    While we were at my sister Lorri’s house last night to watch Lost I found a very professional model! I didnt have to tell her how to pose at all! She was very easy to work with!

    My sister Lorri and I put together an early Valentines Dinner for Dave and Kelly because chances are they might be real busy having a baby on or near Valentines Day! Here is the dining room all done up.

    We made spinach salad, and pasta with marinara sauce and french bread. The pasta shells were shaped like hearts and were red and white.

    The living room was beautiful with red votives in the dividers

    These were all taken with the 5D with all the lights out and of course no flash…they made this camera for me! I really love ambient light so much better….

    We went to lunch, then onto her Dr. appointment. Looks like she is ready to go but it is up to Grayson as to when he wants to make his grand entrance. The Dr. thought it could be still a week away which really bummed Kelly out. She was believing that he was going to say she could expect to deliver any hour!

    We went to Joanne’s fabrics to pick out some material for the bedding I am going to make for the crib. I cant believe I didnt bring the camera with me on our trip today! But I did get her just as she was leaving….

     Our Lindsay made the Dean’s List! She is the most dependable person I know beside her Dad. The apple didnt fall far from that tree! She gets up real early in the morning so she can take the bus to college and gets home sometimes after dark. She has had her hardships but never complains and always does what she says she will do. She is not captivated by the world and does not go in for the latest trends and doesnt even worry about what she will wear. She is honest and works hard and she is getting a wonderful return for her all her work. She graduates with an AA this spring. We are so proud of her!!!

    My mother is out here for a visit, and she brought along some pictures she was sorting out from her mother who died last year.  My Grandfather was born in France and moved here right after World War I when he was in his early 20′s.  He returned to France when he was in his 40′s to visit his family and his hometown. These are some pictures he took while there. The thing that struck Kerri and I when we looked at these is the way he captured life on the streets of France. I’m sure it was a cheap camera and he wasnt thinking of photojournalism when he went over, but this small sampling shows what he took.

    She sid to herself, “If I only touch His cloak I will be healed.”  


     


    How many times I have leaned on this truth!
