- Warning--This is a really LONG post!
My Sister & husband hosted a wonderful potluck on Sunday night for Fathers day & some June birthdays
It was such a lovely gathering & evening.
The hosts--my lovely sister & husband. Sorry--not a great picture, but the only one I got of them.
The table spread --what a feast!
Some of the lovely guests--friends & family
Sorry--not good shots at all, I wasn't paying much attention--just shooting!
A peek out the window--Such a pretty & enjoyable setting for gatherings!
My Nephew--How did he get to be 18 so quickly?
Another one of my lovely sisters--and her husband. It was Rod's birthday too.
My sister in law Lori came all the way from Michigan for this!
Just kidding--She and her boys spent the week here in NE, and she was busy catching up on all the family additions--babies, in-laws & friends.
When we camera happy girls get together, camera wars just seem to break out!
And then of course there's the pro--
"The Prairie Hen" at work
--Busy documenting!
Getting up close & personal. Wonder what she was taking this time? More than likely you'll find out if you are a regular reader of hers!
Speaking of getting up close--I zoomed in on those from across the room. I'm pleased with my camera so far!
And Homemade Ice cream too!! UMM, UM!
This little guy kept us entertained with his BIG blue eyes, and climbing adventures. He
isn't wasn't quite walking all on his own yet, but it didn't stop him from climbing. I'm wondering how my lovely niece manages to get anything done at all, with trying to keep up with him!
And we're off to the next adventure--one step at a time! What a charmer!
I wish I was an awesome photographer, and or an interesting descriptive writer and could match some of the other creative Fathers day posts I've seen.
I'm not & that's that. So I'll just post these--With Love to my husband & our son--Happy Fathers day.
Leon's 33rd, and Derek's 1st.
If you haven't met him yet, This is Zander, Derek's baby boy. He's the newest addition to our family, and I have to say we think he's pretty cute too! Born Apr 5, he's 2 1/2 months old now, and this was "Dad's" first solo outing with baby Z. I think he wasn't too worried about getting plenty of "help" from the rest of us!
No lack of experience with babies in this group.
Derek & his grandmas--G'ma J and G'ma Cilla
And another 4 generation photo to add to our growing album
these pics speak louder than any word you could ever write. to be together with family and friends says it all!
ReplyDeletegreat, great shots!
Didn't know anything about Derek becoming a dad, but the little guy sure is cute, all right! Nice to see photos of all these lovely people, too!
ReplyDeleteIt looked like a perfectly, lovely day for all! Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Baby Z looks a bit different since last time I saw him... considering he was only less than a day old!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to see pictures of what MY kids are doing! =)
Looks like you had a great day!!! And congrats on baby Zander! He is a cutie. :) Does that make 3 boys and 3 girls for grandbabies?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the newest grandbaby!
ReplyDeletedear Catching Glimpses,

I am glad you got some shots of the evening....That is more than i did anyway! I am depending on others for them for a while yet.
