Im an admitted blog stalker and just in love with this girl's photography. I would love to have her shoot our family portrait. Just have to convince Nic to spend the big bucks.

And she's off. . .

Well Belle has been walking for 3 days. She's taken some random steps for a couple weeks, but this Friday at our company open house, Belle decided to put on a show. With people just milling about, Belle wanted to entertain. She was babbling about and just being cute. Then she decided to crawl into a group of people, stand up and took a couple steps.

Well she has been working on this walking thing all weekend and she's gotten really good.

Here's a video of Belle playing in her room.

Was that a vacation?

We just got back from staying in North Carolina for a couple days. We were there for Nic's sister wedding. The wedding was very nice and I think everyone had a good time. Later Gail and Anthony took off for Pigeon Forge.

But while vacations are supposed to be relaxing, things got off to a rough start and ended the same way. Saturday before we left we were in a car accident. Minor, but enough that the van will have to be fixed.

We were still able to drive the van. Belle did pretty good on the way down, we just had to get out a few times for her to move around.

The day we were leaving I get a message from the former owner of Bean (the father of the current owner). You know it can't be good if your former boss is tracking you down on your vacation. =) Well Im gonna have to take a 50% paycut and go part-time. whoo hoo.

So needless to say, it wasn't that relaxing of a vacation.

Here are some pics

Me and Belle before the wedding. She was such a trooper. She was soo tired, but was able to remain relatively calm throughout the wedding.


Im not sure what is going on here, but you got to admit, its funny
