Arnold's "Double Duty" Wedding

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. James Rodney McDonald:

WOW!
September 20, 2008 was a busy busy day for Nina-Skye's Daddy, Arnold. Not only was he in James & Dee's wedding but he also assisted the photographer & his friend - who was also the Brother of the Groom - Phil of Phillip Lloyd Photography by being the "second shooter" for the wedding. Well, feast your eyes on these "Beautiful" shots Arnold took during his very busy busy day...can you say talented!!

Here he is in his Sunday Best, looking very very handsome!
James & Dee's wedding was at the Amazing Belmont Conference Center in

Show Us Your Pearly Whites

Nina-Skye in the BIG PEOPLE Chair at Dr. Jackson's Office for her Dental Check-Up! Dr. Jackson said,

"It's amazing that she can do and comprehend exactly what I ask of her at such a young age." Thanks Dr. Jackson!



"See Mommy it says right here...I have GOOD teeth! Now where is "Mr. Thirsty?"

{That is what Dr. Jackson call's her suction instrument for Nina-Skye.}


Say CHEESE...

looks like Nina-Skye and her buddy, Paul, 4 years old, {who is convinced that Nina-Skye is his Sister} need to not only get their teeth checked but their eyes as well...LOL!


Awwww... don't they just make your heart melt...Now we just came from getting our teeth clean...we don't need anything this SWEET!!!

The Cousin Cook-Out 2008

"Cutie Pie" Nina-Skye is excited that she will get to see a bunch of her cousins today!


Nina-Skye and Faith were the only "little ones" who made it this year, of course when we rented the BIGGER Dora The Explorer MoonBounce there were fewer kiddies here to enjoy it. Last year they could all barely fit in our little castle one...LOL...As you can see...it didn't go to waste! Even some ADULTS got in it...SOME even fell asleep...right Dante...LOL!

" Grandmom Boop-Boop" helping a "Pooped-Out" Nina-Skye with her sneakers. Look at those red cheeks...LOL!

Whew! What a tiring Day...but a LOT of FUN! Deniene had her 2nd Cousin Cook-Out on a beautiful day, which wasn't too hot! We had a great turn-out of Cousins from California, New York, DC, New Jersey and Philly! Here are Deniene, Cousin Billy, Cousin Dante and Cousin Tor chatting for a bit.
