Rescuing the Princess

Superman, newly caped, spent the day rescuing the same maiden again and again. She seemed to need it. He was up to the challenge though: rescuing her from the work of opening her presents, getting stuck in the tree, a rabid puppy and even managed to save her from eating anything until mid afternoon due to all of the excitement.

Engaged!

Congratulations! Jonathan Sadd and Rachel Snyder are engaged! WOO HOO!

The family (on both sides plus Mateo) lay in wait while Jonathan proposed during the sunset on the banks of the ohio river. Within a day of Rachel's birthday it seemed a great plan. We surprised them, toasted their future together and spent most of the rest of the evening in hugs and praise.

We love you both and are so excited for you!

Taking Pictures

It's been a while since I just went out and took pictures. Thanks, Al, for the inspiration. These are just a few around Savannah.

Photoshop and the Group Picture

There is a great temptation to take the best expression/head/pose from each person in a group shot in order to create the "perfect" composite of what might have been if everyone had cooperated at the same time. But, as my dad always says, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." In this case, a bunch of pics tells a much more interesting story than a single mugging perfection.
