Photographer's pics

The photographer from Becca's wedding posted an initial sampling of shots from the wedding. Here are some of my personal favorites.

One year old

Today is Tommy's birthday. I wanted to get a picture of him looking all dapper in his new outfit, but he wasn't interested. One year ago today we went to the hospital at 5 am just the two of us, and we came home with this whole other person! The four days that each of my babes joined me are four of the greatest days of my life. It is such a gift to receive a brand new little person all your own. He has brought so much joy to our family over this past year.

Wedding weekend

My sister Becca tied the knot Saturday. It was awesome. I loved every minute, but got no pictures once we were all dressed and ready, because as a matron of honor, my camera around my neck wouldn't fly. Also, Jer was tied up in tommy duty, and car maintenance, as the night before the wedding the sliding door fell off our van. I like to think Jer ripped it off in a display of brute manliness:-)
A few of us worked together to do the flowers for the wedding, so I have pics of those here too.

Beautiful trees

With all the lovely flowering trees, and pleasant weather, I thought I'd try to get some pictures of my kids. Tommy wasn't happy about the idea, my older kids wanted to be on the other side of the lens, and the one good shot I loved was overexposed because I forgot to check settings when I moved from shade to sun.








Poor tommy, getting lugged around like a sack of potatoes. The baby in the family sure has it rough!
