Funny how something as simple as listening to a song on the radio can bring back a flood of memories.
Jake & I were listening to a band called Pedro the Lion last week – and a rush of memories from Maryland came back to us. Our first white Christmas with Jason & Annie, spending every weekend at their house playing “domino”, bundling the kids up for the cold snowy days, experiencing a whole different life than Jake & I had ever experienced. Jake & Jason spending time together playing their guitars & writing songs - while Annie & I walked through a ridiculous amount of model homes. Experiencing so many firsts with the kids - most of Blake's firsts happenned in Maryland -his first steps, his first words & of course his first set of stitches :) It’s so weird to think of our time in Maryland – it seems like a life time ago – so many great memories!
We really enjoyed spending time at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore

looking at all these leaves makes me want Fall to be here now!
This morning Kenzie put in her Carrie Underwood CD on the way to school this morning – just hearing the first song brought back so many memories from living in Florida. It reminded me of driving around the curvy roads which surrounded the fields filled with orange trees. Reminded me of driving Blake to his T-Ball games at a field right by our house, driving the kids to school & then heading over to spend time at the daycare our family helped run at our church. Reminded me of friends & family that we haven’t seen for 2 years and of the house that we left behind. Some sad memories - but many happy as well.
our house - before the landscaping :)

Are there any specific songs or albums that remind you of a different time in your life?

Dave Matthews "Crash" reminds me of my senior year and my dating Sean in college. Good memories....
Van Morrison "Moondance"=first year of college.
Big Pimpin - a garage in Georgetown, with you all in the Dae -WOO!
And a few other embarassing song choices that remind me of dancing around our living room with you in Maryland.
And I was just telling Jason about the time we were playing Golf in your dining room and he was in a bad mood and we were all in his face humming the disco version of Beethoven's 5th, I was cracking up at that memory just thinking of Jacob's face.
Big Mouth Strikes Again reminds me of being stuck on 95 in New York City with Jay on our way to our honeymoon...yes, it's random. Ha!
Your right our time in Maryland feels like a different life.
LOL - makes me think Jacob & the bop-it - in your basement!
How beautiful the view from your house in Maryland was!! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Listening to any Pink Floyd puts me right back in my senior year of highschool...and any Van Morrison reminds me of when J and I were first dating. :)
