father's day party

it's been two weeks since we had a fun party at sara and dennis' house for father's day this year (a day early)...i took these images and then experimented a bit with color and cropping. i learned a lot, and my quest to find a comfort zone with the photos continues. our short time together yielded some great memories!

great-grandma bimmie looked beautiful:

little nova as precious as possible, getting a manicure from daddy:

dad with his precious grandchildren:

i pulled out some suckers to optimize the photo opportunity!

there was even some sharing with mommy:

bubbles were a big hit...this added a new word to aleah's vocabulary in a hurry!

we played with the lawnmower,

and the indoor helicopter (no family get-together is complete without it :)

sarah and aleah shared a book:

sara and nova shared a quiet moment:

everyone was very accommodating to let me practice some shots:

even dennis (thanks dennis!!)

after atticus and nova were down for naptime, aleah got some one-on-one with her auntie and uncle:

my beautiful sister!

to my dad, daddy (dale), dennis, grandpa boughton, phil, marc and all our daddies (and daddies-to-be) in our family, a very happy father's day!
