Because it is a special day


a special celebration for her:






(she's the one with the awesome smile and the springy totally enviable hair)




and one of the most dramatic backpackers I've ever hiked with :-)






and because today is a special day of celebration for him:

it's like a where's waldo to find him....but really--this shot of his face I totally enjoy--he's probably asking his dear 'ol dad when the wonderful-ness of the wedding receiving line would be over with...

this pic was taken within a few days of meeting him...note the hair on his head. I'm sure I don't miss it nearly as much as he does.

and one of my favorite pics of him and "the boy" with red hair[Z was "the boy" for the nano second of time when he actually WAS "the only boy" mixed in with all the girls]we are so glad for all the boys that balance out the girls...and VERY glad for this shot--captures the two of you perfectly...






Happy Celebration day to you both. Enjoy the passing of time and the noise of the world around you...
