I was going through one of my old cameras and stumbled upon some old pictures from last summer of Jake, Katie, and Amy. I’ve got a few Easter pictures to go through and then it’s the start of the engagement season!

I had several of my photographs chosen for the 2007 issue of the Door County Visitor Guide. This is a great honor as they have many great photographers that contribute wonderful images. Here are a few that were accepted.

My new niece. Welcome Kaylee.

A few from Christmas

No, not more cloths!

This year Jake & Katie really loved dressing up for holloween. Jake couldn’t decide between Thomas the Tank or Spiderman, but then finally settled on Spiderman his favorite superhero. Katie was a bumblebee.

We headed up to Door County for the Columbus Day weekend with some friends. Jake was really glad to have his cousin CJ around. We hit the pumpkin fest, did a moonlight hike, went up to the farm and went to a fish boil which was the first time for David and Sandy.

Amy, Jake, Katie, and me took a road trip to Colorado and into the mountains. I really love the beauty of the mountains—it rejuvinates me when I come here. I don’t get a chance to get here as often these days as I did when I was climbing some of the 14000+ ft peaks. But I still enjoy it.

Long’s Peak

A couple more images of Long’s Peak and an elk at dusk.

On the trail.

One morning I started up for Chasm Lake about 3am to get a sunrise shot of the east face of Long’s peak across this high altitude lake which is at around 11,800 ft. This next image was what I saw behind me when the sun rose and the following one is the east face of Long’s Peak.

Jake working the fishing pole and catching a trout.

I can’t believe Katie’s is already one year old!!

Of course lots of cloths for her from everyone.

Amy getting things ready.

Jake giving a great big snarl on uncle Jim’s Fatboy.

Went back to Door County for the Fourth of July weekend with the entire family. Even though the Egg Harbor fireworks got rained out we still had a blast. Jake got on the go carts though they still were a little loud for his 3 year old ears.

Highlights from Jake’s 3 year birtday bash. He was sure glad to see Ashlyn.
