Yes, I love my dog child. I am so happy he’s part of our lives. He makes me smile every day. Especially, when he tears off running in circles around the house… just like he is doing right now! Love him! And you should too!

These photos were taken in the bathtub… after a romping in the Hawaiian red, nasty mud. Too cute! Two of my all-time favorite pictures of him.

I’m totally crushing on this Orla Kiely Travel Set. I’ll take one of each please… pretty please? Check out Orla Kiely for Spring/Summer 2010. So lovely.

Maybe this post should be “Whiteout Wednesday” instead! I’m sure no matter where you live you’ve heard about our Snowstorms here in the D.C./Baltimore area. It’s almost unbelievable how much it has been snowing here since Friday afternoon. The roads and sidewalks were cleared just in time for this new blizzard today. As much as it disrupts the flow of day to day life, I wouldn’t change it! It’s so beautiful. Really, just lovely. These photos are from this past weekend where we accumulated around 26 inches of snow where we live. Photos start from Friday evening.

So far today, we have new snow of about 8-10 inches, and it won’t stop until this evening! Complete whiteout at times with wind gusts at 30-40+ mph. Amazing!

So, after much debating, I’ve decided to rework the theme for Wednesdays… mainly to keep all of you from getting bored. Do you really want to hear about where we live every single Wednesday? Hm. I thought not. Wednesdays are going to be a wild card from now on. While I may post about our lives and where we live or travel, I really like the idea of keeping one day a week open to be about anything and everything.

RIP Where We Live Wednesdays. You had a good one week run.

Today, I wanted to share a couple photos of some fun we had while visiting family in El Paso, Texas this month. This was my first experience with a dune buggy, and I did not want to share the driving of this dune buggy! It was so much fun. Although I was picking sand out of my hair that night, it was an amazing way to spend an afternoon with my husband. Can’t wait to do it again.

Isn’t the desert just lovely? Dustin always jokes that El Paso has a beach. (Just no water!) Next time we’ll have to get some photos of the sunsets, you can’t imagine how amazing they are.

Happy Wednesday!
