Some words...

Hi there! I have to post my pictures from my laptop now, since I can't get this computer to work again (picture-wise.)

1. Maren got up on the Harley with her Papa O. She wasn't the least bit afraid. She didn't flinch when he cranked the thing up. I sure did.

2. Our visit with Brian & Shannon and their daughters at the lake was fun. Maren went on her first boat ride (pontoon) and did pretty good for a one year old. She also went swimming in the lake. She didn't love that, but I think it was due to the life preserver. We ate and drank and had a good time.

3. We went to O'Hara's first cousin, Carol's wedding up in Asheville this past weekend. It was a really beautiful setting, Claxton Farm(s). There were rolling hills and cows and llamas and goats. The ceremony was held out in the open and the reception in a "barn." The food was great and everyone was friendly! It was good to see Kathy & Al. They got us a "villa" to stay in for the night. It had 2 bedrooms/2 baths, a kitchen, & den. PERFECT. Maren got her own room, I got to go to bed early, and O'Hara got to watch the game. Win-Win-Win situation!

We're headed to Pawleys for 2 WEEKS!!!!! on Friday. I can't wait.

Absolutely beautiful. I accidentally got a shot ov an amish person. Total accident. They believe that photography=vanity, so I feel terrible. THe poor guy wet RUNNING to hide. I was just trying to get a pic of the incredible clothes line.
We had a great time on this trip. Maren had fun with her cousins and El, Jeff, Mom, & dad. Apparently she also enjoyed herself at Emily's HS graduation dinner. We missed her terribly.

Cory & Jennie's wedding was really fun. The hotel was great, company even better. I really enjoyed getting to meet/know both families. What a super nice group of people! Thanks for the hospitality!

Other people's kids...

 

 

 

 

These are a couple from MANY great shots I got of some of the children who are a part of Cory & Jennie's family. ADORABLE children. Hope I'll get to pass along the pics to the families directly!

A few over the past month! What a ham!!

So, It has been forever since I posted....

But, I've been wanting to put up new pictures and my camera keeps shutting down my computer every time I attempt an upload. BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
We are headed down to Pawleys today for Memorial Day weekend. So pumped up. Ready for some beach/family time.
A look back:

-weekend trip to Pawleys with friends Jay, Shannon & their son, Tanner- fun trip.
-joined the gym AND I've been going (pretty good, for me!)
-Maren's been enjoying the kid's care program at the gym
-had a GREAT time at Birdfest this year. Great music, old friends, good food (thanks to Joe,) fire, funny jokes, late night singing (thanks, Jamie!) Can't wait to do it again next year!
-spending time at the park, with the Foppe family, grilling out, getting some sun.
-O'Hara & I have been getting along great :)
-Maren is so funny, joking around, cutting up, learning so much. Can't get enough of her.

Overall, life is really good. Thanks be to God!

If I can get my camera to love my computer again, I'll get some freshies up of my girl.

Happy Memorial Day to all the brave Veterans who have spent their lives defending our freedom. Bless you!

Have fun & be safe!

ONE is so much fun!
