A note

I grabbed some old books this morning to donate to the school's book sale. In the process, I came across this note, written by a friend from Charleston when I left for Binghamton.

My sweet girl

One of Anna's friends was in a car accident over the weekend and broke some bones and needed to be in the hospital for a little while. Anna made her a card. Inside, it says, "I miss you Love, Anna"

Poppy

This sweet-cheeked girlie is Parker's best friend. She and her family came to our house to watch the half-marathon this morning. We played outside and ate breakfast burritos.

Besties

Anna had her friend Sarah over today. You cannot imagine the sheer volume of giggles. They are two peas.

Friends and fun

Three kids, a baby and a dog -- we can handle it. Poor baby Dean wasn't too keen on anyone but Anna, but he'll get used to us.

Downtown Disney

It was going to rain at the beach, so we decided to drive back to Orlando and find something fun to do before our flight. We met up with our friends Joy and Ian and hit Downtown Disney, which is free to get in but all about spending money.

Beauty

I got so many great shots this weekend, but this is one of my favorites. Sarah looks so beautiful and happy.

Rainbow

If I had realized I could capture Carolyn's hands folded in her lap like this when I was getting this rainbow picture, I would have kept trying for an even more defined reflection. It almost looks like she's praying.

Bachelorette gift

I made this sweet little reversible apron for a good friend's bachelorette today. She's a modern woman with some old fashioned values and her house is the same way, so I thought the pairing of this adorable modern pattern and cute old lace would fit perfectly.

Send off for a photographer

I was a social butterfly tonight. I had TWO plans! One of them was to say goodbye to one of my photographer friends from the paper, Will Yurman. Obviously there were lots of cameras around, and they actually liked mine. In fact, the one at the bottom here is the the G11, the version before mine.
