UPS, we love you!
So, if you have been keeping up with our blog, you will see that even Santa couldn’t make it on time. Unfortunately, along with Santa, USPS, UPS, and the garbage man are desperately trying to catch up! To those brides in places like Arizona where the sun is still shining, we swear this was a snow storm of massive proportion for Seattle that shut things down. We apologize for all of you...
Christmas at the Bowie's
As it turns out, Christmas is not just about my highjacked Christmas gifts. Who knew?? Although that did pose a bit of a problem as we’ve been anticipating Santa’s arrival with a ‘how many sleeps til Christmas’ countdown, we mananged to avoid the ultimate truth telling this year. Papa sacrificed his gift under our tree (a fabulously popular new electric train) so that...
The year Christmas came on December 30th
I have always been a huge fan of UPS. I mean, who doesn’t look forward to that big lumbering brown truck chugging up their drive. Tom, my UPS driver, is always cheerful and seeming to bring happiness wherever he travels. He brings treats for my dog and is ready with a smile and friendly hello as he passes over my parcels. It truly has always warmed my heart and could very well have made...
A Christmas Tradition
I like family traditions. Since my family is still a bit new (this is our 3rd Christmas) we are working on making our own traditions. The one thing that we have done every year is bake molasses cookies together that we then package and hand out to family. Cookies seemed like the most financially responsible gift since my husband has about 400 members in his Swedish family, and they have some...
The Crossett Family
Meet the Crossetts: Michael, Signe, Evan and Keara. What a beautiful family! Again, I went a bit nuts with the amount of pictures posted…
REALLY great
I have great parents. REALLY great parents. They have always provided for me physically, mentally and spiritually…thanks to them I’m not too weird and unbalanced like a lot of you wackos. I owe much of my success as a person to my mom and dad and the loving home that they provided. Anyways, my really great parents order Christmas cards this year, and I just thought I would share....
Raely Austin ~ 8 weeks
Babies make the best models. They offer a new expression with every frame; they are constantly changing poses to offer lots of variety, and seriously it’s darn near impossible to take a bad photo of such an incredibly charming, adorable subject. A sure success. I love those. Granted, they also have the downside of models being a bit high maintenance, and you have to work around their...
We are fa-mi-ly!
Being as it is the holidays, everyone is getting an extra dose of family. I hope that no one OD’s. As a celebration of family, here is an extra large dose of mine. WARNING: These images are the result of my camera being passed around at my birthday party, so no judging my sweet family on their composition skills. There are a lot here, but this is more for my mother’s benefit - hey,...
