Debbie and Sarah's Sunday School Party

The girls came over for a pizza and pool party. What a blast! The girls really enjoyed themselves, and the weather cooperated as well. The temperature was around 86 degrees, so the pool was very refreshing. As usual, the girls were very well behaved and a joy to have in our home. Thank you girls for being so much fun! I hope you had as much fun in the pool as I did taking your pictures. Yes Miss Stone, I did get you! Ha Ha Ha!!! Miss Bern too!!!!! :0)

Our Getaway weekend

Debbie and I had our little getaway weekend on 7/2 - 7/3. Went to Russels'(spent the night) and then went down to Randolph to pick up Joy's hope chest, made by an Amish man who did a very nice job! Really great craftsmanship. On the way there, we stopped in Ellicotville so Debbie could check out a craft show. While we were walking around the show, I spotted a photographers boot. I stopped in and immediately was greeted by a wonderful couple - photographers - who made me feel very comfortable, talking about myself and my photography. They were an encouragement to me. Here are a few photos I took along the way. Debbie's not too keen on stopping as much as I would like, so I can only get a few shots.



Anyway, after picking up the chest, we drove to Eric and Tina's home, where we fellowshipped with them and Pastor Darling and Rita, the Pearsons, and several members of their church. Had a great time of fellowship and they had a very nice dinner planned, and we were invited!

Sad to say Vinney was not present, as he is in the Marine Corps, and is away training for their imminent deployment to the Middle East. I took a few photos of your beautiful baby girl Vinney. Hope you like them!

Camera Gear NOT For Sale

Regarding my previous post of 6/25/10, placing my camera gear up for sale: NOT FOR SALE!!

I feel bad about all the boys and girls performing in the recital that were left out of my photo album because I listened to the voice of the "wicked one", saying I was not welcome there to photograph them. I apologize to Mrs Spaulding for having put my gear away in haste in a less than mature response. Please forgive my hasty response to an unfortunate incident. After praying about it, I have learned that I was listening to the wrong voices.

God has shown me that I have come a very long way in my quest to become a good photographer, though not yet having attained the level of "great".

I will not be putting my gear up for sale. Look for me to have my camera at or near my side at all times, and will be available to photograph your special events, families, friends and loved ones.

Mrs Spaulding's class recital

Friday evening, June 25th, Mrs Spaulding's students held their annual recital. It was a wonderful evening! The students showed progress over the last year, a testament to their faithfulness to their teacher and the commitment to their chosen instrument(s). I am encouraged to see how these young people have progressed, and look forward to seeing how God will use them in His service!

I am so sorry I don't have photos of all the children. As you can see, God is still working on me too!

Thank you Mrs Spaulding for all that you do with these, our children!

Grace Baptist College Tour Group

The singing tour group of Grace Baptist College visited Niagara Falls yesterday, Saturday. Joy and Leah were excited to greet them on their home turf. It was a wonderful day to view the falls, though it was overcast and windy. I believe we got as wet from the mist as you would had you gone to the "Cave of the Winds" or ridden on the "Maid of the Mist"

Hope you like the pictures girls!
