What I Wore Wednesday/Labor Day Weekend

First off, I have been a terrible blogger lately.  I have been so busy with school!  I’m taking my first online college course this semester and it’s been taking up a lot of my “computer time” in the afternoon.  I am finally getting into the swing of school again and have organized my day a little better, so hopefully, I will have more time to blog in the near future.

What did ya’ll do this Labor Day weekend?  We had a very busy weekend with family (celebrating September birthdays), and we went to a kick-off party (for our Word of Life group) at our church on Sunday night.

I also had the wonderful opportunity to have a little photoshoot with my gorgeous cousin, Caroline.   We went downtown and took pictures while she was in town on Saturday afternoon.  We had a blast and have both decided that the next time she comes, we’re going to try to go back down there and do another one together.  We didn’t have a whole lot of time that afternoon, but here are a few of our favorites...    IMG_0192These pictures were taken by either Caroline, Andrew, or yours truly… Just so you know. ;)IMG_0196

                IMG_0202 IMG_0207       See?  I told you she is gorgeous!  I’m telling you, she is awesome.  I wish you all could meet her one day.  I’m just so happy she apart of our family! IMG_0216No photoshoot is complete without a few outtakes and awkward pictures, right?  Yeah, this is one of those pictures.  Haha.  Don’t ask me what we were looking at, okay?  Because all I know is that it must have been very interesting.IMG_0222My Outfit Specs

Funny story… these pictures below were taken beside one of the main roads downtown.  Needless to say, we had our share of “awkward moments” as people were slowly driving by and peering out their car windows as they watched us take pictures.  I was beginning to think that taking pictures had become a crime or something in the time that it took me to get downtown!  Haha!  We even had one person drive by, beep at us, and wave!  It was so weird… ;) 

IMG_0250                       Despite the weird looks and awkward moments, we had a wonderful time snapping away with our cameras.   IMG_0256   IMG_0259  IMG_0261

On a side note: Here are a couple of pictures from Saturday evening when we were celebrating Andrew and my grandma’s birthdays.

           IMG_0294  IMG_0295 IMG_0303I still can’t believe that Andrew is going to be 14 years old on Saturday.  It doesn’t feel right. =)IMG_0306P.S. Look for a fun “just because” giveaway soon!  Have a lovely rest of the week!

    Are you involved with Word of Life?? I was just wondering, because we went with one of their leaders on a mission trip this summer.

  11. these are scrumptious photos Emily. and you're always smiling in every one of them, which inevitably makes me smile. (: (they say smiling is contagious). as for the new profile photo (hint: red sweater), you look very clever and sweet.
