A Beautiful Family

I had a wonderful time photographing this gorgeous family. They were so easy to work with....I didn't want to stop taking pictures!

P.S. Chris, I want your sunroom for a photography studio. You wouldn't mind if I randomly show up with clients, would you? {grin}

The Cemetery

God pours life into death

and death into life

without a drop

being spilled.

Reasonable Words

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Well begun is half done.

Game On

The two hour game of Monopoly, wherein my family got to watch Leif's prowess first-hand. That kid is a master player with focus. For the whole game. Luke's not bad, either. But watching a four year-old play Monopoly (well) is more entertaining than the game itself.

Casey was the background entertainment for the evening. Live accoustic guitar. And that ain't bad, folks.

Tradition

We had a beautiful day of Thanksgiving. Full of family love. We're big on traditions, and going for a refreshing walk after dinner is a favorite. So I'm going to be crazy and share those photos first. We did break with tradition a little {gasp} and stop off at the little cemetery instead of making it to the end of the road and back....

Great Grandma

My favorite part of Thanksgiving? My grandparents always visit from California. The boys adore their great-grandparents! And Great Grandma is always up for a game of UNO.
