4th of July & Auntie Penny's Birthday

Since I'm trying to get everyone up to speed with the pictures I took in 2007, you shouldn't be surprised that I'm posting pics from last summer. :) We missed being at The Lake, but we super thankful to be around family and had so much fun! It's been so nice to see more of the McLachlan side of the fam since we moved over here. We love you!

I hate being sick!

Sorry, no pictures today, I'm going home sick. I woke up with a fever last night but I still had to come in to work today. No worries, I don't think I infected anyone. I've been holed up in this little cubicle all day. I haven't talked to anyone...so unlike me. If our internet was consistent at home I could work from there, but it's been acting up.

I'm finally about caught up with my editing. In the next couple of weeks you'll be bombarded with lots of pictures. Just make sure you leave comments, because who doesn't like instant gratification?! ;)

Stock photos

Since I've figured out a fast way to post a lot of pictures, I can now show a few that are of little interest to anyone. :) These are stock pics that I hope to circulate at some point in the future. If you feel like it, let me know which ones you like best (to see the name of the file, just put the cursor over the picture.) Enjoy--or ignore.

P.S. if it looks like it's asking you to sign in (or up), just click the little x in the upper right hand corner of the album and it will get back to the pictures.

Family Shindig Album

Ok, can I tell you...this was SO much easier to post than adding each picture individually. Forgive me if I utilize this as my main method of posting in the future, it's just so much faster and nicer. I'll try to keep it varried. You may see some duplicates, sorry. At any rate, these are the pictures I took that night (not so many as normal!) Keep your eyes out for Jessica and John's wedding as well as Christmas and New Year's pics. Love to all!

Mae's Coming Out Party

Ok, Rachel gave me some pointers, so we'll see if this post is a little prettier than the last. :) In December, we decided that we needed a little more motivation to get settled into our new place, so what better way than to have a party? We finished moving out of our old place AND into our new one on Wednesday, Dec 12 and on Thursday, Sean, Rachel, Mae and Mary arrived for the weekend. Here is are a few pictures Mary took of us decorating for Christmas on Friday night...





It was really late and we were really tired. So tired, in fact, that it took both of us to hang the lights...

Oops, lost a picture here. grrr. Maybe I'll post it in the next one...

Everyone was so excited to see and hold Mae and she was such a trooper! Not a peep out of her!

Trying out Stephanie's real (?) fur neck thingie. We all liked it, but I think Mae was less than impressed. Watch out Sean, she may be an enviro after all! ;)

Well, I've tried posting more pictures 4 times now and have been thwarted each time. Not real excited about that. Still, I'll post this one and try again. I am the little engine that could...

Told you I'm no good at keeping up!

How does one put a blasted comment before these pictures?! This is all out of order...bear with me.

Ok, ok. I'll post. But just for the record, I did tell you that I was no good at keeping up with these things! And someone...anyone...please forcibly intervene if Dave and I ever try to move in December again. These pics are really before and after photos...yes, Dawson really did fall asleep like that!

Over the next couple of days I anticipate adding tons of new pictures (I edited over 1000 this weekend). I won't bore you with all of them, just a smattering. But right now I'm off to catch the bus! Aren't I a tease?! :)

Brook's Birthday

Well, since I am still so far behind with my editing, I will continue to recap the wonderful summer Dave and I had. Today, pics from my birthday suprise. Mary and Quinn came over for the weekend and we went to a Mariner's Game. Who did we see? Ken Griffy Jr.! And good times were had by all. :)
