I arrived a bit early to the temple last week for my photo shoot with Andrew. This gave me the rare opportunity to be at the temple with some extra time on my hands. I took advantage of this and snapped a few photos of the temple. It is such a beautiful building with interesting architectural details and gorgeous landscaping. We are so blessed to live so close to it.
I recently had the privilege of photographing Andrew before he leaves on a mission for our church. What better setting than the temple?? He will be serving in the Germany Frankfurt mission.
We first met Andrew and the rest of his family when we moved to The Netherlands. Their boys are close in age to ours, so we became fast friends. Andrew is older than Helmut and Josh, but he was always so good about including them and making them feel accepted. Moving to a new place is hard, but he (and his brothers) made their transition much easier. Good luck Andrew!
I've taken a bit of a sabbatical from this blog as of late. I thought about posting many times over the last month, but laziness got the better of me. I am hoping the rest will give me the renewed vigor and desire I have lacked.
We went to dinner on a Monday night, and this is what we came home to.
Little Helmut's friend, Marley, was asking him to the Tomball High School prom (Don't worry. No trespassing was involved. She had contacted me to get permission ahead of time). The yards and yards of string wrapped around the bottom floor led upstairs to this.
144 balloons. Some empty. Some containing a magnetic letter, the kind our kids used to play with on the fridge back in the day. After Helmut and Sam sifted through all the balloons (and Helmut made good use of his hunting knives), they spelled out this.
Such a cute way to ask someone to prom. Prom is this weekend, so I will post pics next week.
