Christon and Christine

I took so many photos of my brother and his girlfriend that they get their own blog post!





Christine buried Christon's feet while he stood still a bit too long

Hawai'i Trip

Hawai'i photos! I traveled to Honolulu two months ago for a chorus competition (which we won!), and my parents, brother, and brother's girlfriend came along to see us and check out the island. It was beautiful there! I didn't have a whole lot of time to explore the island between our rehearsals and performances, but here is a sampling of what I saw.

There were many animals on the property of my hotel








A friendly visitor on our balcony




I went to Pearl Harbor, and this was from the USS Arizona Memorial




Interesting patterns from the oil from the Arizona

A little photo face-off is quite common with dad and I

Honolulu Family Portrait

I briefly blogged about my trip to Hawaii in November, and more will come soon! While there I had the great pleasure of shooting my friend Allison's family portrait. Allison and I sing in chorus together and I was very excited to be able to hang out with her super-fabulous family.

we had fun playing on these rocks for a while




the whole gang: Ralph, Violet, Allison, and Max


Aww...












There was no way we'd be staying dry during this shoot














And for more family fun, be sure and check out the slideshow below.

Aloha!!

Greetings from Hawai'i! I'm loving this warm weather (although it was warm when I left Chicago too!), and the scenery is beautiful. I'll have lots of photos to share, but here's one to hold everyone over.

Today I'm competing with my chorus at the Sweet Adelines International convention! If you're online today, watch us at 3:05pm Honolulu time (7:05 central):
