We decided to go to dinner at a great wine bar downtown called Purple.
Thanks to Rhiannon for taking the photo of us above! We love it :)
After dinner we had to do some window shopping downtown... Rhiannon still needs shoes for the wedding... maybe Luly Yang? :)
Erik has always watched Maddie play fetch in our yard, now he's learning to throw the ball to her himself. I love the look on his face below right before he threw the ball, so cute!
Kirk, Darcy's dad, brought his baby book with him to share with his mom, daughters and grandchildren. No one had seen the book in years as it had just turned up recently, it included a bunch of old photos and even a snip of Kirk's baby hair! It was absolutely wonderful to witness them look through the book together...
Meanwhile the little ones, Owen and Hazel, hung out together... it was so sweet to see their interaction!
Below, Kirk read out loud "A Mother's Blessing to Her Child", which his mom had written to him when he was only 5 yrs old. It included that he must never forget the "golden rule" among other great words of advice :).
I love the photo below, Hazel was intently checking out my camera while everyone else reminisced.
I was so thankful for the moment below, Grandma was alone looking at the photos and she stopped on this one in particular... her husband, Bear, with their boys.
It was so sweet to see Lindsay and her grandma's hands together below, I love that both of their wedding rings are showing.
I LOVE the photo below... Kirk was so happy to have his family around him, he just laughed as Hazel cried!
Owen loved his milk :), he was so cute!
Thank you to the Clothiers for a wonderful time! We love you guys!!!
We even saw past wedding clients of ours, Elizabeth and Chad (below)... Seattle felt like such a small city, and the process gave us a real sense of community.
My mom enjoyed chatting with a neighbor below.
The photo below is a view of the packed sanctuary; in the end people were packed into the rafters and out the door. Mike and Azzy, we wished you could have been here with us!
There were tons of cute kids, and lots of great debates going on all around us.
The little girl below was so adorable, she had studied her candidates and was proudly supporting Obama. She said many times she wished she was old enough to vote!
The two girls below were our favorite story of the day, they are sisters who are originally Canadian but recently became naturalized citizens in order to vote in this election (for Obama as well!) They were so passionate it was really cool to see. The girl in red was the first to stand up and give a speech to the huge crowd.
After a long day of caucusing Adam ended up a delegate, and I'm an alternate, yeah! We had to get a treat, so we went to our local Cupcake Royal to cast our "vote" one more time... yum.
In the spirit of our last post I thought it would be fun to put up some photos from a recent wedding where we set up a photo booth. It was the coolest thing... I totally recommend it for parties! It was super easy, we put an extra camera on a tripod with a flash and hooked up one of those remote cables so that you could sit in the "booth" and still take your photo. It was so much fun to see what we came up with...
I love the couple below... I watched them try several attempts at these shots until they got them "just right" (we didn't crop them at all)... so funny!
A groomsman could not make the wedding, so the bride and groom had a mannequin there with a photo of his face taped to it. The mannequin even had the same tux as the rest of the groomsmen and was in the ceremony! :) In the series below the girls brought him into the photo booth and had a great time, they said they wanted to send him the photos later to show him what he missed!
The kids below had so much fun with the photo booth, the little boy even acted as photographer/booth operator to the delight of all of the guests, until he passed out on a nearby couch! So cute.
The Bride and Groom were so great... I think they truly thought of everything, at the end of the night they even had fresh Dick's hamburgers and cheeseburgers delivered! (For those of you who aren't familiar with Seattle, "Dick's is the place where the cool hang out!" :))
