The Canadian Tenors

I have been enjoying this lovely album be the Canadian Tenors recently.  Have you heard of them before?  Their songs have such wonderful harmonies.  And a couple are in different languages which makes them extra awesome. :-)

With the exception of "Remember Me"I really like them all. 

Here are Watching Over Me,

Because We Believe

And Belle.

Carolyn + Philip︱Engaged

Hello all!  I hope you aren't sick of photo posts. :-)  There IS sewing stuff coming, I promise.  A couple weeks ago Carolyn and Philip and I braved the gelid weather to get some engagement photos. :-)

Carolyn is in our local church, so we've known her for quite some time.  She and Philip just got engaged this past summer/fall.  They met over 10 years ago at a Bible camp! 

Philip is a medic in the army and just finished Boot Camp recently.  Carolyn is in nursing school.  They may not get married for another two years yet because Carolyn is still in school, but I'm so glad they decided to get pictures.  Wouldn't you want pictures is you were away from your fiancé for months at a time?  I know I would.

Check out the boots. :-)  Army issue.  I'm an "air force brat," as they call it but I don't participate in the rivalry between USAFA and West Point...ok, sometimes, and just in a joke.  Having family in the military and/or going into the military has given me a great appreciation for all military personnel.

Carolyn, you have gorgeous eyes!

Grandma like "Woah!"

So, my sibs and I pretty much have the best grandparents ever.  One in particular, Grandma Judy, is extreme.  Have you guys seen the first Hoodwinked?  (I haven't seen the second one so I can't recommend it)  It is pretty neat and one of the main characters is "Granny,"  or "GGG," as you find out later.  BTW, you say that "Triple G."  :-)  For a while my older brother has been calling my maternal grandmother "GGG" because she is so cool and it just stuck.  Recently, my brothers showed this Julian Smith video to my grandma and she kinda took a liking to it.



Julian takes some getting used to and his humor style isn't my thing, but he does have some funny videos. Check out "Handbag" and "With Child" for some laughs.  Anyway, she bought the guys gansta hoodies for Christmas, so we had to take a picture. :-)  Grandma is being "righteous" and reading her Bible. :-)

Preston Family

 Meet Grace!  Grace brought her parents up for a weekend at our house in early December.  :-)  You may recognize her, or at least her mother from her mother's blog, Humble Beginnings.  Jenny first came to our house about a year and a half ago and we had a blast.  This time we got to meet her husband and cute little baby!

 And of course, we had to take pictures. :-)  They were only here for a weekend and we had lots of activities planned so all of these shots are just around or in our house.  Enjoy!

Gracie, you are gorgeous. 

Check out the above dress!  Gracie's grandma made it all by hand. :-)  Isn't it gorgeous? 

 I love the expressions we got out of Gracie.

Thanks so much for letting me take your pictures!
