Annoyed Rachael I believe that my first real mistake was taking a picture of Rachael when she didn't expect it; she wanted the camera after that. |
Weiner Bun I believe this was her first picture; it wasn't too bad. |
Skyline Kitty I got this one, though. It was a good shot of the silly cat. |
Doggy Portrait I've been playing with more close-up shots lately, and this one was a pretty good one. |
|
|
|

|
Matt The rest of the family started wandering in pretty quickly. |
Grandpa and Beth Much as I like Beth's smile, seeing Grandpa trying to play my Nintendo DS is weirder. |
Grandpa and Nintendo DS In fact, it's worth a picture on its own... |
Tim Rachael took this shot, I believe, and did a good job. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Matt, II She's got talent, that one. |
Grandpa I will always remember Grandpa with that laugh and smile. |
Playing with Weiner Bun The tennis ball was far, far too huge. |
Playing with Weiner Bun, II It made the game far more like soccer. |
|
|
|
|

|
Playing with Weiner Bun, III Soccer for dogs would rock. |
Playing with Weiner Bun, IV Of course, here he looks like like a seal. |
Lauren This was her first time home during her first semester of school. It was good to talk to her about that... |
Emma As beatific as ever. Oh, Emma! |
|
|
|

|
Rachael In one of her few moments not behind my camera. |
Mom I think that visiting Jeanne's place is one of the most relaxing aspects of her life. |
Skyline Kitty Oh, I *love* this picture! |
Jeanne She was looking at something, but I really have no idea what. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Beth *smile* My love. |
Matt, III Just a bit of a close-up. |
Tim, II I'M SMILING! WHEE! |
Emma, II If I'd been taking the shot she would have smiled; but since Rachael did it, she kindof glared. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Annoyed Matt Similarly, Rachael can get shots of her brother acting annoyed, whereas he wouldn't do that around me... |
Jeanne, II I think that Aunt Jeanne was amused by the commotion of Rachael taking pictures. |
Huge Bone We found this bone for the dog at Goodwill. Only $4! |
Confused Dog Okay, so it was twice as big as the dog. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Confused Dog, II Weiner Bun gave up within seconds. |
Lauren and Weiner Bun I think she misses her dog. |
Confused Dad I guess he was taking a nap. |
Looking Into Space This is definitely one of the better candid shots of me I've seen lately. Good job, Rachael! |
|
|
|
|

|
Odd Face The world deserves to see me making odd faces, since I've put such odd shots of others up too... |
Dad Reading the paper? Maybe. I'm not really sure what he was working on. |
Sudoku Mom She's grown obsessed with the games over the last few months. It's cute, really. |
Dad and Rachael Dad loves his nieces and nephews, if this picture didn't make it obvious. |
|

Cleaning the Plates Somebody has to get the dishes clean, I guess. |
Relaxing on Beth I like how I was too tired to wake up, but Beth was awake enough to smile appropriately. |
Danny Arrives Danny showed up a day into our visit, with Celeste in tow. |
Dad and Danny Our family laughs together a lot. |
|
|
|
|

|
Danny and Emma Danny had never tried Mario Kart DS before; and Emma had important social activities to organize. But does that stand in the way of cuddling? Of course not! |
Beth, II Beth loves the kids, the time to read, and the dog. To be honest, I think the dog is the best part. |
Talk to the Hand *smile* I love watching those two interact. |
Lauren's New T-Shirt Danny brought a bunch of them, and the kids were proud to get them. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Celeste She's enjoyed visiting with Danny in the past, and seemed just as happy this time. |
Celeste and Weiner Bin Celeste is always happy to see Weiner Bun too, just like Beth. |
Grandpa He's always confused when I pull out the camera. |
Dad and Celery No, I couldn't explain why he's trying to drive it into his head. |
|
|
|
|

|
Dad and Celery, II Showing off how it comes apart and you can still see the veins. |
Tim at Work Something had blown up back home, and I had to fix it. |
Matt at Work Something was blowing up on the track, and Matt had to fix it. |
Posing with Emma Everybody likes the new t-shirts! (Celeste, Emma, Danny) |

Broken Thermometer, I Yes, the air temperature is 122.9 degrees fahrenheit. |
Lauren Finds A Dog One of the running stories of our trip was that there was a missing sheltie in our neighberhood. |
Lauren Finds A Dog, II We (well, Lauren) actually found *two* shelties. |
Lauren Finds A Dog, III But this one was the one that we were looking for in the first place... |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Lauren Finds A Dog, IV ...and we were all insanely proud about it. Hooray for returning dogs to their rightful owners! |
Broken Thermometer, II Yes, the air temperature is 305.0 degrees fahrenheit. (And counting...) |
Greg I never really get good shots of Greg, but I'm continuing to try. |
Drinking Greg I should really bring my own Diet Coke next time. |
|
|
|

|
Turkey This was a quite tasty one. (I can get away with saying that, Dad can't...) |
Happy Dog It's good to have some attention, but not too much. |
Sitting Around I think we were watching a dancing video. |
Matt in His Natural Environment I can say this because I remember being in the same situation at his age. |
|
|
|
|

|
Having a Good Time Emma was enjoying telling her stories, and Beth was enjoying just being there. At least, I hope so. |
Glaring Greg It at least looks like him, even if the shot's not great. |
Dad and Cranberry Relish I think that this was because we had brought our own cranberry orange relish; I was worried before hand. |
Kroger's Oyster Crackers This is the best kind of oyster crackers in the world. Yum! |
|

Potatoes, Before Dinner I like Jeanne's potatoes. |
Potatoes, After Dinner I liked Jeanne's potatoes. |
Toasting Greg I think this is the best shot of Greg I've ever gotten. |
Tim, III That's me. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Tim, IV For once, I think the better shot was the one of me looking at the camera. |
Tim and Beth I hope it's obvious that I love her. |
Banged-Up Grandpa Grandpa fell on the steps outside. I'm glad he's okay. |
Smiling Emma I'm always proud of my cousins. |

Strike A Pose Rachael Vogue. |
Holding the Kitty Skyline Kitty can be held; it just takes work... |
Holding the Kitty and the Dog ...and not having Weiner Bun around. |
