Summer’s End

It’s been a long time since my last post, and it’s been a busy summer. After Christi’s shower, I hurt my back, so I haven’t been doing much. I moved houses; I now live with David and our four cats (!). By moving day, I was in pain and not much help, but luckily David helped every step of the way. What would I do without him!

Between that, planning the wedding, and starting a new school year with my students, nothing’s happened except the occasional photograph. Here are a few favorites:

And getting splashed…

Splash!

I did a lot of packing, and we decided to keep my dishes.

I gave some things to my little cousin Lanette, who has a new apartment.

Then, it was David’s birthday. His sister sent him a bouquet… of fruit! I’ve always been skeptical of these things, but it was pretty good.

I gave him a wallet.

It replaced his old one.

My cat had trouble adjusting to the move (she’s all right now).

We got our first engagement present! It’s beautifully wrapped.

It’s been a quiet and busy summer. I believe we’re caught up now!

Jeta’s Portraits

Enough still-lifes; it’s definitely time to put some more people here on my blog! Here are some shots from a quick portrait session with my friend Jeta, who has a beautiful smile. We laugh a lot when we are together!

Jeta gestures as she tells me a story:

Jeta is a great teacher, but I’m sure her students don’t know about her hidden modeling talent…

And of course, Jeta’s beautiful smile! Click to see the rest of the portraits:

Eri’s Baby Shower

This weekend I hosted a couple’s baby shower for my best friend Eri & her husband Michael. It was great fun. It’s been so nice to see Eri’s tummy grow–her baby’s almost here! Click to see all the pictures, but here are a few previews:

I love the way Michael’s looking at his baby daughter:
