Grandaddy

It's nice that Coop's family lives so close. We often have them over for dinner. This time Grandaddy joined us. Sarah is now a college grad and is back in Charleston too, so we see her often too. Coop grilled out and we enjoyed good company.

How can I help you?

My secret wish has always been to work as a cashier. When I was a kid, I loved the play cash machines. This summer I wanted to help Sr. Jane(a good friend and spiritual leader) at Pauline Books and Media (a catholic bookstore in downtown Charleston). So every Wednesday, I work at the front helping folks check out and I do other things at the store. Coop came to visit me on my first day and snapped some shots of my joy helping others get closer to Jesus while I fulfill my dream of being a cashier! High aspirations, I know. :)

Gianna's Baptism

These pictures of Gianna's baptism are courtesy of Jolie Marie Chenet Photography (in training)....:)












Cooper is so excited about being the Godfather...can't you tell. No, he really is. :)

Little Chubby Cheeked Gianna slept through the entire baptism! She is wearing Franz's baptism dress that has been passed down from generations. Yes, the rumor is true..Franz used to wear dresses.

The show was great! I really felt like I was in the middle ages watching them battle it out on horses.

We were rooting for our red knight. Each guest had a color designated to them. Our knight didn't do so great but it was so much fun anyhow!

We were served chicken, potatoes, soup, bread, ribs, all without utensils...just like the middle ages.

Maryland Trip

We went to the pool with Inshal, Rinju, and Jolie while we were in Maryland.

End of the Year Ice Skating

These are some of my students at the end of the year ice skating field trip. We had so much fun! I look forward to seeing them in a few weeks!

Tennis Kidders

This is Annabelle who is my little sweetheart. She will be moving to Florida in a few months. Her brother Henry takes lessons too and they are both awesome tennis stars!

So, I'm thinking about not teaching tennis (tiny tots sessions) this year so that I can focus on photography and teaching. Although I will miss the kids so much, I think a break might be good. It will be tough.....look how cute these guys are!
