The Maid 'n Matron

Erica's House

Kiddos


This picture just cracks me up. Just like our attempt at a professional group photo with the kids, Morgan is unphased by the action and is sittin' pretty while the other kids looked stunned.

Erica's Bachelorette Party

Yeah Josh & Josh!


...just thought I'd include this pic from Ward's Wedding.

Trekking through the trees...


Erica is getting in some practice for her own lil' babe.

Chicken burritos, anyone?


Ok, clearly no one was ready for me to take this shot. Michelle is interested in her foot, Thomas has a full mouth, Sarah is adjusting her clevage, Melissa looks worn out, Grace is dealing with Oakley, and Erin just looks stoned. Sorry for not giving you notice, but I loved our group meals! Good idea, Grace! -Kell

Pyromaniac?


From starting fire in Carrie Urton's driveway to starting them on the banks in Yosemite....

Kahil Gabran ,On Friendship, Love and Marriage

Selected Passages from Kahil Gabran’s The Prophet
For Erica and Josh’s Wedding

And one said, “Speak to us on Friendship”,
Your friend is your needs answered, for you come to him with your hunger and you seek him for peace.
When you part from your friend- you grieve not, for that which you love most in him maybe clearer in his absence- as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship- save the deepening of the Spirit.
And in the sweetness of friendship-let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of the little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

And one said, “Speak to us of Love”,
When love beckons you- follow him.
And when he speaks to you believe in me.
For love is sufficient unto love.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To wake at dawn and give thanks for another day of loving.
To rest at noon hour and meditate loves ecstasy.
To return home in the evening with gratitude and then to sleep with a prayer in your heart and a word of praise on your lips.

And one said, “Speak to us of Marriage”,
Let the winds dance between you.
Let it be a moving sea between the shores of your soul.
Sing and dance together and be joyous- but let each one of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a mandolin are alone they quiver with the same music.
And stand together, yet not to near together.
The oak tree and the cypress tree grow no tin each other shadow.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness.
And together you shall be forever more.

Love the girls!


If only Erica & Steph could have been along with us for this photo. Thomas was such a good companion/photographer. He was so patient and attempted to get thebest photo every time, even if it was the 500th picture he had taken that day. Thanks Thomas! - Meliss

Thanks Shawn!

Thomas got to actually be in this photo since we found the photographer and put him back to work a day after the wedding! - Meliss

Pica?

What was that thing called, a pica? chinchilla? It looks like a rock, but I think it is one of those things? Anyone remember? Meliss

Melissa's pictures

Hello ladies,

Although I still want to post a few specific pictures, I wanted to also send a link so you could view all of my photos if you would like. You should be able to just click on the following link and then click on the "slideshow" box and view. I don't think you need to set up an account unless you want to purchase some of the photos.

I hope everyone is doing well and Erica is having a fabulous time in Hawaii. I still miss Yosemite, but think I have finally gotten back to normal. I was sleepy and crabby for about a week.

Erin, I still want a copy of the close up bear pictures you had.

I love you all so much,
Meliss

Beautiful!


...the girls and the scenery!
