garage sale

Ashley organized a garage sale on Saturday as another venue to raise money for the Alzheimer Walk next month. There was the usual stuffed animals, Barbies, kitchen gadgets & clothing.



















We also had more Lola bags on display to sell.





When things got slow Laura spent some time painting Jayden's toenails. That's the longest I saw her sit still all day . . .

















The garage sale was a success! Thank you to everyone who donated or helped in some way!

Jen & Ryan's family

Jen & Ryan have a home that also has an empty country school & a playground on it. A photographer's paradise! I had a great time. Unfortunately, Ryan was unable to join us.







Ellie is the oldest. She is beautiful & already displays the calm, assertiveness of her mother.







West. Cool name. Cool kid.







Tasha. Spitting image of Drew Barrymore. Has her mother's beautiful curly hair.







Dane is four & is a busy little boy! You can see the ends of his hair wet with sweat from him running around all over. He has a gigantic smile!







The kids all wanted to be photographed with their cats . . .









Thanks, Jen!

cats & a dog

Earlier this week I went out to Jen's home, a coworker, to photograph her kids. I arrived early to scope out the place (she lives out in the country) & found the cats to be quite entertaining.





































Charlie, the lone dog, was set free when we were finally finished.
