Retirement, Luke, and butterflies

Yep.  You read that right.  My mom officially retired!  I am so happy for her.  She has worked her butt off for many years, and she deserves this! 

I know she'll go through a transition period getting used to her free time, but she will use it wisely, and I am grateful that she has the opportunity to do this...

Cutest 64 year old I've ever seen!!

We had to say goodbye to Mr. Luke this year, special dog, never forgotten.

Wedding in Alexandria

My cousin Katie got married in Alexandria, and I got to take some beautiful fall pics.  Boy do I love Autumn.  Such awe and wonder and beauty.  God is Good. Anyone who thinks HE isn't "real" just needs to take a peek outside in October....Yep...the big big bang did that...  Ha-Ha.  :)

Naughty Peggy!!!

Happy Halloween 2014!!

Been awhile again....

Emily was a "cracked porcelain doll", Caleb was a monster, and Koriah was an adorable pirate.  Jon was...umm....Dr. Hunter S Thompson...(Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas anyone?!  )  Caleb would only let me take ONE picture of him...so that is why that's all there is of him...  :)
