Daddy, Girls and a Saturday Morning...

One of my favorite pictures of my daughter and husband is when she was about 2 years old and he was cutting her fingernails.  I quickly grabbed my camera to capture a little moment between Daddy and his girl....him taking care of the little things.

So.... this past Saturday.....I joined ole Kevin and his girls for some pancakes and a trip to the beach.  With a little egg-crackin', nose blowin', coffee spillin' and doggy poop pokin'....we had ourselves a fun morning!
"Daddy, what's this?"
"I don't know, looks like a sea sponge."  "EEEWWWWWW - That's dog poop - E, I stuck my finger in that!"
"So did I, Daddy!"
 "To the ocean!!")

Thanks for having me over for a good ole Saturday morning.....

Lightening is Lucky....Right?

Sarah and John tied the knot late this afternoon.......beautiful location.  The skies were a little gray early on......but I, for one, was excited.  The temperature dropped.....the green from the marsh stood out.....the bridge was highlighted in the background.  Beautiful.  It looked a little something like this:

Check out the beautiful cross sewn to her bouquet......it was her mother's.  As is the beautiful wrap she wore for the ceremony.

Sarah was getting ready upstairs......when she caught a peek at her husband-to-be out the window....."Ooooh, I LOVE John!" she giggled....

I love Daddy's big ole grin in the background......

The ceremony was down at the dock and the scenery could not have been more beautiful.......the wind started picking up.....drops started dripping...and then it turned a little crazy.  The sky opened up and the bottom dropped out!  We squished under cover and got the deal done.  I think I owe the minister an apology.....I was clicking about 3 inches from his ear as I hovered over him standing on the dock bench.

On the way back in towards the house.....two by two everyone ran under umbrellas.....the bride's brother and the groom's brother-in-law got a little ~zing~ when a HUGE clap of lightening/thunder caught us all by surprise on the run in......  You know what I think?  Sarah's mother attended from above tonight....and I think she was raising her glass of heavenly champagne to toast to the new Mr. and Mrs.

Have a ball in wine country......

Shhhhh...birthday surprise for Daddy!

I got an email from a friend of mine saying 'Can we make this happen in a jiffy?'.....no problem - and how much fun did we have?  These three guys didn't wipe smiles off their faces the entire time....except when there was a boo boo or two - but quick recovery no problem!  How nice when it's HARD to pick out the sneak peek pix because there are so many fun ones to choose from!?!

I am continuing to work on editing .......will send you another email when they are all done.....but for now...take a look at these.

Dylan is 30!!

Oh Dylan....you finally made it to adulthood.....although we all thought we were adults when we hit 18 (puh-lease) and then we thought we were really adults when we graduated college (whoa - a whopping 22 years old).....but it didn't really hit me until I was 30 that there was no turning back.  Well, Dylan.  It ain't so bad.  Enjoy everyday and celebrate !!  Thanks for having us to your party!
