Many More Photos

Real life got in the way of getting photos online. We’re now caught up, though. If you go to the photo page, you’ll see many new albums of photos, including from Christmas, and many of Elise.

Thanksgiving 2011

Elise had her first long trip, and her first holiday, when we traveled to Oji and Nonnie’s home for Thanksgiving. She did well, and really took to her grandparents (again). She also met her great-grandfather, and we got a nice four-generation photo of Pappy, Oji, Elizabeth, and Elise. It was nice to see everyone, and it was special that so many of us were able to gather for the holiday. We’ve uploaded some photos.

New Year’s Eve (really)

As I was looking through the photo directory on my media server the other day, I realized that I had never uploaded the photos taken on New Year’s Eve at Drew and Erin’s house. So, only five months late, here are the photos. It’s always good to start off a new year with good friends.

Christmas 2007 – the Year of the Big Question

Next up are several pictures from around Christmas- both at home leading up to Christmas, and from Christmas day itself. The big news, on a personal level, was that on December 23 I asked Elizabeth to marry me, and for some reason I’ll never understand but forever appreciate, she said yes. Stockings are her favorite part of Christmas, and we did our stockings on December 23, our last night at home before heading to my parents. I put the ring (well, actually the stone on a temporary setting – she will pick out her own setting) in the bottom of her stocking, and she was very surprised when she opened it. I think I had her convinced that this wouldn’t happen until late January or early February, when several of her work trips ended. So, now we get to plan a wedding, and a life together. Christmas was great, too. As with most years, we went to church on Christmas Eve, and then spent Christmas morning opening presents (including an autographed baseball by Mike Schmidt!), followed by a huge breakfast. Then, my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my Mom’s side of the family come over. We also got to go visit my Nana. All in all, a Christmas to remember.

	And for the trifecta, Elizabeth after opening her Nintendo Wii. Yes, I like video games, but this was actually on her list this year.

More Walter and Milo

Elizabeth could have a full time job taking and watching photos and video of Walter and Milo. I’ve uploaded a bunch more photos that she took of them.

Thanksgiving 2007

Now that the holidays have settled down, it is time to get all the photos uploaded. First up are Thanksgiving photos. Elizabeth and I spent Thanksgiving with her Mom, stepdad Mel, sister Meredith, and brother-in-law Aaron in Greenville, South Carolina. Due to traffic and a road closure from an accident, our 8-9 hour drive turned into 14 hours, but it was well worth it. We had a nice, relaxing stay, and it was nice to spend time with Elizabeth’s family. We also got to see My Fair Lady, which asked the question we all ask- “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” That was also my first time in that part of South Carolina, and I really liked the area.
