Charlotte Noelle - 11 days old

Last weekend I got the priviledge of taking pictures of my gorgeous new niece. She was very cooperative and a pleasure to work with. I love George's expression in the last picture. Both he and Liz are natural parents and Charlotte is fortunate to be brought into their family. I love you guys!!

Our trip to Brek

We had such a great time on our vacation to Breckenridge, CO. We have tried to make it an annual trip, but we missed the past two years due to the girls being so little. We had a good sized group go this year. The house we stayed in was perfect, with the exception of its location. I think everyone got a touch of altitude sickness because of how high in the mountains it is. Besides that it was beautiful. The group consisted of my aunt and uncle, their two girls, my brother, friend Gery, friends Andy and Melissa with their two girls, and our immediate family. Ben was gracious enough to take the girls to allow me to go snowmobiling and skiing some. We had such a good time. Whenever I visit again I will try to go snowmobiling again, it was my first time and it was fabulous. My cousin Lindsay and I were paired up which was great. She rides on motorcycles and had the lean down for the curves. She also was wielding a camera, so we made a good team. Kara and Melissa were wanting to be a little more daring and focus on speed so that worked out well. But when we stopped to get hot chocolate Lindsay wasn't afraid to test the limits once I had gotten off.
