What a wonderful and elegant wedding this was. Both the bride and the groom were so easy to work with. The wedding had an antique French theme which resonated in every aspect of the wedding the entire day. Even the table numbers were in French!

The day was long but full of loving people. We started at the Georgian Terrace where Elizabeth was preparing for her day.

Shortly afterwards, everyone headed to The Biltmore Ballrooms for a French five-course luncheon.

After a few hours of rest, the reception began back at where we all started, the Georgian Terrace.

It was about 25 degrees outside this morning as I arrived to meet Sara. At 8:30am on a Saturday, she was already perky. I’m not quite sure how old she is, but she was a treat to work with, always ready with a smile and followed any instructions. I couldn’t have asked for a better model. Here are just some quick picks from the session this morning. (*** click here *** to see all the pictures of the session)

Apparantly golf is really growing within the family. It’s almost to an addiction. So when someone hears about family reunion, it’s time to plan for a golf match. Of course, it’s also a good time for the boys to come out and drive the golf carts for the men. However, Noah will have nothing about driving a cart, he’s more interested in driving the golf ball 100 yards.

Austin doesn’t really drive a ball that long, but at least he did dual duty and drove one of the carts.

While waiting for the ladies to dress for the upcoming baptism, the kids were ready. So, why not take some quick snapshots. Here are some shots before we headed off to Alexis’ baptism.

During the down time in Orlando, we headed out to Sky Adventures. This is where you get in a wind tunnel and the air pushes on you so that you float like you’re free falling. The kids wanted to do this, so obviously some of us adult had to hitch in the fun.

Here they are learning the proper position. I won’t post the pathetic position Don had :).

Now, they gear up. Everyone had ear plugs, goggles, helmets, and a jump suit. The kids look so cool in jump suits.

The entire gang!

And here is Amber’s first attempt. They pretty much let everyone get their bearings in the first attempt.

And Holly…

And this is Austin in his 2nd attempt. At the end of the 2nd attempt, they ride tandem with you and they spin you at high speeds up and down the wind tunnel. Everyone loved it.

Got some time today to swing by Austin’s class for the class Thanksgiving celebration. This is the first time I actually saw his classmates, other than a few at the bus stop. These kids have grown like weeds!

Here are some of the boys:

It’s fall in Atlanta and that means fall colors. Growing up in Orlando, we’re only used to two seasons, Summer and Summer. Fortunately, we get all four seasons in Atlanta, and Fall has to be the most colorful. It’s already November so the peak colors have past. So, we ran to a friend’s house where the trees were still knockouts.

Here are a few of the kids.

The kids and Grandma. The leaves are falling!! No, it’s just them throwing leaves in the air.

These two crack me up. Look at Amber playing to the camera!

My daughter’s team played these Ninja’s this past Saturday. These boys and girls were strong! They basically scored at will until we had to bring in our super secret weapon to slow them down. To show you how well trained they are, during quarter breaks, they didn’t even take a breather. They were on the field practicing and staying warm and pumped. What a team!!
