Oh dear!

So, I was all excited about posting again and (this is TRUE) my motherboard died the very next day. Well, it was a slow death... with more and more screens of black and blue and less and less booting up correctly. Sigh. Anyway, my amazing brother came for Labor Day weekend and he and Andy fixed my computer all up! And now I have Windows 7 which is pretty suh-weet, fyi. So, here we go again!

When my brother was here I took some pictures of his little family at Balboa Park... please enjoy. :)

What a wonderful family I have...

a very good excuse.

Andy and me

Since February, I've finished my college degree (hooray for a BA in Humanities!), planned a wedding, married the man of my dreams, and moved to Southern California from Virginia.

There. That's my excuse.

It is good, isn't it?

Anyway, I'm back. Hi! Have a great night, and I'll be posting more latuh.

Love, Abigail

My beautiful niece Briana Joy... :)

of marshmallows and punk bands

Oh look. It's me and my fearless Charis sister. We're in black and white because it's the coolest. Okay, okay, so maybe it's because the white balance was on cloudy and the kitchen wasn't cloudy that day. Anyway! We were having fun since we were FINALLY able to get our schedules synced to let us make little marshmallow men. (Back when I was a young'un of 6, I didn't have a schedule except do school, climb trees, eat cookies and go to bed.)

Here are the things. Ta-Da!! The more we looked at them the more we thought they looked like a punk boys band, and since they all have three little pretzel legs we named them the Tripods. Isn't that SO COOL?! They're coming to a kitchen near you.

Once more, my sweet sister who must've had something in her mouth or else she'd be showing off her amazing toothless grin.

I love you, Charis!

Fall in Virginia!

I love photographing life as it happens and I think the best practice for that comes with my own family. Here we were, raking leaves (and MY, we had the leaves this year...) and everyone was so cute and the light was so pretty that I just *had* to take some pictures. Yep. :)

Why hello there, cutie patootie!

Mom plays with her two littlest kids... Annie and Nathaniel.

My, Annika - that leaf on your head is making such an amazing fashion statement!


I have the cutest siblings.

Life is beautiful.

Sometimes I feel like a poet.

Like... when I take a picture and it says everything I want to be said, and gives me this funny happy feeling way deep down inside.

beauty!

Wow, I just LOVE this picture from Caleb and Lauren's wedding!! I think it sums up the simplicity and beauty of their day. Sigh. I like it when me and my camera come up with things like this.
