SPONTANEOUS DAY TRIP!!!






Daniel and I decided to take a last minute road trip today to somewhere we've never been before. And that place was Bidwell Park in Chico, CA. We've heard a lot about it. It is after all the second largest park in the US, the first being Central Park in New York. We've been into parks and nature lately since we bought our camera that we're totally obsessed with. We call it our second child. It goes where ever we go and for good reason. We get to capture all the special little moments of a 15 month old baby D discovering nature. It's lovely (except for the mosquitos) and I have proof. Hence all the photos your eyeballs are going to see right now. :)

It's that time of year... again.




Yep. Another move for the Gallagher family. Our lease was up with the house we were in since relocating back to the motherland and we decided it would be best to scale down into something more comfy for a family of three and save, save, save for owning our own home, home, home. That will be one glorious day. The day when I can finally say "we will plant roots here for ETERNITY". But until then, boxes have been packed and unpacked, floors have been swept and mopped and swept and mopped again. I have made Daniel fully aware that we will be here until however long it takes us to only move one more time. Because nine times in less than five years is ridiculous in my opinion but alas... that has been our life and we have done many things most people would not get a chance to do.

On a happy note Daniel was able to buy the camera of his dreams after many months of saving. We bought our friends', the Rosten's Canon 5D because they too have upgraded and purchased the Canon 5D Mark II. Yay for them! Happiness all around people!!!! So thank you Lyn and Jesse. Your generosity never goes unnoticed. We've been playing with the camera ever since so I will leave you with a few pictures that I was able to capture this afternoon.
