Let the Summer Begin!

Hey, ya'll!! Glad you remembered our little, neglected blog! About two weeks ago, us girls took an adventure to a lovely state park for a picnic, volleyball, pictures, rest, and relaxation! So enjoy the pictures, and have a marvellous Memorial Day!!

Hugs!!!

Of course, you can't have any sort of outside event on the blog without a picture of some kind of shoes! These, as you can see, are one of my many pairs of trusty flipflops.

Relaxing...

And laughing. Two of the things that make summer so wonderful!!

Art. (As you can see, I'm combining art with a weather report... a couple of clouds in the sky, but enough sun to need sunglasses. Perfect breeze... mmmm....)

What's a picnic without some form of chocolate - preferably in cruncy, portable form with a fudgey inside and speckled with walnuts?

I love you, Mom!

In which Sarah and Hannah try to get a decent self-portrait...

In which they try again...

And finally succeed!!

Up!!!
Nope, she's not really jumping in. =)

Loveliness. Don't you agree?

Reading Roberta... as usual. :D

Abby isn't sure about this floating dock idea...

All the girls!!

Hannah & Josh's Wedding

As most of you, no doubt, already know... I photographed a wedding in April! I had so much fun, and the experience was absolutely amazing. Here are just a few pictures to give you an idea... there are more pictures along with more of the story up on this post on my blog. It was absolutely fantastic being able to shoot with the super-talented Paige Elizabeth! Thanks, girl!

Cheerio, ya'll!

The girls getting ready.

At the ceremony.

Signing the marriage covenant.

Our family goes to church with Hannah's... so that's how we met up. She was a perfect bride and looked gorgeous all day long. =)

Thanks for everything, you two!

Time

It's just about that time again... time to cut the grass, get a tan, plant some flowers, and spring clean. Time for weddings, spring break, foreign travels, and church functions. Time for piano recitals and preparations for graduations!

Our family's been pretty busy these last few weeks. A few highlights of the many events we've attended and activities we've done include...

•

1. Working outside again!! We're glad to be getting our hands dirty once more, as the weather's been pretty wonderful.

•

2. Photographing a wedding. I, Hannah, got the chance to photograph the wedding of a young lady in our church. Pictures will be up on my blog soon, I hope! In addition to the wedding...

3. Visits with friends!! We got to see Paige again after seven years when she came up to photograph the wedding with me! We were able to spend a week together, shooting the wedding, going on excursions, and meeting people. Our family had TONS of fun, Paige - it was a blast!! Thanks for everything! (including the chocolates!) Pictures of that up on my blog soon, too.

4. Flipflop weather again!! HOORAY!!!

5. Yesterday (May 1) was Roberta and Hannah's last piano recital (in high school, anyway)!!! I'm considering going on to pursue music further after high school... while Roberta's not so sure. =)
•

6. Bike rides once again! (Abby's real happy about that.)

7. As for more advanced modes of travel... Dad sure has been doing a lot. He'll be leaving again soon for a few weeks, if you could keep him in your prayers for traveling mercies!

And, as usual... Come back again real soon, everyone! We'll try to become better bloggers... (and join the BBB? Better Blogger Bureau?) Maybe if some other people in this family would want to try out for the official blogger position... *hint*!

Till then, God bless!
