Baby News!

We have another dove nested in the flowers in the grape arch on our patio! She's been there about a week. She's smaller than the first Mama dove. Now when we go out back, we have anywhere from two to six doves hanging around and cooing!

Wedding Dance

Remember the Lawn Mower Dance at Moe's wedding. Here is a video of the same dance - same participants at Sarah's wedding.


(This is the first time that I've uploaded a video - I hope it works.)



Wedding in Arkansas

Wedding in Arkasas

Sarah was getting married in Arkansas - Melissa was the Matron on Honor and Maddie was the Flower Girl. We had a great time seeing everyone and helping with the wedding. Here are some of my photos.

Empty Nest Syndrome

As the Beatles said "Daddy, Our Baby's Gone." After taking the photograph this morning, I went out after work to check on the doves and I found the nest empty! Our babies have flown the coupe!

Our Dove Family

Look at our dove family! The babies are getting big and are very alert. The morning seems to be the best time to photograph them. One of the babies is more outgoing than the other one. Can you figure out which one it is? He (She) was quite curious about what I was doing out there and would cock its head when I talked to them.

Bubbles at Meme's House

We spent Saturday in Victoria. It was such a pretty day that we went outside to blow bubbles. Everyone was in on the fun!


After a while, Maddie had to run through the sprinkler to wash off all of those bubbles!
But then she had to come back for more! :)

This girl is full of facial expressions! Don't you just wish you could read her mind?


Baby Birds!

The baby birds have arrived! I haven't had a chance to load the other photos that I have taken yet. This morning, the Mama Bird left the nest so I went outside and was able to take these photos. You have look carefully to see the second one.
