Pretty Much

I had a wonderful opportunity this past weekend

to take my Program Assistant, Brooke,
with me to the Northwest Ministry Conference in Seattle, WA.
Here's pretty much the only times I took out my camera.

I pretty much only took this picture because I watched Brooke
eat a burger that was as big as her 5 1/2 month baby belly.

I pretty much only took this picture because
I haven't seen the ocean in a LONG time.

I pretty much only took this picture to prove
we actually went and did what we said we were going to do.
And to show that it really was a HUGE church.

I pretty much only took this picture because
when you usually think Seattle, you think rain.
The entire time we were there it was GORGEOUS.

I pretty much only took this picture because
at Maggiano's (with our Friday night host, the fabulous Jess)
we received the "leftover cookies from the kitchen
that are mainly reserved for birthdays
that EVERYONE in the restaurant secretly gets"
from our waiter.

I pretty much only took this picture because
we COMPLETELY over ordered.
We had 4 FULL boxes of food to take back to
the front desk gal that told us to go there.

I pretty much only took this picture because
we couldn't read the bill.

Hats.

Ellie's World #4

"Puddles are like mirrors.
You can look at them and see your silly faces."

"That's the climber thing."

"That's my Daddy, he's just maked a nice face."

"It's too wet, cause it's just the rain that makes it wet."

"We just went and went until the water stopped."

(Tim took Ellie to the park to see how much snow was left.
I sent the camera along with her,
and these were her responses.)

Oscars 2010

I've been asking for a Lazy Boy for years...
so I can sit like this on Oscar night.

You won't believe who else was there.
Right at this moment she was jealous
of my designer wardrobe.

Apparently, if you're "new" you can get your hubby
to make your picks on the ballot.

Cadbury egg #468.

Chad's "Money Pit" laugh in honor
of Tom Hanks.

This is how my ballot turned out.
Not great.
No one owes me nuthin'.

A Letter!

Look! Ellie got her very own letter in the mail, and not only was it a letter - it had a little gift too!!!

Thank you, Auntie Gail!

Capture by Cornell

Sara and her dear friend, Stephanie, came over armed with their cameras and creativity to shoot the girls....

Love, love, love these.
