Women of Faith - Rochester, NY June 6 & 7, 2008

What an exciting, fun-filled, emotionally and spiritually uplifting weekend!! We laughed, we cried, we sang and we listened and learned. Here are just a few of the many pictures I took, I'll try to post a few more soon!

ANITA RENFROE - one of the funniest women I've ever heard!

NATALIE GRANT - a young girl with a POWERHOUSE voice!! Amazing!

From left to right, Marilyn Meberg, Sandi Patty, Patsy Clairmont, Sheila Walsh & Natalie Grant...yes, I was sitting that close to them (well, with a little zoom help!)

SANDI PATTY - another one of the world's most powerful female vocalists! I love her voice!

And of course, PATSY CLAIRMONT - one of the spunkiest "older" women, I've ever seen! She has more energy than most 18 yr. olds!

Everyone home for Memorial Day weekend!

We had kids home, grandkids home, lots of family and friends from away and it made for a very beautiful weekend. Tandy Kay got married on Saturday and the wedding turned out absolutely perfect! And then on Sunday we had a dedication service for little Emily Joy and some of David's family were able to join us for that, so it also was a memorable day! I was sad to see everyone head for home again, but will live on the memories and many beautiful photos until I get to see them all again!! Here are a few, of course, the cute babies FIRST!


Brandon James enjoying all the bright and pretty things on the table at the reception!

And this was Emily Joy's reaction to her first wedding! But she looked so pretty!

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Shaffer!!

And a group shot of the Powell clan after the baby's dedication!

And then on to OHIO to meet Emily Joy - who arrived on April 16th!

There's plenty more room in Grandma's heart - and LOTS of kisses too!!
"I'm home!"

And last but not least...all ready to go on my first outing with Mommy, Grandma and Great, Great Aunt Mern - we went to Target and STARBUCKS!!

A quick visit with Brandon James.....who gets cuter EVERY day!!

I love sitting on Daddy's lap, right up to the table where I can see EVERYTHING!!

And I met my GREAT-GREAT Aunt Marilyn - we had a nice visit!

A few more of my favorite pictures of Brandon!

He has the most beautiful eyes!!
Looking at one of his Baptism gifts - so cute!

And with his new "shades" for his upcoming trip to Florida!

What a lovely weekend with family & friends!!

He is just so kissable, Grandma can't get enough kisses!!! This was after the Baptism service and he was all comfy in his jammies!

At the church, with Mommy, Daddy and Grandma P.

And with the other Grandparents, Oma & Papa Volk!

And then an Easter Sunday pose, (this was before Brandon had a little "accident" in his outfit and we had to change into the alternate Sunday outfit before we went for dinner at Oma's house!)

My sweet little St. Patty's Day boy! 3 months old!

No time to write much, but just had to put up this picture of Brandon in his "wearing of the green" outfit. He's getting so big and cuter every day, I can't wait to see him this weekend!
