Cleveland, TN Trip

Steph's friend Val graduated from Lee University and we had the pleasure of being able to go two weekends ago and celebrate her success with her. Congrats Val!!!
Went to one of their old college haunts, a really cool market and deli, Gardner's Market. It had this cool sign above it that I liked. It wasn't the name of the place, just had the sign! Gotta love it!
The floating figure that was hanging from the ceiling fan had a band aid over her chest. I thought it was hilarious! Had to snap a pic of that.
Had a great time sharing an important landmark in Val's life.
Congrats again Val.

Christmas...Memphis...Fun!

Christmas in Memphis! Not with "The King" but with my brother, his wife Ellen, and my parents! We had a wonderful time. We got to break in Wade's new "Big Green Egg" grill with a wonderful prime rib that he just knocked out of the ballpark. Wade you did a great job as Chef! Ellen set up a beautiful table for us to gather around and did just a wonderful job of fixing everything else up. She is definitely the Hostess with the Mostest! The grandparents had a wonderful time with our daughter. Whole lot of love there! Gabby had a blast on her first Christmas!
I love this top pic of Gabby, that's a great feeling looking down and having your little one reaching up for you!
Best feeling in the world!
We got to meet W & E's new addition, their new Labrador Retriever Summer and it's always good to see ol' Guiness. Sweetest dog you'll ever meet.
Wade and Ellen are the most gracious of hosts and I "APPLAUSED" them for a great Christmas time.
Thanks guys, love you both.

Wilma's Maternity Images

I had the privelege the other day to photograph Wilma and Clay. She is pregnant with their first child and they asked me to capture these memories for them. They are going to be great parents and I can't wait to meet their son.
Thanks guys, I had a blast!

Reunion Trip

Merry Christmas everyone!! (Thanks, David)


Our family is very musical. We always end a get together with some music. Amazing Grace, Just a Little Talk with Jesus, Power in the Blood, Calvary, and some old stuff that was older than me.
Willard did an amazing job on Peace in the Valley and Faye sang her beautiful song, Precious Blood. Stacey did a fine job on bass, Chason, who has gotten so good, on Acoustic, Jim on Lead, Mark on keyboards, and Faye directed. :-) oh yeah, and Dalton on spoons.
Gag gift- Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer boxer shorts. Stacey was a good sport and tried them on for everybody.
Kelly getting picked on and calling out, "MOMMMMMMMMMMM"!
Shana, just as pretty as ever. I do believe she has gotten even prettier over the years.
Paula and Lane, good looking couple. We'll be doing a family photo shoot of them real soon.
Isn't this just precious?!?Aunt Mildred loving on some Gabby.

I liked this shot of Auntie M! Looks good.

Great Family and better yet, Great Friends! It was great to see you guys!
Dale, hammin' it up! No, No, No pics! Yes, yes, No No Pics! Yes, Yes!
Too Funny! So much like his Dad. A big cut up!

Sunday evening---the end of a very good and fast weekend. Filled with laughter and fun, family and friends, and you are lucky when you are able to call some both of those.
We were both exhausted but Gabby told me she had a good time so that was that.
Also, thank you to my wonderful wife for arranging and making this trip happen for us. You are truly a fine wife and partner. Thank you and I love you.
