The Streetpoet

in our back yard.

It’s an orchard, so it’s not a problem to have an enormous mud puddle for days. The boys and their neighbors have been muddy for two days and counting. They’ve spent hours in the mud, and my shower still hasn’t recovered from all of them bathing after the adventures are over…a couple times a day. Jerome and I are learning about the River Nile and ancient Egypt in The Story of the World so it was just natural that one should appear in the freshly plowed dirt. It’s been a blast.

And the pictures of the wood and carving tools was taken by Jerome of his own carving with Daddy’s real tools!

I just wanted to give a shout out to Laura Milner who was the awesome florist for the wedding last weekend and also the great second shooter for me! She is so talented and creative and loves the Lord with all her heart and I wanted to give her a post showing her in action!

Love you Laura!

Standing on a hill at The Vineyards with the sounds of the waterfall in the background, just after the red sun dipped behind the low hanging clouds Friday evening, Marcy and Jonny pledged their faithfulness and undying love to each other. Earlier in the afternoon they shared a private “first look” in the bride’s parent’s back yard which made the whole day run so smoothly and gave us some beautiful pictures to run on the slideshow at the reception. (Big thank you to Peter for setting that up!)

Marcy and Jonny, thank you for the honor of shooting your wedding and making me a part of your amazingly beautiful wedding day!

“God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone,

but on trees, and flowers, and clouds, and stars.”

Seth’s Words:

“Mr. Sun is drying my water off!”

“I shot a bad spot off the world!”

Jerome’s Words:

“Seth, help me like a trained monkey!”

Ian was up from 5 – 7 this morning and woke Seth up around 6 AM so Peter made eggs and hash browns and we had breakfast together in the early morning.The boys and I got to go back to bed, but poor Peter started his day and went to work.

Peter told me that Seth had commented on the foggy morning, “Daddy, the sky is messy!” 🙂
