Tale of a Photo Shoot





Back to the photos, not only were we given some beautiful portraits, but we had a blast taking them! Aaron was especially hilarious as he went out of his way to get the attention of the babies who when crammed in one spot with 15 other people would rather pull hair, swing their legs, and drool. Thank you, Brenda and Aaron, for coming to IN, and thanks, Mom Castle, for paying all the fees and a "down payment" on our portraits. It is even more fun to choose photos when your MIL has partially paid for them. :-)
Enjoy the photos.

My moment to shine. . .
Troy and Martha Castle of Greer attended the AFP event with their three children, hoping for a balloon ride, but mostly absorbing the message. The Castles described themselves as conservative in their political beliefs. They're for less government control and less government spending.
"An organization like this gives this side of the issue a voice in Washington," Troy Castle said.
"An organization like this gives this side of the issue a voice in Washington," Troy Castle said.
I was rather disappointed that my, "If Al Gore is for it, I am against it" quote did not make it in Spartanburg ink! Oh, well. . . I guess I should be happy that Troy's good quote made newspaper history.
For all the Cincinnatians that read my blog, the tour is headed to Eden Park this weekend. It is a great event to attend, and you can discover more info and register at this site.

Tale of a Trip
The Castle Mobile hit the road around 11:30 on Wednesday (May 21st) and headed North of the Mason Dixon. (Ahhh. . .I'm feelin' my roots! :-)
Saturday evening, we headed to Shelbyville where we stayed with David and Jamie Spivey.
We hit the road again on Thursday (May 29th) and connected with our great friends - the Manleys! Sigh. . .We miss them so much! I love this picture of Camden. Isn't he the cutest?!
The process of cramming everything back into the van again fell my duty on Friday (May30th). We said our goodbyes, and headed South with two sad boys who thought it would be a great idea to live on the same street as their cousins. :-)
Sarah, Marcia, and Lanee, I am so sorry it did not work out for us to be together! I had every intention of making it happen. . . You know how it can be on trips though! Some mornings I had to stay put to let the baby sleep.
Minus some annoying construction, and Troy and I almost falling asleep at the wheel, we made it home without any hitches.
"And does it ever feel good!"
