Aww Monday
The oldest granddaugher and first grandchild arrived in March1996. This image is from June 1997. She has always been the most social of the grandcrew. As a little one, she was a party going someplace to happen.
She has always loved being outside and was the first to fall in love with fishing. That fish on the end of her line is the one that got her hooked on the sport.
Katelyn grew up playing soccer. One year she decided she wanted to be a cheerleader for one of the little league football teams. While standing on the sidelines during one game, she turned and asked her mother, “Is is all we do?”. She had determined that she was on the wrong side of the white lines and if you weren’t in the game, well, you weren’t in the game! She got back into soccer and played until her junior year in high school. Her ankles began to give her trouble and surgery was going to be the only fix, so the family opted out of the sport.
The lake has always been a special place for this grandchild. She loves being on the water.
This is an image I captured for her senior photo shoot. It is one of my favorites.
Yes, she was one of the happiest brides I have ever seen.
And the story continues.
Monday’s Music Moves Me
A couple of weeks ago I featured the accapella group VoicePlay. Today I am going to feature another group in this vocal genre. Home Free is a great group with a great sound. Not only to they have a world class bass, they have a beat boxer that is unrivaled. Here we go.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

They grow up so fast. She is beautiful and looks very happy. I am not one for these types of groups but I like them much better than that famous group with mem and women. I had their name in my head but it went pffft. Love that animal video with them singing. What a sweet older dog that I would have taken in the heartbeat.

I believe you’re referring to Pentatonix. I like them, but I like Home Free and VoicePlay better.

Your oldest granddaughter is beautiful. And so are your pictures. Enjoyed the Home Free songs, especially the bass singer and the Phil Everly cover with the dogs. Looks like all those dogs are loved. It was so cute! Alana ramblinwitham

When they are little you think they will be there forever, and then, poof, they are all grown up. It’s great you have the photos for memories.

“Poof” is an accurate description of how quickly time passes when little ones are involved. I would encourage everyone to pick up a camera and record the family events.
