We met up with our old friends, the Coopers, to swap out family portraits (ie canceling out the "Photographers have no photos of themselves" curse of being a photographer). It was murderously hot, so we did them as quickly as frigging possible. That being said, we still got some great shots out of the session (Thanks Meredith!)

Which has sort of been a theme, lately.
Nathan and I have said repeatedly that we made a mistake planning back-to-back vacations staying in people's much-larger-than-ours-houses. It's been making us feel... well, discontented. And I don't like feeling discontented. I like feeling like I have the best little house in the world, in the best little area in the world.
But seriously I might shiv someone for an extra 1000 square feet, and the ability to let Neeps eventually play outside with a pack of neighborhood kids/run free on about five acres.
::sigh::
I comfort myself with the thought that my house will go back to feeling perfectly-sized once there's no longer Giant Baby Things (like highchairs and bouncers) everywhere. And my neighborhood is in the middle of being revitalized, so I'm sure that more young couples with kids will be moving in soon. And although I'd like to live on a stretch of land someday, today is not that day, because I love being able to commute by bike, and being so close to the culture/conveniences of downtown, including the airport, which we need to be close to for all the traveling that we can afford to do because we chose to buy a small house in a borderline neighborhood.
