When do we see the weeds?

While I was watching Erin and Megan play in the yard today, a strange thought occured to me as they so often do. They were so fascinated by the weeds that were growing in the yard and they kept saying how pretty they were.

At what point in our lives, do we "only" see them as weeds?

In Costa Rica part II...

The day after the wedding, we took a ATV and zip line tour with our newlyweds! It was awesome!! Despite the fact that Dawn and I were sick, we had a great time.

Here is a shot from the coast while we were on the ATV's.
Jay on his ATV
The gang minus me :-( , I was behind the camera.
Here I am, thanks to my sweetie for taking the picture.

Here she is on the zipline. At certain times, we were over 300 feet in the air!!

Part III to come...

Here's my Grandma!!

We took today off and went to see my grandmother. We haven't gotten to see her much this last year, we figured it was time to make time. After we left, we went to see my Mom. This was shot from my Mom' house. Isn't she beautiful?!

Small accomplishments, thanks Mike!

Before they left to go to Washington, Mike told me that I needed to read more. I said, I didn't have time and he told me it was an excuse. You see the thing is, I used to love to read and I haven't gotten to do that since before I was in college. Well thanks to Mike, I read again last year and I kept track of the books that I read. Now, I don't get a lot of time to read, but I read when I could. The books by Mitch Albom, I would reccomend to anyone! Thank you, Mike, we miss you and Holly.

In Orlando with John and Heather and the girls

Well, we decided after a hectic year that we would take a couple of days and head down to Orlando. We had a great time and Dawn and I are already hoping that we can go somewhere again with them real soon. We didn't go to Disney or anything, we just relaxed and had a good time! I took a few images with my new toy the Nikon D3, I have been waiting on this camera since November. So far not a dissappointment.

Here's Megan at the Gaylord Palms, awesome atrium!
And Erin
I know it's hard to see her, but I like this one
The very patient family that put up with Javon and his tardiness.

Poor Megan, did Javon take a picture of you?
Thanks to Heather for distracting Megan for me so I could get one of her smiling.
Here's Heather doing my job, haha with her Christmas present. She let me borrow it the night before at Disney Village since my battery was charging.

Hanging out

Here's my girl
Almost there...

Erin was wearing out at this point
See Megan is already plotting out the next trip with Dawn and Javon. I think she's pointing to France.

At the bakery where Daddy had his awesome super Coca-Cola.
Megan locked her mommy and daddy out of their bedroom and we had to get the maintenance guy to let us in.
We played Clue the DVD version and I won.

Now it's back to work time!

Courtney and Dave, the finale!

Well here it is part 4! I can't believe that I am finally done with this wedding, I know Courtney is happy. This was a truly awesome wedding and I can't wait to get started with the album. This post is from the Bride and Groom pics that we put together and also the brunch from Sunday. Enjoy.

Unposed, after family shots
Not posed again after group shots
You guessed it!

This was one I put together...

This was from inside the Intercontinental by a red curtain.
A willing spectator
Awesome light!

I walked off to do something and I turned around and got this. Always be on your toes.
and never put the camera down
We went outside to play on Peachtree Street

A cool shot of Dave

and Courtney

From the brunch, man we were beat. We had spent over 16 hours on our feet the day before and were absolutely pooped.
If you ever get the chance, go get Sunday brunch at the Intercontinental, it was really good. Lots of fruit and Cheese!
