While my mother, Lily and I were staying in Montauk we had the good luck to meet up with an extremely fun and friendly family. Over the next three days this family and their four gorgeous children practically adopted us into their family. They invited us along to their campfires on the beach, took us along to play mini golf, included our beach chairs in their ‘inner circle’ on the beach and most importantly- played with Lily!
Here are just a few photos to say thank you to them for their generosity and friendliness- the best thing is that we have all booked the same week again in Montauk next year so we’ll get to do it all over.
Toasting marshmellows on the beach, mmmmmmmm.


On our last night there we let off some chinese lanterns on the beach, so beautiful!


Their two beautiful daughters, can’t wait to see them next year…

Lily with her new friends.
The whole gang.

See you next year!

…who spent a bit more time playing than assisting but since she’s only five I ‘ll let it go. This time.

I’m still on holidays but managed to squeeze in a little work at the same time. Only, it wasn’t really work. I spent the day with the infamous (well at least in Bayport) McQuade clan who have been very special friends to my mother and I for many years. Due to a pretty lucky coincedence all bar one family member are visiting at the same time I am- the opportunity to get a family photo was too good to pass up so out came the camera.
Here they are Grandma Lou and Grandpa Jack:

and their gorgeous grandchildren:






and the whole clan (except one- we missed you Pat!)

Just a quick note to let you know that I have fled the rain and am currently on holiday visiting my family in New York.
I have sporadic access to email/internet so will try to get back to as many emails as possible but I was only able to log on today for the first time so I have a good few to get through.
I will return on the 28th refreshed and ready for action!
Here is a quick little shot of Lily at the beach (taken with the camera Santa gave her last Christmas).

Just wanted to post an example (or four!) of different designs for thank you card photos. Included in my package for all 2008 couples are 50 6×4 photographs to be included in your own thank you cards. Here is an example of one couple’s choice of photo and four different variations. You can have the photos with or without the names/date on the front. So, without further delay here are the lovely Fiona & John Paul:
