O Christmas Tree

Tigers, and Spiders, and Peters, Oh My!

One Year Photos!

Peter had his one year portraits done at Sears, where they did a great job just like for his 6 month photos (which never made it onto this blog! oops).

I'm listing these with the sizes we ordered them in so those of you reading this who are getting 5x7s and/or wallets will know what your options are!

Eleven Month Photos

Peter turned 11 months on August 28. Unfortunately, the active guy did not want to stay still for pictures or look at the camera much, so these are mostly candid shots. Of course he's still cute no matter what! :)

Celebrating Two Years...

On September 2, we celebrated our second wedding anniversary!
Last year at this time, I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with this little ham...
He is definitely our greatest blessing and joy!
But we left him behind to have a nice quiet dinner at Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano. We had a delicious meal that ended with tiramisu for dessert...mmmm!
Our waiter was kind enough to suggest the wine room as a backdrop for a photo:

Teaser Pics of Julie and Andrew's Wedding

We drove up (or across?) to Missouri this weekend for Julie and Andrew's wedding. Unfortunately I discovered last night that when I copied my wedding pictures over to Julie's parents' computer, somehow my camera memory card got stripped. (I cried.) So unless we can somehow recover the card, I've lost the last month or so of photos. The wedding pictures are still on the computer so at least those are not permanently lost (and Matt is supposed to be burning me a CD and mailing it to me). Anyway, I only have this one picture that I had put on Facebook and a few more that I'm borrowing from Lindsey.

This was taken in the bride room while we waited for the ceremony to start. I asked Julie's dad to stand on a bench and take this from above and it came out pretty good.
[The rest are Lindsey's photos. She has mad photography skills.]

This was taken in the room we all got ready in, shortly after we all were finally completely ready. (Lining up by skin tone was unplanned!)

Twachel and Twisti - just under two years ago we were Maid of Honor and Bride! The Bride and Groom!
