Family Portraits

We were excited to have Brandon take our family photo again this year. The last time he took our photo was in May 2009.

I think this may be the best picture of Darren and me ever taken.

I was quite pleased in the end, with the way our colors came together. Everyone was agreeable and just put on what I told them to wear.

They did a pretty good job of holding it together and not fighting, too much.

Don't we look like a happy family?

House of Mercy fundraiser

We joined our friends Amy and Ryan and Ella for a fundraiser dinner for the House of Mercy.

I was slightly overdressed, but it was fun getting dressed up.

Ella was an angel and she loved getting dressed up, as well.

Good Morning, Sunshine Girl.

She matches the bus.

Look who has agreed to go running with Darren--Noah and Bea. Amazing.

This is a major development.

And, they are off.  Good Luck.

Have I mentioned, I love June?

Not a Very Happy Day

Annabel would say that this was her worst birthday ever. She is now 12, and she was mad at me and I was mad at her. So, not such a good day.

She is not happy with her gifts.

Boy, it sucks to be a 12 yr old girl.

Darren has about decided he needs to celebrate his birthday on another day. Sharing is not all it's cracked up to be.

Maybe, next year will be better.

Are we still here? This wasn't what he had expected.

Janie is just happy to be out.
