Pictures by Everlasting Images Photography

Sabrina makes a face.
Abby and her anchor "tattoo" - God was sending us a tool to tell them apart. The doctor says it will disappear in a couple of years.

Now that you know the secret - can you guess who this is?
Nancy Dudley of Everlasting Images Photography took these pictures (and many more). She spent the better part of three hours helping us get some memories on film (actually digital pics).

Nancy was very patient and flexible as our girls squirmed, cried, peed and generally expressed their impatience. When we returned to view the photos, a very mature young boy (about 2 years old) hugged Nancy's husband Mark in a goodbye show of affection. I think the gesture speaks volumes of their ability to connect with kids and make the sitting very comfortable and natural.
You can contact Nancy at (719) 210-2053 or on the web at http://www.everlastingimagesphotography.com. They do weddings, pets, senior portraits and of course KIDS!

BABY PHOTO SHOOTS
Over the last couple of weeks Cheryl has arranged for two separate photo shoots for the twins. First with Jamie Rich Photography. This was a silent auction purchase at the wine tasting in early November for the liveBIG Fund. Jamie has a studio in her basement and wonderful props especially for babies.
For the most part, the babies were in the buff to get those cute shots that are all the rage. Usually I am the one that calms down the babies when they get upset (Daddy's touch?). In this case, they were tired and cold so they needed a lot of consoling. In return for my efforts, they peed all over me for nearly 2 hours! It dried fairly quickly but Cheryl was shocked when I took her to lunch before going home to change. She was even more shocked when I went to the Boy Scout meeting that night with the same pants on!

The attached picture was taken by some friends of Jerry in Colorado Springs - Mark and Nancy Dudley of Everlasting Images Photography. They are just starting their venture into baby photo shoots and wanted some test subjects. The sets were crazy cool and the afternoon was enjoyable for everyone - pretty great pics too! By coincidence, the studio is LJM Photography, the same place Cheryl had pics done of her and Chris a dozen years ago.

Town Council 2009
For the last month I have been working diligently to get the word out that I am a candidate for Town Council in Castle Rock. Jeff prompted the idea a year ago and convinced me that I could make a difference. After some arm twisting and his commitment to raise money for the campaign, I agreed.
The Home Builders Association of Metro Denver and the Douglas-Elbert Realtors Association both endorsed and sponsored my bid for office. Several businesses and private citizens also contributed some cash. In addition, many of my friends and neighbors helped to distribute flyers around District 3 on my behalf. To all I am grateful!
Although my bid was unsuccesful, I have learned from the experience and look forward to supporting the Town in other roles.
