Smiley Eliot:




Super boy. I love his mop top.


Aww.


My sister's oldest, Elena. She's 8! Still can't believe it.


Maia in the middle. She's such a funny little girl.


And Little Natey.
