The final picture of 2009. This was after a wedding we attended in Orsay, France. I think it is very symbolic of what the new year means to a lot of people. I know I am anxious to see what it will bring and also eager to take advantage of the motivation that comes with a clean slate.

I know that pictures of the Eiffel Tower can tres passe but I really love the way that this one turned out. The clouds make it look like it's about to launch! We were walking through the 7th arrondissement to see the tower (7 km each way to and from our apartment!) and once we got to the Armory Museum, the view was incredible!

I believe this is the last remaining Metropolitain sign with the cover that comes out from it. I spent a good part of my trip trying to find a poster of a sign like this for a friend who specifically requested one but no luck! This was shot in the 18th Arrondissement in the same area where the movie Amelie was filmed.

The day after Christmas is traditionally hectic. I made some returns, had to take my daughter to meet her dad at the Philadelphia airport, went to IKEA to buy said daughter a new desk for her room and then went to visit and old high school friend at work in the city. All of this while it was pouring down rain. Seeing this picture made me feel a little more tranquil inside.

One of the angels at Rockefeller Center in New York last week. The lighting made it difficult to get a decent picture of the tree itself. I remember always noticing the angels blowing their horns in front of the tree when I'd see pictures and it was just as cool to see them as it was to see the tree for the very first time five years ago.

This was taken the Friday before Halloween of this year. Molly's school had a costume parade and I was able to get off of work and attend. She was Coraline this year. Her wig was itchy. We bought a wig cap for the next day and it helped but then she complained that it was too tight. We couldn't win! She was still cute though.

The bookstore where I work hosts two knitter groups. The Thursday group knitted up a bunch of hats to donate to children who live in the mountains of Burma. The lady who was collecting them was born there and has been traveling once a year for the past 12 years to bring hand knitted hats to help the children keep warm.

This is one of my favorite things I brought back from the trip last month. An antique traditional Bavarian ornament. It's German but I actually purchased it in Vienna. I have a small Christmas tree on my dining room table that has nothing but German ornaments on them. I really love the look of the old Bavarian style decorations so I was thrilled to finally get one! I paid about 10 US dollars for it at the Nachtmarkt but in Germany, I bet it would have run me closer to $25.

The view from my bed in our Germany hotel gazing at the open window. They kept the rooms well heated so we needed a little cool air. I can remember willing myself not to take a nap even though the jet lag was killing me and I'd been wandering around all day. I managed to get myself back out and I had a great time!

From the same trip to NYC as the 12/3 picture. We stopped in an East Village bakery and I had a pistachio cupcake. It was different! I'd probably hit it again! The icing tasted kind of like Cool Whip. Molly had a huge slab of cheesecake that was almost as big as she is. This cupcake makes me think of the pistachios my Opa used to bring back from Turkey when he was in the Air Force. Mmmmmmm.

Back to Austria. I went to the Leopold Museum which was a personal triumph for me. I've always wanted to see the famous works of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele in person so this was a big thing to cross off of my Bucket List. I was super lucky in that this particular museum actually allowed photography without the flash!!! This is a detailed shot of Klimts Death and Life which was absolutely breathtaking in person!

I love cake but for my birthday, I always request pie. Not just any pie will do. I want a cherry pie from Delicious Orchards. They're a bit pricey I love them and my inlaws are more than willing to splurge for the cause. I was looking through my pictures and deciding what to post and this one just caught my eye! I guess I shouldn't post when I'm hungry!
