Oh What a Weekend - Part III

I survived the first part of the weekend and was awoken Sunday morning by a mob of kids who could hardly wait to show me their handmade Father's Day gift (that Julie somehow managed to get done during the madness of Friday and Saturday). In a matter of seconds my bed went from a heavenly cocoon of hibernation to a tangled mess of bed sheets and tiny ice cold hands and feet. After graciously accepting my ceremonial offering I promptly kicked everyone the hell out of my room so I could grab a few more precious moments of sleep on this third and final day of fatherly féting.

Sunday was the more traditional Father's Day celebration of beer, barbecue and backyard football.

Fathers of the day. Some old. Some new.

Pregnant women love public displays of affection caught on camera.

Another long, fulfilling Father's Day weekend in the bag. We should do this again sometime.

Constable Darwin

While on their honeymoon in Europe, Uncle Kip and Aunt Corey picked up a British style bobby helmet for Darwin because, you know, he wasn't cute enough as it was.

The best time to take pictures of people... is when they're playing charades.

Weekend in Pictures - Wedding Edition

The Most Interesting Photo Shoot in the World

I had the great honor and pleasure of shooting wedding announcement photos for my brother, Kip and his fiancé, Corey. They had some very specific plans. I gotta say, best idea ever. These photos speak volumes about Kip and Corey. (And these are the ones that didn't even make the cut.) They had the last picture made into stickers to seal their save-the-date envelopes.

I'm just slightly concerned that Kip may actually believe that this is what marriage is really like.

Weekend in Pictures

This weekend started with a bathroom tiling project at my parents' house and ended with a trip to the emergency room for Jameson. Unrelated events. All is well on on both fronts.

This weekend's photos courtesy of Jameson (prior to the hospital visit).

Always and Forever...

My little brother Kip has found his LaFawnduh. After some dragging of his feet (though not as long as me), he's engaged to be married to Corey later this year. Congratulations, Kippy. I guess there was a babe out there for you after all.

What a Disaster

To the Bengals. Ugh.

Who Deyyyzzzzz...

Kip is trying to teach Darwin about the art of losing. Too bad neither of them can stay awake.
