family photo shoot

Dad+and+Diane.jpg

This is my dad and stepmom. They live in Florida and we don't see them nearly often enough. A couple of weeks ago, they came out for a visit, to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. I'll post a few pictures from the party another day. One afternoon, my friend

Sharon

met us for a photo shoot. It was pretty special, not only because we were all together (except we couldn't manage to get all of our husbands on the same day) but also because we grew up on this Navy base and this was the first church we attended regularly as a family many many moons ago. My sisters and I were in the children's choir and we were also accolades, which was so thrilling for us.

Here's my dad with his three daughters. I sure wish he lived closer.

St.+Peter's+chapel.jpg

The outside of the chapel. I should look for some photos of years ago when we attended so you can see the inside. It's so beautiful, with stained glass windows throughout. My sister Michelle and I also got married here.

My little Judah was very sleepy during our photo shoot. It had been a long day, with a tour of the

Jelly Belly factory

earlier and lots of playing with cousins.

I do wish we had some pictures with our husbands too, but I love these of the rest of the family.
