working for THIS weekend!

i am so excited that this weekend is finally almost here. peter's mom is coming to visit us and has kindly offered to babysit for erik while peter and i go out for saturday night and all day sunday. so much to do in so little time, but it's going to be a fun and action packed day! we were initially planning on going to a movie saturday night and then have a nice dinner, but since the pens are going to be playing game 1 of the stanley cup finals on saturday night, we're going to search for somewhere good to watch the game. i think we'll probably still end up going to the movie, but maybe we'll go to a matinee at the waterfront before heading to washington. i am REALLY excited to have a night away with my hubby. it has been way way too long - well over 2 years! and then sunday is the comcast picnic at kennywood so we get free tickets, food and drinks. yay! and it looks like the weather is supposed to be nice too.

i still haven't uploaded many of my photos from memorial day weekend yet due to a host of computer/lack of time issues. we've been trying to get the house cleaned up and ready for our visitor, and at the same time get our computer cleaned up a bit and a new modem installed because our internet connection has been terribly spotty. and then something's happened to my cf card (from my rebel), and neither the camera nor the computer is recognizing it. i am bummed because i had a lot of pictures from around the house/neighborhood on there. i am going to talk to the pitt resnet people hopefully tomorrow and see if they can do anything to recover my files. they did such a good job with my computer that i am hopeful they will be able to help me with this problem too.

i did upload a few recent pictures last night. i'll save the family photos for another post, but here are a few others. i promise more will come soon, although it's not looking like i'll have much time during the weekend to work on it.

my aunt carol and uncle marshall have an awesome piece of property in waddy kentucky with some gorgeous flowers. i could have easily spent a day or more photographing them, however i just took a few minutes out of visiting family to take these.











and my favorites:





i have a thing for flowers in case you hadn't noticed. that's all for now. i need to get up and run around a little bit because it is getting late and my body is getting very restless! GO PENS!!!
