frychik: April 2013
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 24, 2013. How many pictures of tulips do I need? I absolutely love a market. When I travel my favorite place to visit is the market. Sure palaces, museums, parks are all nice but nothing gets my blood pumping like a good market. I so wish Portland had a big meandering public market like Pikes Place. It would fit perfectly with our big meandering Powell's books. If your not familiar with the gum wall. This is the gum wall. Gross but fascinating at the same time. So many gorgeous flowers.

frychik: August 2013
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. This morning I decided on a whim to head out with my camera. I ended up at the wildlife refuge. I haven't been there for a long time and I enjoy trying to "capture" critters as they scamper about. These creatures are called Nutria and they are kinda cute until they climb out of the water and their extra long rat tails drag behind them. This one is gonna tick his momma off when he comes home looking like that! Besides looking for critters its just a beautiful location. But I have ...

frychik: September 2013
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. We had a very busy weekend. Which involved squeezing in a wedding. Driving to the Dalles and arriving at 11 pm. Waking up at 6am. And driving to Walla Walla only to drive back home the same evening arriving at 10:30 pm. But it was all worth it. For one thing I have found the perfect location for either of my boys weddings. One of my former students was married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. The weather was perfect! Everything was beautifully decorated. But that's all I got.

frychik: And that's a wrap...2013
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013/12/and-thats-wrap2013.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. And that's a wrap.2013. So Christmas has come and gone already and today is the last day of 2013. In some ways 2013 sucked. But I can't really say that because then I would be ignoring all of the blessings of 2013. Christmas seems to take its time getting here. But then it speeds by like a bullet train! Already it has been a week since Christmas Eve. Please notice the child yawning as he looks through his stocking. Being the photographer I often don't have pictures of me.

frychik: SNOW!!!
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013/12/snow.html
Friday, December 6, 2013. It's silly how excited our family gets even when there is a light dusty of snow. I feel sorry for those people that are jaded. The ones who fear snow. And maybe I would be one of them if I had to drive in scary conditions. But being a teacher and now a photographer. Snow days are just part of my life. Snow = a break. I mostly love how it disrupts life. It gets us excited about what is in our backyard. It changes the ho-hum and makes it spectacular! People come out of their homes.

http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-wedding-dress-25-years-latter.html
Thursday, December 19, 2013. The wedding dress 25 years latter. I remember wedding dress shopping. I remember I had a pile of gowns in the room but I already knew that the one at the bottom would be my dress. I loved the material! I loved that it wasn't overly poofy! Such a shame to only wear it once. I loved it so much that I wore it as we left the reception and headed to the hotel in our little. I remember all the attention I got when we arrived at the hotel. The arms were even tight! I tried your wedd...

http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013/12/25-years-later.html
Wednesday, December 18, 2013. In some ways I feel like I've been waiting for this day forever! In some ways I can't comprehend that it is here! 25 years ago today we said "I do". I try to never take for granted my marriage. It has been the biggest blessing of my life. Because of the man I married I have two more precious men to love. Because of the man I married I have been able to follow and realize my dreams. This is true love :). December 18, 2013 at 11:39 AM. December 23, 2013 at 3:06 PM. So as anyon...

frychik: July 2013
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 15, 2013. We headed to Big Lake this weekend to camp with some friends who also have kiddos working at Big Lake Youth Camp. Our camp was located on the opposite side of the lake from the youth camp - which was perfect! 10 min drive and we could see our kiddos and have a flushing toilet! I'm not telling which I was more excited about. :). I had never been to this side of the lake and the campground had amazing views. It was I think quite possibly the prettiest campground I have ever stayed at.

frychik: June 2013

Thursday, June 27, 2013. Hmmm, where to next? Its a lovely problem to have. Too much time and wondering what to fill it with. I wish I could appreciate it more. I long for it when I'm really really busy, but when I have it I'm not so good at it. My husbando and I will be celebrating 25 years (if all goes well) of wedded bliss this December. Our plan is to go away. I wish we could close our eyes, spin the globe and where ever our finger lands that is where we would be off to for the next month. The bad ne...

frychik: November 2013
http://frychik.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 25, 2013. Last Tuesday my hubby's tummy was upset. To the point where he needed to stay very near a toilet. (TMI? Needless to say, an hour commute wasn't really doable for him so he worked from home. Ella was VERY helpful! Last week was also book club night. I had chosen the book Waiting to Be Heard - by Amanda Knox. I decorated Italian - not Christmasy as I was accused of-. We all decided she (Amanda) was innocent. My favorite meal this fall! She doesn't have a mean bone in her body!
