He is soooo cute! I just love him!

Have you seen this lens?

Nikon 85mm lens

This is one sweet lens!  

I used it Saturday evening to photograph a concert at our church, High Praise Worship Center in Panama City, Florida.  More on that in a minute though.

The color and clarity it renders is beautiful.  This lens is so sweet, and BUTTERY!  

speaking of buttery, look what I did for the first time EVAH on Sunday morning:

buttery biscuits

Fresh Hot fluffy home made biscuits.  so hot it melted all that buttery goodness.

But back to my buttery delish lens.  

At the concert saturday night, I got a lot of amazing images.  So, take a look at this:

David Cook

Do you know who this is?  American Idol’s 2008 winner, David Cook.  

Amazing performer.  

That’s not my picture though.  THIS is:

CJ - Eddie James Worship Team

Is it?  no?  maybe?  

That’s what we were saying!  He looks JUST LIKE DAVID COOK!  

Seriously, doesn’t he?  

Meet CJ.  He is part of the ministry team with Eddie James Ministries.  This group is amazing, you should really see them if you ever get the chance!

This was taken in our new sanctuary.  I’ll have more pictures to share later of the whole group, but for now, I really wanted you to see the David Cook look alike!

and the lens was awesome!  

tech info: ISO 1100, f1.6 @ 1/100  

no flash.  available light.

sweet.

Leave a comment.  Let me know what you think!

Yesterday was Stefanie’s first day back at work.  She’s been working from home, and she’s had a few times where she’s gone to the office, but yesterday she had to leave her sweet little boy at home.  

Of course I brought my camera!  Here’s a sneak peek of the pictures I made of him.  This is ‘tummy time’ after his second feeding.  He thought the dog Lilly was amusing!

We have a perfect TEN grandson!

he weighed exactly 10 pounds, 22 inches long and was born this morning at 8:34 am.

Thank you to everyone for the kind wishes, and especially the prayers!!

Love,

Ruth

okay, I just got back from doing errands, and I park the car. I see a delivery truck coming down the road, so I wait. I’m expecting something for the wedding this weekend. Thank God it isn’t breakable! Check out the package:

what’s that red thing in the background, you ask?

oh, NOW I can make it out. it says “FRAGILE”

I know my supplier uses lots of bubble wrap, so my goodies are safely nestled inside.

And I’m not going to tattle on the carrier, it really is one of my favorites – usually very reliable.

Isn’t that a hoot though? Do the workman even see the stickers?

The time went too quickly this past year! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season. I feel it – 2007 is going to be a ground breaking year. get ready for some wonderful things to happen!

I took some photographs over the holidays I wanted to share. I especially love this one of my son, Kevin. he’s such a goof!!

Happy New Year!!

A wonderful, cool but sunny day with friends! Tammy and Herman had a few friends over to celebrate their son, Evan’s 4th birthday.

Boys are so cute, the way they’re not afraid to run and play rough, or even pick up frogs!

See the slideshow of photographs here.

Phillip and I just got back from an amazing weekend in Castine, Maine. Our dear friends, Rosemary and David Wyman moved there a few years ago, and our trip was to catch up and visit with them.

I can’t really describe this place. It feels like somehow you got transported back in time about a hundred years. Back to a time where the neighbors all know each other, nobody locks their doors, and you walk just about everywhere you need to go.

The weather was beautiful, and the weekend went quickly! Check out the slideshow of images

The leaves were beautiful! we got there just as the leaves were turning inland. The coastal areas were still pretty green.

and how about THIS for a summer home? this lighthouse at Pumpkin Island was sold as a private residence. Can you imagine buying a house on an island in the middle of the bay?

We ate lobster everyday, and even brought some home with us.
