Engagement Pictures!

Today was a perfect day to get out and take some engagement photos of daughter #1 and her fiance, Luke, with my new camera. It was nearly 50 degrees and a bit overcast so the lighting was perfect.

We had a good time and Luke and Eden were great at acting natural.  We got some great shots.

I think this one is my favorite.  At least it is at the moment.  Thanks to my new 32GB memory card, I shot over 400 pictures today--so my favorite could change!

I ordered a few prints from Mpix.  Excited to see what they look like printed.

They will most likely do an official engagement session with their wedding photographer to make sure they work well together, but I had a fun time playing photographer today.  We're going to take more pictures tomorrow when we go horseback riding in Estes Park.

Til next time ~ find your joy!

Christmas Eve

It's a quiet Christmas Eve at our house.  We opened a couple of presents tonight to stave off the anticipation of our celebration Christmas Day evening when Luke (daughter #1's fiance) arrives.

I hope your Christmas celebration is all you hope it will be as you celebrate our savior's birth.

"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6)

'Til next time ~ find your joy!

Joy & Peace

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Hoping your Christmas is filled with happiness, love and peace.

Love,

My Little Man

This past weekend Jim and I helped my brother move into his new house.  I brought my camera to document this fun filled (*sarcasm*) event but we were so busy packing and moving I didn't take one picture.  Bad Kelly, bad Kelly.

My brother, Greg, and I did get a little break for an hour when we went to my nephew, John's, basketball game.  Greg is their coach.  Here I did take pictures!

dribble, stop, jump, shoot!

Why do I call him my little man?

~Because I've watched him grow since he was 20 months old (he's now 6).

~Because I'm his favorite Auntie (well, at least from my point of view and since this is my blog, that's the POV that counts!)

~Because I let him get away with just about everything~within reason (I'm practicing for my future grandchildren.)

We did get them all moved.  I'm too old for all this physical labor. I ache in far too many places.  Thank goodness we had a lot of help!  

I edited the photos with PW's seventies action.

Til next time ~ find your joy!  I did!
