Weddings!

Sometimes I assist Stephanie  with weddings. I help carry equipment, move the van when needed, if something's forgotten I go back for it, and I take a few shots throughout the day. So far this year I've been to two different weddings with her.

 Sometimes I like to take pictures of just things... I really liked this green lamp. I wish it could be mine.

This was a wedding in Waterloo. The couple rented a house for themselves and the wedding party for the weekend. It made for easy preparation the day of the wedding having everyone all together getting ready, and it looked like they had a good time.

Pretty sweet boots eh?

I gotta say that feet shots are one of my favourites.

Then this past weekend we were in Stratford in less chilling weather. 

The colours were yellow and purple, one of my favourite combinations. 

 

Steph had bought us a nice big box of Timbits which I think I ate most of. The flower girl spotted them and wanted some of her own, so there was a box just for her.

 Can you tell she's excited to be getting married? 

In the last year I've been to a lot of weddings (as a banquet server at an Inn mostly) and I'm always interested to see how a couple will add their own personal touch. This couple hired a horse drawn carriage for the day. 

After a day of following Steph around I really appreciate wedding photographers and everything they do. It's a very long and tiring day! But it's nice to sit down afterwards and look through the photos and see the smiles and intimate moments that were captured of a couples special day.

  

Sick...

Last week I was dying. It felt like it anyways. 

For about a day and I half I just couldn't keep anything down. Then after I had nothing nutritious left in me, my stomach still refused everything. I couldn't drink water or juice, I couldn't eat anything but crackers which just tasted bad and bland. I slept a lot and did pretty much nothing at all. Fuzz had to figure out his own suppers so he pretty much had pizza and perogies every night which would have been delicious in my opinion, but just not this week.  

Now today is Monday, and although I was feeling much better by the weekend, I still didn't do anything because it was my birthday on Saturday and I just was lazy on Sunday. So here I sit, looking at the giant mountain of laundry sitting at the end of the bed that needs folding, pretty much every dish we own has been used and piled high on the counter, and the dog's hair is lining every corner of this place. Gross. How can two people and one small dog make such a mess of a little apartment?

No pictures for now. Just lots of cleaning to be done. 

A Little Miss Leah-kins

Happy Easter!!! 

I know, a little late, but everyday is worth remembering the sacrifice that was made to pay for our mistakes. 

This Easter, seeing as Ash and Darryl were home with little Leah baby, I took a few pictures of their little fam. 

She also decided this past weekend that she is going to walk all by herself.

These were just a few of my favourites from the day. 

To the Beach!

Last week, seeing as it turned summer and all, I went to the beach! I'm fortunate enough to live only a 10 minute drive to lake Huron. Every year over winter the beaches change. You never know until the ice melts (if there is any ice), what the shoreline will look like. Sometimes it's just sandy while other times, like this year, it becomes littered with interesting pieces of drift wood and smooth stones. 

It can make it difficult to walk on but it sure is pretty. 

My sister, brother, and I went for walk. 

Hunter liked it very much when M'lynn threw sticks way out in the water for him to retrieve.

Isaac was gathering beach glass and finding cool rocks and sticks. Notice how I now have to look up to take a picture of him because he has by far surpassed me in height. 

The water was very calm and clear and blue on this particular occasion.

The grasses are just starting to grow back, ahead of schedule this year.

I even stuck my feet in! It was chilly of course but not as cold as I expected for March!

Unfortunately today we are back to regular temperatures for this time of year (a high of 3ºC today) and so I'm wearing my long johns, hats and mitts again. So far I have refused to turn the heat back on and am baking instead. Far from the summer like breeze of last week!
