Old Random Picture - Grandma Emr

Grandma Emr came in from Washington state to stay with us for a couple of days. Here she is with all of her PA grandchildren.

Fighting cats

While Doug and Michelle were away, we watched their cats. They have stayed with us before, and were wonderful, but this time we had Tommy. They didn't get along so great, but at least there wasn't any bloodshed. This cat is aptly named Chubbs.

This is Gray Cat. She seems to have a bit of a tude in this picture.

I LOVE this picture of Danny. He loved having three cats, and didn't seem to notice the tension between them. Trying to get all of them on the couch for a picture was challenging.

Danny was sad to seem them go. Maybe someday we'll get a friend for Thomas.

Hudson Paul

While I was in FL. I wanted a project for Mom and I to work on at night while Dad was at work. We made a blanket for new baby Hudson. It had been a long time since either of us did much sewing, but it went pretty well.

There he is! Super cutie!

As you can tell, Hudson is thrilled by the blanket. Of course Lori looks amazing already!

Nobles

Danny loves having Ben and Paige over. He asks for them often. Aren't they cute?

They love playing hide and seek with Dan. They run around the house screaming, then this happens.

Dan's Triathlon

It was a cold a very rainy morning. While taking this picture I was standing in mud over my shoes.

And they're off. Dan said the swim was really rough this year. Too many people all on top of each other.

Danny was very proud of his Daddy.

A victory kiss

Always a fun day

Dolce Seaview Photo Shoot

Don't' let these pictures confuse you, we didn't get re-married. Our good friend Doug Burns is an amazing wedding photographer, and he was asked to make a wedding book for the Seaview Hotel in Atlantic City. He knew that I had been itching to get my wedding dress back on since I wasn't' thrilled with our actual wedding photos, so he was kind enough to ask Dan and I to be his models. It was a very fun and very long day, but I love the pictures. I wish Doug had photographed our real wedding 4 years ago.

We picked out a brown tux for Dan just to try something different.

It was really exciting for me to get my hair and makeup done in A.C. I just told them to do whatever they wanted, and I think the results were great.

I feel you can get a good look at my hair here. I really liked it.

Don't' let the laughter fool you, laying on the ground in a tight wedding dress with 100 poky bobby pins in your hair isn't fun.

The golf course

The next set of pictures we took on one of the golf course greens. This is a really famous course on the Atlantic Ocean where different presidents and celebrities have played. It was so beautiful by the water, but this is when the onslaught of bugs started. Between every shot we were flailing our arms and screaming.

Isn't my hubby strong?

Into the reeds

Because the bugs weren't bad enough out in the open, we decided to step into the swampy reeds. Despite the feeding frenzy, the pictures in the bull rushes turned out to be my favorite of the whole day. It was totally worth it.

If I had to pick my one favorite picture from the day it would be this one.

Doesn't he look handsome? I think this is one of my favorites of Dan.

I couldn't decide if I liked it better in color or black and white

The setting sun made for great color

I think this one looks a lot like a picture we have from our actual wedding 4 years prior

A nice one with the hotel name in the picture
