The new couple

P's sister and her man have tied the knot!! The happy new couple let me do a little practice this weekend. They have already officially said their "I DO's", but they have a quick vow ceremony coming up next month. They've asked me to bring my camera and TRY to capture some good pictures of the occasion. I gladly accepted, but told them not to hold their breath!! ;) We were all at the g'parents house this weekend so I convinced them to let me snap a few "practice" shots to get ready for the big day. We can call them the "engagement pictures" maybe?? Oh well! Here are just a few..... (they were great to work with so that made it a bit easier!!)

E's photo shoot

After we returned from the doctor's office and park, we decided to go out and take some pics around the house. A was pretty worn out, so this shoot was focused more on E. She is just so darn cute! Check 'em out!

A day at the park

Okay, so A WAS sick with a fever, cough and headache beginning on Tuesday. So she stayed home with P on Wednesday and I made plans to take her to see Dr. Joe on Thursday. She slept all day Wednesday and really seemed to not feel well, hardly eating, not running around, etc. Come Thursday she is cool as a cucumber! She still didn't feel 100% so I took her on to the doctor anyway. I felt like one of those "over-protective" moms that doctors laught about when you leave. She was perfectly fine. No flu, no strep, no nothing. Apparently she had a short little virus that has come and gone. Oh well!! We enjoyed our day off and out anyway!

Since all was well and A was beginning to perk up, we decided to visit the park. Of course I took my camera with me to capture some good shots. I took a ton!!! Here are some that turned out pretty good. A getting ready to run down the ramp again.

E coming down the slide. Looks like she's having a blast.

E and A playing around the swings. E kept going round and round and round the pole while A played on the swings.

Isn't she just beautiful!?!

Getting ready to go down the slide AGAIN!

A is awesome on these monkey bars. She can go all the way across and not miss a beat! I've always said she was a little monkey!!

E just hanging out.

A posing for the camera! Beautiful!

E jumping from one platform to the next. I tried to get some cool shots of this, but I couldn't get back far enough and I still don't know exactly what I was doing!! HA!

A climbing on the gaint dinosaur in the middle of the park. She climbed all the way to the top!

E going up and down the steps. Thankfully there were no other kids there at the time!

A was a little disappointed in the fact there were no kids her age there to play with. They were all in school! She quickly got over it and had fun anyway.

Come on mom...another picture!! Geezzz!

A at the bottome of the slide.

E at the bottom of the slide. Check out that hair!

I thought this one was just adorable.

E running down the ramp full force!

Awwww....man! Do we have to go already???

Someone is not happy about leaving (and maybe a little tired too!!)

All in all we enjoyed our day off. It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day and we needed the time off together. It's back to the grind stone now though!!
