time for some changes!

hi there! my site has been live for nearly a year (yay!) and all the little ones that have graced the top of my blog have grown.  i've had the chance to meet some wonderful new babies and capture lots of laughter and love over the past year, so i decided it was time to give my blog header an update.

what do ya think of the new slide images? any winners that i should add back from the old set (below) that you're sad to see go?

i'm so bad with change...there's a good chance i'll wake up in a few days and miss some of these and add them back :).

more changes coming in the next few days over on my Facebook page too!

memory lanes | wickford, ri

over thanksgiving, we spent some time in rhode island with my family. after a few major eat-a-thons, we spent the afternoon at wickford lanes for some duckpin bowling (and a poor attempt at working off the millions of calories!).  duckpins are a thing of the past, there are only about 60 remaining places in the country where you can experience this fun twist on normal bowling. the duckpin balls are teeny, perfect for weaklings like myself or little kids.  i have pictures from when i was probably pre-school aged on these lanes, with my leg warmers, pigtails and saddle shoes.  chances are i wasn't any better at bowling last weekend than when i was 4, but it was still a great time with the fam for a few hours...even if we had no clue how to keep score!

it was so nice to be in this little time-warped building and get away from the daily buzz. always nice to find a way to slow down as the holidays and end of the year come rushing upon us. hope you had an enjoyable thanksgiving and are taking time to give thanks for all we've been given!
