… have been beautiful
… have been full
… are not going to last
… the boys are still so very little
… there is magic
… are filled with moments too sweet to let pass by
… I am in love with the moments
… are going [...]
I’m stealing the title for this post from my friend, Dawn. We, too, were home for the Holidays this year. David and I looked forward over our next 17-18 years with the boys and decided it would be, oh, so much easier to travel with them in the future. They’re so small right now, so [...]
This will probably be the only picture of me this holiday. The toys have been opened (and abandoned for the xbox), the baby is napping and I’ve even got a load of laundry going. But we’re together and we can’t help but smile every time James tiptoes close to [...]
TEN WHOLE YEARS OF MARRIAGE. ten! Ten! 1-0! wow. And February will be our fourteenth anniversary of our first date… time flies.
Hope you feel better soon, Dave. I had to pull these from facebook because that’s the only place they exist now in digital form. The digital files were [...]
We’re looking forward to seeing our family over the next few weeks. The boys love their Uncle Jerry so much. He’s the best brother I could have ever ended up getting stuck with, you know, since we don’t get to choose our siblings and all. hehe! He doesn’t show up [...]
I had the privilege of photographing a wedding in Fort Worth this weekend and brought along my brother as a second shooter. I completely could not have done this without him. I know I could have … but it just would not have been the same. Totally would not have been the same. I [...]
I’ll post tree pictures later … and stick to some stills of the boys for now. I’m sure James will remember this for years to come.

Lowell finds one more his size.

This wasn’t the pumpkin craft that I invented with the boys yesterday (well, Tuesday, it’s after midnight) but it’s still painting and involves pumpkins… but actual pumpkins. Little ones. We made a trip out to the church on the corner down a few blocks from our house. That [...]
The first thing James asked for upon receiving his surprise package from Grandma in the mail this afternoon were some “jumping ramps.” I looked around and found some cereal boxes in the trash and quickly re-purposed them into new ramps for his car. Lowell likes the idea but hasn’t mastered the pull-back-and-let-go maneuver to get [...]
Here ya go. I will email it to you guys tonight with some of the boys.
We did this in, like, 5 minutes and the boys really do not like having a camera pointed at them (gee, I wonder why!) so not everyone is smiling but it’s the whole family. I have to say [...]
to my bro! I know I’ve said it in almost every way I can but THANKS so much for doing this for me. I love the pics and am totally looking forward to rocking out the OCF in the future.
You’re the best and if we lived any closer, I’d be dragging you into business [...]
Yep, too long! Let’s see, an update…
I’m practicing for my photog business that I hope to launch next year so I’m doing lots of practice sessions and WOW! So busy! K-baby went to sleep two and a half hours late Sunday night and woke up Monday [...]
