Want to see a few more Los???

I love this photo of Tayler taken at Pam & Mike's wedding... so of course I had to scrap it!
Journaling says: "Tayler -- I love this photo of you in your new Daddy's arms. You look so content, so secure. So serene.

Shane getting his tattoo. When our son Shane told us he wanted a tattoo as a graduation present, I was not too happy. Yes, all his friends had them, but this is my baby we're talking about!!! And a tattoo is forever!!!
A few years earlier I had admired tattoo work on two different people and both had them done by the same tattoo artist, so I told him that if he got one, I had to choose who did it and suggested that guy, Larry Davis. Shane agreed and spent months looking for just the right lion. Finally he found this photo of a young male lion and knew that it was "the one". After calling about eight tattoo parlors, I finally found Larry. We met with him and looked at his portfolio and knew he was the perfect artist for the job. His tattoos looked like pencil sketches and he specialized in portraits. Larry told Shane that he had to wait until he was 18, so Shane got it two weeks after graduation, on his 18th birthday. Four hours -- and $300 -- later, I did have to admit that it was beautiful work.

Grandma Morrisey with my Dad, Phil, and his baby brother ,Robert.
I had borrowed my Grandmother's photo albums last year to make some copies for a Digital Scrapbook I was making for her 90th birthday. I totally fell in love with the pictures of my Dad as a child. He died when he was only 25 years old, so for my Grandmother, most of her memories of him were as child. And since I was only 5 when he died, and I was the oldest of his four children (the youngest still not born yet), I really have only small snippets of memories of him. This photo really appealed to me because of the beautiful light coming in the window.

My son Gage's 2007 JV Football team.

The lovely Bridesmaids at my older daughter Pam's September 2006 wedding.
My youngest, Lynnea, Pam, Nikki and Kiya.
I loved how the flowers in this LO perfectly matched the pink roses in the girls' bouquets.
I had gone a bit crazy getting the perfect color roses for the wedding! I went into NYC twice for sample roses, then the day before the wedding I went into the city to pick them up from a wholesale florist and delivered them to the florist who was making the bouquets -- even though the price for the bouquets included the flowers! The florist couldn't get that particular rose, but I could.

My son Shane at his Graduation in June 2005. I loved the shot I took of the mortarboards flying in the air so I put them around the title. I was dying to use Birgit's frames. And isn't that tassel from Lemonaid Lucy really fun -- the 2005 charm hanging froom it is from Kim Higueria's Graduation keychains -- both were freebies.

Wow, so great to read everything! Your daughter's wedding looked gorgeous and Shane's tattoo is impressive. What a huge lion he got! Great work though by the artist.
