New Addition to the Family...

This new addition to the family comes in the adult form. My sister Anne is recently engaged to be married! Read all about Anne and Brian here.

We are so excited to have Brian be part of our family.

Today's Project

Matt had to work today so this is what I spent my day doing. Editing photos taken of Matthew's baseball team. For the past few season's Matt has used my photos to create posters of each of the players to give them as a gift. It is kind of fun and the kids love it. Here are a few from the last crop. I know that I post a lot of baseball photos but since it is ruling my life, that is what I am photographing. I don't have much time to photograph flowers these days.



This is a sequence of Matthew pitching that I did as an experiment (click on it to see a bigger version). It is pretty cool but I decided that I need a faster camera :)

My second family

I had the great pleasure of photographing my friend's family last weekend. I have been best friends with Stephanie since Kindergarten. (Not many people can say that they have had a friend for that long.) Her house was my second home and her family was my second family. I love these guys so much so I am always happy to see the. These were taken up at their farm in Midway. I so love it up there. Here are some pictures from that day.

Gotta have a tractor picture.

Looking up toward the hills.

A VERY old truck.

This is a familiar sight -- Steph's dad off on one of the motorcycles.

Out but not Down

Matthew's superleague baseball team ended their season last Saturday. They had to have a win to make it to the post-season tournament but unfortunately they lost. Guess what though, it is okay. Luckily Matthew is SO evenly tempered he didn't seem sad about it. To be honest, I am a little sad that this season is ending. Matthew has made great friends, Matt has made great friends, and even I have made great friends. The other families that we have spent our Saturdays with for the past few months are wonderful and I hope we will continue to "play baseball" with them for years to come. Thanks to all of the coaches that taught Matthew so much and made it fun to play.
