Long ago I was a newlywed on the east coast. My navy husband was often out at sea. I was an extremely self reliant gal, but still found myself blessed to have a wonderful church family. No congregation I have been in since compares to my supportive and friendly Virginia Beach ward! I have been very fortunate that Mrs. H (now a grandma) and her husband have relocated to Albuquerque again, brought back their super sweet daughter, Miss M, AND that their daughter, Claire and family came to visit and chose me to be their photographer! I ♥ you guys!

This is my final post from the Vegas trip. I am sure this trip would have been completely different w/o this group of mostly testosterone! Having 3 sisters and only one brother 10 years younger than me, has made me keenly aware of the differences between families of mostly boys and mostly girls. Without this family, the trip would have been ONLY half the fun it was! Big hugs to my buddy Miss Rach, who hung out with me and her cousin Syd most of the time. I miss her!

If you read this blog from oldest to newest, this would be my 3rd vegas post of the night… I hadn’t intended doing 3 in one night… I thought I’d get one tonight, start work on another that would go up tomorrow, work on something else and eventually get to the other posts this week…and still there is one more after this one! I just couldnt help it! I’d look at the pictures, remember what a great time everyone was having and start editing more!

The thing I loved most about going to Vegas with this family is that I was so comfortable with their chemistry and hi-jinks that I often forgot I was just an outsider and not a part of their fun family. I really enjoyed getting to know these brothers better in real life (as opposed to the internet life I lead LOL)
