Feb. 23, 2008: Old Friends

My old neighbors and dear friends were in town, visiting from Germany this weekend. As always, I update their family photos when ever we are together. This was a really stinky day to shoot, don't let the lack of coats fool you. It was Cold!!!! Check out the ice on the ground. Tracy really wanted photos, so between shouts of "brrrrrrr" and warm-up trips to the car, we got some fun stuff! They even shot me!

My Goals for 2008

Sooo.......Besides my effort to be more "green", I have decided that his year I will donate 5% of my business earnings to "The Smile Train". It is an organization that provides free cleft lip and palate surgeries for those in need. I felt drawn to it because everyone desrves to feel smile ready. You can visit thier website at http://www.smiletrain.org/site/PageServer.


On another note, I am knitting again. It began as an effort to keep my hands out of the cookie jar at the end of the night, and now I am on a mission to knit 100 hats this year to donate to orphanages. Twelve down, Seventy-Eight to go. I will keep you posted. Hope to finish the blue one tonight.

After being stationed in Germany for almost 6 years, these two lovelies hadn't had a chance to be photographed for years. I was great fun to help them with their plan to suprise their parents with new photos. They braved the cold like troppers and we came away with such sweet shots!
