so here we have it. the second edition of my "year in photos" project. i realized as i uploaded pictures that there were two months (april and may) where i was too selfish to let others touch my camera to take photos. so i supplemented with other favorite photos and memories. enjoy!

in
may our friends, neil and rachel, invited us to join their lovely family on a trip to camden yards to see the orioles take on the nationals. it was so much fun! and the kids are adorable. i love this picture of neil teaching henry (and i guess kind of margaret....) how to keep score.

kristen, get married. and rachel and whitney, my lovely friends who
were discipled along with me were there, too! it was a most glorious
event.

july in india. could it be any better than letting kids play with your camera? i, personally, don't think so (see september as well).
 |
august

weddings are a wonderful time to be with friends. see: liz and kris'
august wedding. good times were had by all.
 |
september

my family came up in
october and we spent the weekend walking around pretty places, eating german food and watching the planes land at gravelley point.
 |
november
photo credit: jordan |
november thanksgiving again, which was a good enough memory to include in both rounds. and the only time i actually let someone else touch my camera. i like this picture cause you can see little ted.
 |
december
photo credit: tamara |
during the months of november and
december we had two clients die. it was a really rough month, that ended with a beautiful series of memorial services. during the service for tim, tamara captured this photo. i think it says so much.
