T wo personal posts in a row. I know for many of you faithful readers, this doesn't bore you, but for the newbies, hang on... some fun things are coming real soon! I never thought the blog would be slow at all in late June, but so it goes moving to a new market. I will have crazy amounts of posts every few weeks and then a little lull. We are rebuilding here in an over-saturated market, so bear with me, friends. :-) Anyway, this past weekend, we had a little getaway planned with my three brothers, my sister-in-law, future sister-in-law and niece... we chose a spot we thought was right in the middle of all of us... Luray, VA. What we didn't know when we picked the house was that it was about ten miles up a dirt road and that just about all of us would get lost and add a significant amount of time to our drives. But, we learned a valuable lesson in this trip... go where you know. Anyway... now that there are two babies in the family, we have decided we need to have a mini vacation together every summer so that the cousins get to know each other. So, this was the First Annual Getaway. And, of course, I had to take some pictures for everyone, including (mostly) the grandparents. In fact, mom, dad, grandma, etc. you won't see a single print until Christmas. We are going to torture you that way. ;-) Happy viewing, friends!
My oldest brother David with his wife Katy and daughter Eloise... remember them? |
| this is hands down my favorite of the three of them. they are such good parents! |
| i could just chomp on those cheeks! but check out the sweet drool on David's arm... two streams of it, actually. |
| Eloise LOVES the camera! Good thing. Every time she sees me, I will have it, pretty much! She is 4 months old, by the way... so... I am thinking... I did her newborn... did some 4 months... will see her around 8 months... and then, I will just have to see her around her first birthday to give the baby first year! |
| Eloise LOVES Claire. She was mesmerized by her most of the time, but this time, she is cracking up at Claire trying to put on sunglasses. |
| Eloise just tried to nurse on Claire's arm (note the drool there)... Claire wasn't too excited about that. |
| Here is my middle brother (2 of 3) Hank... |
| so, one of the things we talked about while we were together was how our dad tried SOOO hard to get a good pic of us 4 together every year (for the Christmas card, I assume), and it barely and rarely ever came out ok. Some things never change... the goof on the left is my youngest brother Daniel (more pics of him and his bride Angie soon). |
| David & Katy are pretty much the opposite of me when it comes to taking pictures. I have seen a total of maybe 3 pictures of Eloise since she was born (after my own, of course). So, I took a few random ones of her to fill the void. Like bathtime! |
| Next up... in a couple days... Daniel & Angie's engagement portraits! |
