Dinner with Andrea & Matt (6/09) Matt spoiled us by making us dinner and in return I tortured he and Andrea by making them pose for a few pictures... they look tortured right? ;)

Andrea's 26th Birthday (9/08) After many weeks of waiting the day finally arrived and guess what? The gift she already had opened WASN'T her "real" present after all! What a fun day filled with lots of love :) See the video!

Making the Birthday Quilt(s) (6/08-9/08) These show the process of creating Andrea's birthday quilt(s). The gift was kept a secret much to her chagrin, but was sure to be a blessing in the long run! See a video of Sheila and Allen with the quilt!

Opening the Wrapped Present (9/08) So after torturing her for a couple weeks, Andrea finally got to open her gift. We had such a wonderful time :) Make sure to see the videos!

Making Pillows (9/08) I got the honor of teaching miss Andrea how to sew! Our first project? Pillows for her couch! She made them and then dyed them; then we finished them up... they came out beautifully!

Wrapped Present and 23 Days to Go (9/08) Twenty-three days of torture until Andrea's birthday. But today she got to see and inspect the wrapped box. :) See the videos!

Star Search (6/08) In search of a gold star for Miss Andrea... the hunt, the find, the giving of the star over dinner with the girls... all precious! See the YouTube video!

Cleansing (6/08) Shot over a two-day period, this was simply us taking a moment to intentionally close some old doors to make way for what God has coming!

Andrea One Sunday (4/08) Random Sunday after church when my baby girl was looking pretty so I made her get in front of the lens :)

IHOP - KC (4/08) Allen, Sheila, Andrea and I headed to Kansas City to visit IHOP (the International House of Prayer) - what an amazing trip! See a couple silly videos too!

Easter Andrea (3/08) My pretty baby girl in her pretty dress for easter!

Random Friends (and Sketch) (posted late 07 and early 08) A smattering of pictures of different friends and my puppy. (Facebook album)

Christmas Eve 2007 (12/07) Andrea joined my side of the family for Christmas Eve :)

Andrea at Sioux (10/07) Late one lovely October afternoon - I talked Andrea into letting me take a few shots of her... gratefully, there were a LOT less bugs than when we had shot the Ashley's there the week before!

Andrea's 25th (9/07) Our baby girl turned 25! We got her a quarter cake to celebrate her quarter of a century :) We had a marvelous time!

Girls' Night at Our House (7/07) Sheila and Andrea came over for girls' night at our house and we had a little bit of fun with the camera! It all started while I was making cabbage and Andrea commented, "Hey that looks like a hat..." It was downhill from there!
