I found this picture from July 2007. We had spent the day with our friends at Lake Michigan.

Fall
It was such a beautiful fall day after all the rain we had yesterday.
Daisy
Early in the summer, Allan bought me two daisy plants off of the clearance table for about seventy cents each.
They have bloomed continually all summer and through the few frosts we have already had. I think these may be my new favorite patio flowers!
Feet (Take 2)
When we were at the mill the other day, we decided to try the Feet picture again. We really liked the first one, but wondered what Megan would do this time. Of course, she had to “steal the show” again.
Fairy Dust
For school today, we took the kids to see the play Peter Pan. When we signed up for it, we did not realize it was a musical, so we were a little disappointed. But, it was still fun to watch.
Adrian enjoys the story of Peter Pan and thought the musical was good. He was not impressed with the pirates, but loved the crocodile. Megan curled up on my lap and sat mostly still through the whole play. The other kids were glad we went too.
This afternoon, Adrian noticed that some of my pictures had unfocused dots (bokeh) in the background. He asked if I could please get a picture of him with the “fairy dust”. Maybe tonight, he will fly to visit with Peter Pan!
Flowers
Just before dinner, my littlest boyfriend ran into the house, said “pretend it’s not me” and placed a handful of flowers on the table for me to enjoy.
Newest Family Picture
On Saturday, I was behind the camera for most of Pete and Mary’s renewal ceremony. Just before we left, I was asked if we had a family picture taken. I said no. I was told that I needed to get a family picture. So, Pete (the groom) took this one of us. I think he did a pretty good job!
Pete and Mary
On Saturday, some friends of ours renewed their wedding vows. Allan asked Pete and Mary if they wanted pictures of the ceremony. Mary had not thought of getting pictures, but liked the idea. So, I had the privilege of getting some pictures for Mary’s album.
The ceremony was very nice. It was simple but showed how Pete and Mary want to follow Jesus and make their marriage special. I enjoyed being able to be there!
After the ceremony, I asked Mary if she minded getting a little cold. The fall leaves were so pretty, I thought they might like outdoor pictures. This one of them dancing is my favorite of all the pictures.
Intimidating
We went to the zoo for school today. The kids were supposed to observe the animals that God created and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Adrian was excited to see the tiger. He keeps saying that tigers (and Tiggers) are his favorite animal. At the tiger cage, Mark discovered a little “cave” with a window that we did not know about. He rushed back excitedly to tell us that the tiger was really easy to see there.
So, everyone ran and pressed up to the glass to watch the tiger pacing. When the tiger got close to the window, everyone realized how big tigers really are. Even behind thick glass, the tiger intimidated everyone enough that we all took a step back –at the same time– when it got to the window!
The Wood Family
S
ome friends asked if I would take some family photos of them. Jen asked that we wait for the fall leaves, and I think that we went on a great day!
Last Thursday we met at Bonnyville Mill for pictures and dinner.  The weather was warm and the leaves beautiful.  
After pictures, we enjoyed relaxing over dinner and talking. The kids ran around playing tag. Unfortunately, it got dark, so we had to leave.
Thanks Jen, for asking me to get pictures of you all! It was a lot of fun 🙂
