I recently had tho opportunity to shoot my first wedding. Although it was last minute because the first photographer wasn't able to make it, and I didn't have all the proper equipment, the Lord blessed and a kind lady in our church offered to let me use her Canon XTi for the entire day!

Overall it was fun, and with a few extra pieces of equipment, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Emily and Eliza

Waiting...waiting...

I think that this is the largest train I have ever seen on a wedding dress!

Liz grabbed some snapshots with my camera...

The whole wedding party...

Little kids just aren't built for these long drawn out ceremonies :o)

Throwing the bouquet...

Do you see this young man? Hard to believe our Dad is 50, isn't it? The kids put up construction paper posters everywhere to announce the occasion and we enjoyed a celebration yesterday evening.

We don't often post about Dad on here, but be assured that we think he is the greatest Dad in the whole world and love him to pieces!
-
Happy 50th Birthday, Dad!!! May God continue to bless your life in the coming year.

Here's the man!

Time for gifts.

Whoo-hoo... caught them smooching!

We put together a photo album with notes from all of us and, of course, lots of pictures.

Mother made a delicious, moist chocolate cake with homemade icing. The little things on top of the cake are a basketball hoop and players. Dad enjoys most sports, but especially basketball. He still plays too... and is good.

I love you, Dad!

Warning:

11 month old Nathan McDonnell of Sheldon has recently been seen happily toddling around on his chubby baby legs.

-

Nathan is discovering that this new found freedom enables him to do a great deal more "exploring" than previous days. His abode is filled with all sorts of interesting spaces & places that he did not know existed, until this point of success.

-

Liz and Em recently played their instruments in a wedding. They did beautifully; Emily on the piano and Lizzie on the violin. Great job, girls!

Girls Day Out

Two of our lunches at Panera Bread
Anyone know why I was so glad to smile this day!?

Kaity took these pictures of a cart in the Mall. Who would try to stick a child in that small of a space?

Waiting for Mom, who was looking at just one more thing

before heading for home. On the way home.
