An Adventure in Photography

So, after an extremely unpleasant and disappointing experience at JCPenney Photo Studios, Brian and I decided to take our own holiday photos of Sophia. I'll post some of the others later, but this is the one we ultimately decided on for our Christmas cards. If you're reading this page it means you're likely getting one in the mail, but consider this your sneak preview. Is our little girl not the most adorable thing on this earth?

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had so very much to be thankful for this year! First of all, our beautiful, healthy, happy little daughter who we love so much. We are thankful for all our friends and family, those we were able to celebrate with and those who are separated by distance but always with us in spirit. We are so grateful for Brian's wonderful job at Microsoft and for our church family here in Seattle. I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to excercise my craft at Taproot Theatre this fall. We are thankful for our wonderful marriage. We are especially thankful for and to a God who loves us beyond measure. And, we're thankful for our new camera that lets us capture such beloved memories!

One of the Thanksgiving tables set up at Cythia & Bobby's house. They were gracious enough to host 13 of us! It was great to celebrate with a large family again, something I've missed since being away from home.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went down to Portland to meet up with Lance & Carol and the kids, since they were up visiting Lance's mom for the holidays. It was such a blessing to be able to catch up with them and introduce them to Sophia...though admittedly, it was a busy week for driving! Here is Carol holding our little girl.

Here we have Lancelot carving up the roast beast.

And Nathan with his Pokemon of the day!

Hope you all had as great a holiday as we did! God bless!!
