G-Ville In Focus

Before presenting at a recent Engaged Encounter weekend, we took updated shots of the kiddos, printed and framed them. My absolute *favorite* part of the weekend is getting to share about our kids with the couples. They love it and GG and I milk the chance to talk about our little darlings.

Doing what he loves--the piano is permanently a part of M's life. Alleluia!

Jammy J, all smiles

G-Ville *finally* entered that land of advanced digital photography recently with an early Christmas gift from Mim/Pop (thank you!)--a Nikon 3100 digital SLR camera! We've been wanting one for awhile now, but have always ended up prioritizing other purchases before a camera. Mimi had actually purchased the camera for Papa for Father's Day (isn't she the nicest?) and he opted for another gift rather than go through all that's necessary in learning about a new and sophisticated piece of equipment. In stepped Santa Claus and now we have a new camera! Woo hoo!! :) We are loving it and are amazed at the quality of the pictures we can take even with amateur knowledge (Papa, pretend you didn't hear that :)!!!

Our little stud muffin.

M riding his bike for the first time without training wheels--July 4th! Love the outstretched hands of a faithful Daddy.

Celebration!!

Check out this adorable smocked dressed given to MG from Ms. Candi. Thank you, Candi! It is gorgeous!!

Can I help capturing my sweet girl?
Enjoy seeing our corner of the world in better focus!
God bless,

Love the updated pics! The kids look so big, especially J. Hope everything went well at your EE weekend. Good for Big M riding his bike without training wheels. A word of caution...now the fun part begins with trying to pop wheelies, jump off curbs, and ride down too steep hills with no feet. Boys are crazy!!
