September 2010

I took a photography class from Kenny Simmons. It was so nice to spend a day around creative folks. This class really has re-kindled my interest in photography. I think Steve is even gaining a real interest (and he is pretty good too).

I love capturing moments in nature.

Lacey dog loves family time almost as much as I do!

Cameron enjoys playing at "Papa's River"

Dean preached at Mount Zion

Aly is not sure if she like river time or not

You always have to practice casting!

I LOVE my Tut, Tut!

I love the moon. On nights like this it makes me really want to paint more of my moon series that I started in college.

Tut loves hanging with me

So, Tut has never really liked stuffed animals or toys in general, but he has started to keep them and even sleep with them, just to keep them away from the other dogs.

I was hoping to keep snakes out of the house (see below) so we adopted twin kittens, Sabalo and Macabi. Macabi was loving and always playful. I think he had an identity issue and thought he was a dog. (Macabi was found deceased in the back yard in November. We felt like such unfit parents, although we are not sure what happened.)

Sabalo or Saba Kittie, is such a typical prissy cat. He is not very fond of the dogs.

They were so, so cute when they played together.

One evening after school, Steve posted on Facebook that he had found a snake skin on the stairs. Well, that only meant one thing, we have a snake in the house. Steve was fast on his feet and found the snake hanging out in the basement closet with the heating and air conditioning unit. The happy black snake was released in the wood pile with stick orders not to return inside. So far it has listened!

Dad and I before our first 5k!
