winter has arrived

Last Friday, I had a family shoot and when I looked out the window about 45 minutes before they were to arrive, this is what greeted me. Talk about making me happy! It was gorgeous!My new studio is in this building, but I shot this from across the street in the lovely park (which I will feature at another time). The restaurant below, Lurcat, has wonderful sliders and an amazing apple and cheese salad, but it doesn't open until 5, so we are rarely there. Maybe on some long workday in the future, but for now I prefer to leave the office early, enjoy dinner and bedtime with The Spawn, and then work late into the night after. Well, that's not really what I *prefer*, but that's what seems to happen.For your internet shares of the day:+ I have three great winter coats. So why can I not stop thinking about this one?+ Now that Ezra is talking more, there is so much laughter in the house. I loved this piece on conversations with kids.+ I want to make this soup asap. You had me at crispy, fried chickpeas.
