Homecoming - the photo session...
and doesn't this pic remind you of her Aunt Margie?
(I've seen them, they are nice and straight - not sure why he wants to hide them!)
They look fabulous together!
And this is all the gorgeous gals!!
The whole gang - guys and gals!
When one of your best friends just happens to be a boy - your date (and his) both have to excuse you while your mom's decide that they need a shot of the best buds together!!
I'm taking bets that when we get this shot next year - he'll be a lot taller than she is -
even in her 3 inch heels!!
The gang all huddles up to discuss the evenings plans...
I like this shot because you can see how cool the back of E's dress is!!
We couldn't resist - one of the moms laid down in the middle of the huddle to get this cool shot! Too bad I forgot to turn on the flash - so it's kind of hard to see all their faces!

Primping for Homecoming
BUT... I did do a good job documenting on Saturday all of the beautification process!!
On to mani's - too bad they don't have 3 mani stations in a row!
The nail dryer doesn't stop them from engaging in deep conversation!
Oops - I've been caught!
We have to do some pretty strange things to become beautiful! - 1st the mohawk!
I'm not sure WHAT you call this look - besides SCARY!
Starting to come together!!
Beautimous!
Cascades of Curls!!

Starlight Waltz - check
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Feels like this month has been all about E!
Fall is always crazy around here because of Marching Band and JV Dance. It means we're going, going, going pretty much every week/weekend! It's also meant that when I'm home and at the computer - I'm usually trying to get something productive done - and thus, the blog has been a bit neglected!
And, although I've taken probably more photos this month than any other - I don't have most of them, because I acted as the assistant photographer at our Invitational, and I took them all on Lance's camera! But I'll send you some links!
Here are some links to some great shots of E taken by either me or Lance:
At the Game on 9/19:
E in an amazing toe touch during the JV Dance performance at pre-game!

E and N lead the band in review after their performance. N's plume fell off as he and Em switched places during the show - too difficult to reattach in the no time that they had!

I have been so bad!!!
In a way we did - we fell into the last few weeks of summer - and with all the last minute stuff before school starting, and band camp, I didn't get anything posted.... mea culpa!

Cottage Sweet Cottage
We play games... lots of game playing! Scrabble, Take 2, Dominoes, Phase 10, and Balderdash are all staples of Labour Day weekend at the cottage!
We celebrate birthdays! All the kids chipped in to get Poppo a brand new Purple Martin House. When taking down the old one - it literally slid right off the platform as the post was lowered to the ground! It was definitely time for a new one! A took one look at the new one and said "That's not a bird house... that's a bird MANSION!"
