Flashing back to the "first" thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Edward finally made it home so now we can go to Thanksgiving dinner! He ran in the Turkey Trot 5K first this morning and got a new PR of 17:06.


This is what Ed always says :)

Bridgie's Turn

We realized last week that in all my running around taking pictures, I had not yet photographed my dear 9th grader. We had a beautiful day to rectify the situation though. My mother-in-law always warned me about neglecting the youngest one, but I don't think she needs to worry!

We Three Hydrangeas

I always like the look of these all dried out and brown in the fall

Pride & Prejudice

Maria & Bridget have been busy preparing for this play based on the book by Jane Austen for the past 6 weeks. Maria played a girl named Belinda who was a girl at the ball and Bridget was one of the dancers. They put on performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. We went Saturday night and it was amazing!

Maria played Belinda at the Ball.

Frick was outstanding as Mr. Darcy and Abby was a perfect Elizabeth

Bridget was one of the Ballroom dancers. I took this one at the curtain call.

I also caught a few of Maria at the curtain call.

Grilling Greatness

This past Thursday evening while the Queen Mother & Dad were in town, we went over to our church fundraiser at BD Mongolian Grill. John and Cathy spent some time as "Guest Grillers" stir-frying up the suppers of the guests. MCC was able to keep all of the money in the tip jar as well as $1 for each reservation. We had such a fun time with everyone there!

Love Thursday

What's not to love?

Falling Slowly

This past weekend was so beautiful outside that Maria and I took the opportunity to go on one more senior photo adventure. She has been too busy to go earlier! Sunday afternoon, we walked around downtown and focused on close-ups. Here are a few so far...

We had such a great afternoon, the weather was awesome, we took a potty break at the Amway Grand Plaza, we walked along the river. I could have done this forever and then I saw a hill covered with fallen golden leaves which added to a growing anxious feeling that this time is almost over. Maria didn't want to pose for me on this hill which I thought would have been emblematic of the time - she had about had it.

Beautiful Weekend!

November Sun

Wouldn't you just run for your camera if you saw these under the sun?
