My New Favorite Subject

By Courtney 22 Comments

Okay, so this new camera is just way too fun. I am in LOVE!

As it turns out, I have a new favorite subject to photograph…

IMG_0127

I think I’ve taken about a gazillion pictures of Cody so far today. He’s just so stinkin’ cute – not to mention a whole lot easier to photograph now.

IMG_0136

Luckily, I managed to do a little bit more than just snap photos of this little guy all day. I enjoyed being a little lazy and playing some catch up; I had to make a couple quick returns to Target, restock on some groceries, and stop back home to pick up my laptop that I forgot there yesterday.

By the time I got home, Jay and I were hungry for dinner, so he actually took care of everything while I worked on packaging up all of the goodies for my giveaway week winners. (I’m still waiting to hear from one more person!!)

Dinner

Tonight’s dinner was totally delicious, and it was all courtesy of that talented hubby of mine. When Jay and I dated during high school, one of his favorite things to make was pierogies. I had never heard of pierogies before he introduced them to me, but I quickly learned that they are quite a delicious little item.

Tonight, Jay sautéed up our onion and potato pierogies with some fresh garlic, Garlic Gold olive oil, and tiny cubed ham. We had one more ham steak in our freezer, so Jay cubed it up teeny-tiny (which totally made me think of the ham they used to serve at Ponderosa – anyone else with me??) and added it to the dish.

On the side, we also had some fresh green beans which were also sautéed in some garlicky deliciousness.

After dinner, we attempted to make some sense of the living room (since it looked like Santa’s sack had been dumped right in the middle of it). It’s a work in progress.

IMG_0146

Then we had a few games of fetch…

IMG_0143

Still cracks me up every.single.time. :)

After fetch, it was time for a little dessert…

IMG_0165

Oh candy-coated caramel apples, how I adore you.

IMG_0166

I loved the fact that they were mini – it made it seem more reasonable to finish the whole thing on my own. ;)

Now it’s time to get ready to head back to reality tomorrow. Man, it comes back so soon, doesn’t it?

IMG_0156

Okay, okay. I promise, I’ll chill on the Cody pics now. I just couldn’t resist that last one.

Hope everyone had a great day!

    Totally know what you mean about Santa’s sack being dumped out in the middle of the room! We did some major cleaning today and now things are slowly getting back to normal!

    It took me quite a few hours to pack away all of our Christmas gifts — it’s a task for sure!

    I love the mid-air action shot of Cody!

    I haven’t had pierogies in ages! My mom used to make them. :)

    And I don’t blame you for all the pet pics … if I had a pet to photograph, I would totally do the same thing! Every time I go home to visit my mom, I take about a million pictures of her dog! ;)

    I recently got a nicer camera myself (Canon Rebel T2i) and LOVE taking pictures of my dog. It’s a great way to play with different settings and be assured you’ll get a great result (because the subject is so adorable!). Have fun with it :)

    Pierogi are amazing! My Polish relatives make them from scratch and they are absolutely amazing!

    I’m totally loving that Cody action shot hahaha. Once I start snapping photos of my dog, I end up with a zillion pictures afterwards. The cuteness is hard to ignore!

    He’s so stinkin’ adorable! I love your cat. :)

    I think I’ve had pierogies before; don’t they have potatoes in them? If those are pierogies, those things are delicious!

    I took a lazy day too, and watched movies and ate junk food. Probably not the best thing that I should be doing but…it was fine by me.

    I was introduced to pierogies by my bf too! He has an eastern european background and grew up eating fresh made ones. And I love them now! I’ve had so many handmade ones from this family on xmas this year! Yum!
