Braces for a birthday boy

We are getting ready for Ian to celebrate his 13th birthday.

To celebrate, we decided to get him braces.

Just kidding!  Not about the braces - take a look at the photo above compared to the first photo.  He has had his braces for about a week and a half.  He went with the clear ones on top and regular on the bottom.

Meanwhile, Christina has come for a quick visit, and while she has been here, the kids decided to dye their hair.

Hope all is well with everyone,

Marc

Catch Up

Last weekend Catherine, Ian, and I made the trip to Wilkes-Barre, PA to watch Leah sing with the other choristers attending the Royal School of Church Music camp at King's College.  Leah made quite a few new friends and had a great time.

We stayed a couple of blocks away from the church where the choir sang. The choristers ranged in age from 12-70+ years old, and they sounded great!

They made for a very special high mass in the morning, followed later in the day by a beautiful Evensong service.

We hadn't even had Leah packed up before she asked if she could come again next year, she really enjoys singing with the choir!

Just so we are all caught up, I got up early this morning to go scout some locations to photograph this fall. This is Difficult Run, a bit inside the Great Falls National Park, another bit upstream from the Potomac.  I had this place to myself, which was nice.

That is it for now.  Hope everyone has a great day!
