Little Bears

I noticed recently that the youngest nieces and nephews have turned into little bears and they are soooooooooooo cute. See for yourselves...

Another Summer Wedding

Well, I thought it was time to post yet another amazing wedding from this past summer. Here is a collage from Wendy & Corey's wedding last May. They got married at a beautiful camp up in the mountains in Chilliwack and it turned out to be an awesome day. Wendy is the sister of another amazine bride I had in 2005, Elizabeth. I'll try and post that wedding in the future.

Here is their slideshow, or click on the photo below.

Wishing I was back in Maui - Part 1

Okay, so last night we got another huge windstorm and it snowed for the second time in a week. The weather has been absolutely nuts lately and I think yesterday was the 14th major storm of the winter. The one on the weekend knocked our power out twice. So, I really really wish I could go away. I would much rather be sitting at an ocean side restaurant eating yummy seafood, drinking pina coladas and then going snorkeling with the turtles and the fishies. And it seems like lots of other lucky ducks have done just that. I have clients in Maui and Cuba right now and it seems like tonnes of other people are posting their sunny vacations on their blogs. So since I can't actually go back I have to live with the photos from our last trip - see why photos are so important.
Anyway, I'm sure we could all use a good dose of warm sun right about now so here a bunch of my favourites from 6 months ago in Maui. I'll have to find the snorkeling photos with the sea turtles and post those later.

The side of Haleakala - where all the sugar cane is grown

The front of our hotel - The Maui Prince is very peaceful and relaxing

The beach at the hotel - with great snorkeling and sea turtles

Farther down the beach in the early morning

Best Family Dedication

Before Christmas my lovely brother-in-law and sister-in-law Ken and Heather had a great gathering of all the important friends and family in their life to celebrate everyone and thank them for what they are to them and to their children, my wonderful nephew Graham and niece Anna. And of course I had to document this Special occasion for them to remember.

Here's their *Slideshow* and a few of my favourite photos.

Everyone Gathered Around

Mom with Anna

Both Grandpas ( sitting under one of my

paintings which I'll probably never get back,

but it does look great at their house)

Dad and Graham

Have to have a photo that marks the time of year

Another Christmas gone too fast

Well I can't believe its already 2007. I am soooooooooooooooooooo not ready for the new year. The holidays are always too short and even though they've been relaxing, Christmas photos are still sitting in my camera - I haven't even downloaded them yet. I could easily do with another week of family and fun as well as eating and sleeping. I don't want to take down my Christmas tree either - although I think my pointsettas have to go soon, they're kinda wilting-oops.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years and I will try to catch up on all the happenings that have been going on : , new home renovating and unpacking (still going on), family dedications, Corporate Christmas parties, little kiddies and lots of gifties, etc, etc, etc....
