We went back this year, and while it was much more dreary and cloudy, I still took a little time to take a few pictures in the evening before the sun went down. Here's what I got (excuse the number of pics, I was just playing around with camera settings!):
Last year a few girls from work, Marta, Dawn and I, headed to Marta's family cottage in Barrys Bay. I woke up one morning to a beautiful sunrise and spent an hour capturing these photos.

This year Thanksgiving was split between the farm in the afternoon with my family and the evening with Matt's family. Matt went to Indiana to see a Notre Dame game with his brother, dad, and uncle, so I met him at his families in the evening. Ahh the farm - nice big open space in the country. Aunt Yvonne with the newest addition, little Blake, my cousin's son. Nice enough to stand around outside. Everyone pay attention to Jessica, haha. Mom and I in navy (OMG I look huge here!) Adam and mom He's so photogenic. Mom and Ashlin (aka my cousin Melissa's clone # 1) Now to Oakville - teeny tiny Notre Dame jersey for little baby boy or girl. PS - Matt and I match, haha, not planned. Beautiful table setting and yummy 3-squash soup! 20 weeks - half way done! A few pictures from the boys weekend in Indiana Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know that I had so much to be thankful for. The weekend before Thanksgiving Meg and I went over to Matt's grandma's house (Momma) to learn how to make pie crust and pies, in general. I know I could have just googled it, but she's been making pies for a long time and it was a nice afternoon to spend together. 32 apples. I still have some in the freezer to use. Pie recipe (crust is on another page I think) Momma mixed the dough while we peeled a sliced apples. That's a lot of McIntosh apple slices! Rolling out the dough as thin as possible Getting thin dough into the pie plate without tearing is a two-person job! Cutting off the extra edges I'm sorry do you think pies are healthy? Crisco/lard/butter crust, sugar and more butter on top? Mmm delicious though. Cinnamon and drops of butter cover the sugar before the top crust gets done. Meg is creasing the edges to make it all pretty The finished (uncooked) product! Pie # 2 is underway (we were pros by then) Decided to try a basket weave top this time. Baking is messy. First pie (right) cooked, second pie ready to go (though I cooked it at home later in the week - left it frozen in my fridge until Thanksgiving, along with 2 other apple pies). We also did pumpkin with ready-made crust. And pumpkin tarts - so cute! And even more adorable with some whipped cream on top (at Thanksgiving dinner). Oh yeah and I "outed" myself by posting this picture on IG and FB, not realizing how "bump obvious" I was looking.
Yep, we're expecting! Due at the end of February - pretty excited!!! |
