August 2007 Party - 26-27 Aug 2007

Beth and I weren't able to throw any proper parties while we were in the last year of our wedding planning, simply because we couldn't afford it. Once that was done, we were able to finally clean up the house and have some people over.

I believe that all of these pictures were taken with my 50mm f/1.8 lens, which I decided needed to be played with more. The latter pictures are actually of the next couple of days.


Images
Jesse and Tulip
They were patiently waiting for the party to begin, little realizing that their role was to be exiled to the basement...
Tired Darren
Poor Darren, he has to come to parties.
Beth
She was expecting a typical party. Silly Beth!
Bill
Preparing by reading 100 Bullets. It seemed like the best way.
Ray
I don't think he was preparing at all. Just being there was enough to start with.
Tim and Tulip
I love showing off how I can hold her on her back.
Tim and Squished Tulip
She really doesn't mind it that much. So odd!
Beth, Again
She was okay with the pictures today, happily.
Pat
I don't think he knew I had the camera out yet.
Pat, Paying Attention
Yay, beer!
Resting Folk
Dan, Mel, and Hannah were enjoying the couch.
Dan and Bill
Bill seemed to enjoy his furious reading.
Adin and Christina
I'm actually becoming friends with them lately. Wow.
Tyler and Girl
I don't know her name.
Terra
Beth got her to come out without her kid.
Beth and Terra
I think that was good for both of 'em.
Jim and Carissa
Not quite their scene, but they were happy to show up for a while.
Dan
I was happy to see Dan out in public; it had been a while.
Helen and Chrispie
There for the board games? Perhaps, but they hadn't come out yet.
Tony
Once again, he came separately from Pat.
Game Cabinet
When we opened this up, the games started to flow in earnest.
Ticket to Ride
We had three separate board game rooms going, all of them happy and busy.
Anna
She didn't know too many people, but I was able to keep her entertained.
Eva
Nice a bad picture of her.
Raché and Lance
He looks a bit confused. Just a bit, though.
Drinking Lance
Posing behind the glass? He's drunk!
Weber Family
Fitting DB in makes it more familial.
Zeb
He was reading something, but I really don't know what.
Anna, Again
I hope she had a good time.
Matt
Rin's Husband. I'm glad Vered told me his name!
Rin and Matt
Awww...
Rin and Matt, II
It would have been better if I'd gotten a good kiss shot before the flash started working again. Oh well.
Flying Lance
Way up on the ceiling!
Eva
I don't know what she was worried about.
Wendy
She got there fairly late, but she did come.
Cards
Cards made life better for Beth, and made up for the number of board games being played.
Messy Pan
Umm... I wish I hadn't had to clean that.
Celeste Wii Bowling
She enjoyed it enough to want to get a Wii, so I guess it worked out okay.
Danny and Celeste Thumb War
Danny won.
Danny and Dover
I'm still impressed at the quality of his grade school friends.
Rob and Kris
What movie were we watching, anyway?
Wendy, Patsy and Tulip
Wendy brought over Patsy for movie night the next day.
Sneaky Tulip
Tulip's number-one goal was to get the dog treats that had been brought for Patsy.
Annoyed Tulip
Goal Number Two was to keep that dog away from her stuff - especially said dog treats.
Stare-Down
I always love watching my seven-pound cat stare down a seventy-pound dog.
Back to Important Goals
Everybody won in the end. Tulip beat up the dog; Patsy got some treats; and Wendy got a smaller dog later. Hooray for everybody!
