Dan, at Work I needed a shot of Dan for the Friends Page; this was my first attempt in a while. |
Excited Tim Hooray! We're gonna have a party! |
Prepared Food Well, the first round anyway. |
Pregnant Chair "Pregnant Women (and owners) Only" |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Raché and the Pregnant Chair She was the intended audience of the chair... |
Best Picture Of Bill, Ever Really. I mean, he's smiling! |
Most Typical Picture Of Bill This is more what he generally looks like. |
Raché Still preparing food. It's hard to get her to settle down sometimes. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Beth She doesn't want to strangle me! Well, not much. |
Darren Still preparing for the coming onslaught. |
Dan The first shot was still better. |
Brijeet and DB This is me bein shocked that I can take a good shot with as much glare back there as there was! |
|
|
|

|
Jacen The birthday boy. |
Birthday Kids Jacen and Raché were both celebrating birthdays today. |
Starting the Barbecue Darren wanted to get some shots of it... |
Starting the Barbecue, II ...but it's not that exciting until the fire is raging. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Starting the Barbecue, III Even the lighting's not that great... |
Cake Brijeet made the cake for Rache&eacte;, primarily because Racheé was threatening to do it. |
Jim With beer and fruit! Also note Darren's new sign on the bathroom. |
Danielle and Jacen With Bill in the background. I will not enumerate the possible symbolic value of this shot. |
|
|
|
|

|
Bill and Jenny Jenny, as always, hates pictures. Bill is amused by this for once. |
Beer Tasting Dan, Brijeet, Raché, and DB sit around being beer snobs. (No, Raché wasn't really drinking, she's a responsible seven months pregnant...) |
Vered and Stuart Stuart's always good at looking at the camera, isn't he? |
Angela Happy as always to be having her picture taken. |
|
|
|

|
Damien It's amazing how we always have parties when he comes to town. *grin* |
Party in the Garage Where else would you hang out? (DB, Brijeet, Dan, Rach&eacte;) |
DB in a Tree Expecting fathers should always risk their lives by climbing trees, yes? |
BBQ Watching At least people are hanging around with Darren this time, unlike our last BBQ party. (Brijeet, Jim, Darren, Sarah) |
|

Danny and Celeste Danny brought a girl along; still all anybody could talk about was how he look shaved. |
Danny and Celeste, II Can you tell she's also not that fond of cameras? |
Pitch Black Experiment It's supposedly cool if you pour it in a glass. (That's Danny holding it.) |
Pitch Black Experiment, II Looks purple to me. (It was blue-ish for a second there, on top anyway...) |
|
|

|
Giant Moth None of the shots with a size-comparison hand turned out; still, it was a big moth, probably the size of my outstreched hand. |
Tim and Rebecca They really do look alike, don't they? |
Karen The first good picture I've gotten of her since 1997. |
Boiling Brats My first time doing it. I guess I did okay. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Chuck With Krispy Kremes! Why does Bloomington get them? |
James I'm shocked that I have a good picture of him anywhere. |
Tunji No, he never does look at the camera. |
Gathered Folks Or at least the living room side. (Stuart, Angela, Raché, DB, Dan, Karen, Bill) |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
More Gathered Folks Danielle, Jenny, Tunji, and Damien. Plus a lot of empty chairs. |
Rum Balls Jenny really did need to show these things off. It's her nature. |
Chuck with Food Here's where it's obvious that I don't know how to use a flash yet, but that it can offer interesting effects. |
Dan and Karen Oh, she's cheerful that I'm taking pictures! Oh yeah! |
|
|

Outside Gatherers Darren, Jeannie, Beth, Celeste, Danielle, Jacen's leg. |
Dave Watanabe The only guy I know that cares more than me about LEGO. |
Dave and Darren It's probably a better shot of Dave, but I won't comment on Darren's facial expression... |
Duck! (and Guest) He said hew as showing up, but nobody believed him. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Photographing the Wild Duck And the Jenny, really. |
Dark Grilling Yes, the party went well past dark. (Darren, Jim, Jacen, Danielle, Jenny, Tunji) |
Beth and Anna Beth's new random friend only arrived after being picked up by Danny and Beth; she had gone to the wrong County Market. It was cute. |
Presenting...the Cake! I don't remember if there were 28 candles, but I imagine that's correct...and counting would probably tell us. |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Blowing out the Candles I believe my line was "don't wish for anything *too* important!" |
Happy Birthday! Cheering the birthday girl. (Sarah, Mel, Ray, Celeste, Danny, Karen) |
Mel and Ray That's a shockingly good expression on Ray's face. Especially compared to his wife. |
James and (Bad) Jeannie One looks away... |
|
|
|
|
||||
|
(Bad) James and Jeannie ...and the other makes faces. An interesting pair. |
Tim and Jeannie Picture taken by Beth, probably; certainly, whoever took it didn't know how to operate the flash. |
DB and Transformer It's always nice to bring people back to their childhood. |
Bryan Arrives On time as always! (Bryan and Vered) |
|
|

Lounging Jenny Luckily the Pregnant Chair had been moved... (Jenny, Duck) |
Pregnant Mel(?) ...to here? (No, the sign had been moved, and Me's feelings on this matter are fairly apparent.) |
Happy Raché A good birthday party is always worth the trouble... |
Winding Down The party continued for about an hour after this, but the numbers were certainly dwindling. (Jenny, Duck, Ray, Mel, Darren, Beth, Dave) |
