A bloggable weekend

Our weekend has inspired me to want to start blogging again. I miss posting updates. This weekend gave me some good material to work with.

It started with a baby shower for Giovana, thrown by some of the women in our ward. Way to go ladies! They showered Camila (and Giovana) with gifts, goodies, and made her feel special. We both appreciate all the hard work that went into it!

From Our notable Weekend







Then Saturday morning we were joined for breakfast by this little friend. I'm assuming she's an early arrival for our halloween party next weekend. Up close she's very scary. I broke out the camera and had some fun shooting her. She seemed to enjoy the attention.



These pictures are intense. You should click on them to see them in a larger resolution. Be sure to use the zoom feature (look for a magnifying glass) to see the details.






Here she's demostrating how eerie she can look crawling over the edge of something. We talked about giving her a feature role in our spook alley. But I'm concerned she'll get stepped on..




Click on any of these amazing pictures to be able to zoom. The clarity and detail are incredible. My camera does an amazing job with the macro setting.








Okay okay. So spider photo shoots is fortunately NOT the most exciting thing we do in a weekend. We sometimes go out (emphasis on 'sometimes'). This weekend we joined our good friend Kraig Hiersche for a night at the Dublin pub to listen to live music by the Sessions, with guests 'the Betties'. Two hot bands, I loved it. I haven't been out for live music in a loong time. These guys seriously rocked!




A great weekend.

Ok, eeewwwwww! Seriously. What on earth makes you think that anything in this world would cause me to WANT to zoom in to that spider. I think you don't know me very well. Totally creepy....and just a little bit cool, but only from a great distance from my computer screen.(and by great, I mean from across the room) Bring on Halloween!

Congratulations on all the cool stuff for your little one. Looks like you will have one fabulously spoiled little girl.

Hehe, that IS what halloween is all about right?

Very bummed that I could not be at the shower. All my best wishes though.

Killer spider...how big was it, exactly? And what kind?

Great photos all around, Dustin. Hope you're doing well. Looks like there's a ton of happiness going around...
