The Many Faces of Cooper

So I decided to google the meaning of the name "Cooper".  I was hoping for something fun like  prince of laughter, or beloved child, or straight and narrow. Instead I got, Barrel Maker. Seriously?? So, I googled it again, and then again, and one more time to be sure. Yep, Cooper is a Barrel Maker. So then, I decided to google "Barrel Maker".   Lo and behold, up comes the name Cooper.  I can't win with this one. It reads: "Today, the profession of the cooper is synonymous with the wine and spirits industry where the cooper assembles casks and operates machinery that builds barrels." Well, I guess that's kind of fun right?  The builder of wine and spirits barrels? 
Regardless of what his name means, I'm positive Cooper is going to be a devoted son that dotes on his mom, and plays without boundaries. His energy is contagious and his smile mischievous.  Enjoy!

Three strikes and you're........A CANE???

A quote from Harry Carray.... "It might be, it could be...it is! A home run!"
And that is exactly what yesterday's wedding was...a home run! Such a fun wedding to photograph.

I truly felt like part of the family. Here are a few of my favourite pictures that I saw while uploading them last night.  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Cane.

                                                                                                      Seriously, how amazing are her boots?

                                                                                                         Oh, what a simple window can do...

                                                                                                       Um, okay, look how beautiful she is...

                           A quick peek at the ceremony, waiting for the bride to make her grand slam entrance.

                                                                                                                                    Cool car, cool chick.

                                                           

 

                                                        One of the many reasons why it is super cool to live in Cobourg.

Quemby Family

I had the pleasure of hooking up with the Quemby family yesterday down at the Nuwatain Conservation Park. There were snapping turtles, snakes, and loads of hissing geese. We were surrounded by God's beauty and not so beauty (holy moly geese poo!) Thank you Quemby kids, you were true troopers, and it was a pleasure taking your pictures. I'm so happy you finally have a family picture after all these years.

The Glow

Sarah has the glow. Not just any glow, THE glow.  You can just look at her and feel the radiance seeping off of her. I envy love her hair,  her complexion, and her smile. I am lucky to call her my sister-in-law. I cannot wait for the day I get to hold my your little bundle of joy.  More pics later......

The hunt

I am an addict. Yes, I admit it, I am a yard sale junkie. I, like many other of you closet yard salers, can't resist a good garage sale.  There's something about going through someone else's stuff. Or maybe it's the hunt, the hunt for a bargain. That's probably the case for me, I have serious issues buying anything at full price. BUT!! I find good stuff!! My mother and my sister-in-law, and possibly Jen would totally disagree with me and think I'm a total dolt, but hey, it's not for everyone.  BUT, it is for me.

Just look at those crackles!!

Who wouldn't want to go sledding in the 50's. Just look at this beauty!

Look!! At those tracks!  I would surely die if I had to go down a hill on that skinny thing!

$2.00.  Yep, that's all I paid for this beauty.  That is not a typo. $2.00. 

Thought this was super neato. It has the stickers still on it from the places it's been. 

Pretty worn, but it is from 1959.

Who doesn't love little medicine bottles?

 Not as cool as I had hoped, but still a cool weigh scale.

Mr. and Mrs. Laurie

 I loved the way they lit up every time they looked at each other.  I could see them glancing at one another when they were apart after the ceremony and it made me smile.
Sara and Patrick, you were made for one another.  I truly hope that happiness follows you all the rest of the days of your lives.... ( I can hear a soap opera in my head as I type ) Thank you so much for letting me share in your special day, it was my pleasure.
