Weekend photos set 1.










September on our minds...

Wow, September, eh? Well, that's just ducky with me - bring on the cooler weather! Autumn is my favorite season anyway so I'm pretty stoked. I guess that means we have an anniversary coming up! That's just nuts. September 29th will be our FOUR YEAR wedding anniversary?? That means Big Dog turns 5 this month too. Woof.
Speaking of flying time, I got to spend the weekend with my nieces, Hannah and McKenzie. McKenzie wanted me to take some photos of her for her senior portrait so we went galavanting about town shooting away. Saturday morning Paul and Hannah participated in the Annual Knoxville Marine Corp Mud Run so I took some photos there too. This was Hannah's first time and she did really well! It was a 5k with mud pits, hills, and some obstacles thrown in. Everyone looked to have a good time, though I was dissappointed at the lack of media coverage. A lot of people were asking if I was covering it since I was the only clean person running around with a camera... Maybe next year I'll get some folks together and go shoot the event ourselves... Or maybe I should just create my own event coverage company like Bird's Eye View. Hmmm...
I'll post some photos later on.

After the event we all got cleaned up and ran around town taking shots of Max (McKenzie). We dropped Hannah off at a friend of hers for a sleep over then headed to Buffalo Wild Wings at Turkey Creek for some football and a late lunch. Finished up the evening with some sunset pics and a cheesey sci-fi movie at the house.

Sunday was group shots after catching Hannah in her martial arts gloves and pink muay thai hand wraps, then off to visit with my parents for a bit. Dad got back to TN on Saturday after being stationed in NC to help out with some of the flooding and wind damage in Eastern NC towns. We had lunch and got to catch up a bit, which is always good.

So basically everyone is doing well, we're all healthy and doing our own things... Work is crazy busy as some project work is coming together plus all the effort in the merger with Progress Energy. Stace is working a full schedule at the Urb and squeezing in a trip to MO this week on top of a few small projects we have going on a la casa...

Not sure yet as to what our anniversary/holiday plans are yet, but we're working on them and will have them hammered out soon enough.

Hope everyone is doing wonderfully!
