I wonder what she’s thinking… Not many good shots from this year’s dance recital. The lighting is difficult, to say the least. But, I do like this one.

Marie, Genevieve and Lily at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Lily had a grand time using the iPad2 as her personal camera and photo editing device. I have no idea where Ella was when this picture was taken… or Michelle or Shawn. I didn’t take nearly as many…

Presents Are for Tasting

It was Genevieve’s first Christmas. The part that was celebrated in Birmingham included opening gifts over at Uncle Dan and Auntie Shawn’s house. However, it seems that paper is meant to be ripped off of the gift and then tasted. Over and over again.

Aren’t smart phones like the iPhone or Droid neat? Kevin sends us the “Picture of the Day” from his iPhone several times a week. When we were up in Birmingham last week we noticed that Genevieve works hard to free her hands before she settles in to…

Hartsfield (Atlanta) Airport: Wednesday 2006-04-19

by | Apr 24, 2006 |

About 2:10 pm EDT, we were checking in at the Atlanta airport – it seemed a bit more crowded than I had ever remembered. And, whoa! nobody was being allowed into the atrium or close to the security check point. Hmm… follow the line to it’s end out…

My mom cannot understand why we really like this photo. But, we do. She thinks she looks “all done in.” But, I see a serene smile. This is scanned from the box of old photos that we dug through after Stewart’s funeral. I hope that there are more to…

are beginning to be posted. The album is still growing, but you can find it here [no longer available] I’ve started with only 11 images, but it should be growing fairly rapidly for a while. With only 2 people giving me stuff, I found I had over 500 images to…

Soon I can post pictures

With all the wedding preparations, it’s frustrating not to be able to post pictures — in about 7 weeks tho, the wraps will be off the wedding dress, and the photos can go out for all (including Kevin) to see. Last week I watched a cold Marie pose outdoors…

Journey to myself

  • Healing
    Luke 17:11-19 offers us the story where 10 lepers ask Jesus for help. All 10 are cured of leprosy as they were headed out to follow his instruction to present themselves to the priests. Only one, a Samaritan (foreigner, not a chosen person) turns back to say “Thank you.” Jesus tells this one that his […]
  • Of Kings and such
    This Sunday the Catholic Church (at least in the US) celebrates the feast of Christ the King. Interesting how the readings for mass focus on shepherds and sheep and goats. Even the Psalm is Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd.) If you want to read them yourself, look here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112623.cfm The Gospel is Mt […]
  • Reconciliation
    What about this Sunday’s Gospel hit me? For reference, read below. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20. Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he […]
