PHOTO TAG!

So I saw this on another blog and was intrigued. It's billed as a fun picture game. Here is how it works. You must go to your documents folder and go to your 6th picture folder, then go to the 6th picture in that folder and post it on your blog. Tell us a story about that picture.
Here's my photo:

July 3, 2005

Nolia was being bussed by Nolan.

I'm completely biased, but isn't she just adorable?

We pretty much spend every July 4th holiday (and the days just before and afterward if it's a weekend) at our family lakeplace. Everyone has a grand time and the 'boys' (now men) spend way too much money on fireworks that get set off at the end of the dock once it's dark. If we get there early enough on the 4th, we wave flags and yell encouragement during the annual 10am boat parade- a big line of boats all decked out in red, white & blue.

So I'm tagging everyone I personally know that has a blog: Aimee, Alison, Bev, Dana & Joy- you're it!

(Bev, I know I don't know you well, but I really enjoyed meeting you this past summer & I like reading your blog and seeing all the cute pictures of your unbelievably gorgeous kids! Hope you don't mind me tagging you). ;-)

Catching up

We visited Joy & Zach in South Carolina mid-November. On our way home we stopped at this museum & I took some really cute pictures of baby boy. I just love that smile!

David was baptized November 23rd. The service was lovely and David entertained the choir with his smiles during his time up at the front of the church. Afterwards the extended family came back to our house for lunch & Jamie took this picture of us all (well, most of us- Katrina unfortunately had to work that day).

Picking out a Christmas tree. It's our tradition to put up the tree the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving. Nolia picked a good one!

Joy & Zach came over and helped us decorate our Christmas tree & make gingerbread houses (no, not from scratch- from a very handy pre-fab kit). Here's a shot of Zach & Nolia clowning around.

This is one of the (doctored to remove red-eye) photos we're using for Christmas cards this year. Amazing how many shots it took to get just a few good ones!


Okay, so that mostly catches me up for now. Except for the masses of photos I've yet to even download to the computer. But that's for another day...
