Connections Fair

Yesterday, my church (Grace Fellowship Church) held the first of two weeks we call the Connections Fair. It's designed for church members and attenders to get "connected" with various ministries and Bible studies. Of course, I had my camera out for the event.

Yesterday was also the "back to school" Sunday and we were PACKED! This is our lobby during the first service...

Sheri's Garden

My friend Sheri has a beautiful garden in her back yard. She wanted some pictures of it so she can still look at her gorgeous flowers in the winter when nothing is growing. I had so much fun in her back yard!

Places

My family is living (at least for now) on the Caribbean island, St. Kitts. It's far away...but it sure is a great place to visit! :) I got to see their new home in February 2008.



My brother is amazing on a wakeboard:





My parents have a boat and they love to go to this cove to swim and snorkel. The water is perfectly clear, you can see all the way to the bottom...it's about 25 feet deep:





While I was there, my mom and I took a side trip to St. Martin:

Puerto Rico 4.2008

In April, I met my mom, brothers and sister in Puerto Rico for four days...a wealth of photographic opportunity. Take a look:

My sister, Ruthie...she's pretty easy to photograph because she's so stinking beautiful:











Finally, the beach outside the condo where we stayed:
