some of my dad's photos...

My father before he died was an amazing photographer. While visiting home, I was able to rummage through some old boxes full of his slides and developed a few...the best are of his cross country road trip with my mother and a sheepdog named Bo (short for Mr. Bojangles). But I also love how he could capture the colors of the sky so well...Here are a few of my favorites:

tickling the ivories...

My favorite piano at home...someday I'll buy me that baby grand for my own.

snowflakes...the light up kind

stars and tree toppers

Can't we get just one photo right please??

The trials and tribulations of trying to get a good family photo...

my crazy family...

I was fortunate to spend time with my family over the holiday season- although it's been busy at times having a full house again (6 total!) but these are the times to cherish being together again.. quirks/levels of dysfunction and all.
