It’s not often Jake wears a bow tie, and Katie fought tooth, fang, and claw getting into her dress!

A little let getting these up but here are a few from my nephew’s 3 year birthday party.

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.
