What a lovely way to start the day. First, breakfast at Nifty-Fifties, then on to Savanna's favorite little playground.
The weather couldn't have been better and the smiles and fun were non-stop, as you will see.

(Sept, 1, 2007)
I recently came across these images taken several months ago. Really drives home the rapid changes.

It was like any other day to Savanna, until the singing started that is.

Check out the action when Brian with an "I", and Bryan with a "Y", team up with Mike for an exciting simultaneous three-way birthday dance. Phew!

If you've never visited 2 street for the parade after the parade, you've been missing out. It was an extremely cold night, but the warm spirits of the revelers prevailed and I had a blast capturing their images. My thanks to each and every one of them for affording me the opportunity for capturing some unique insights and memorable moments. I'm already looking forward to next year.

As usual, if a name is missing or in error, please inform me by leaving a message in my Guest Book or shoot me an email, and I will make the necessary corrections.
To Keith and Celeste, we send our prayers and support and wish you a quick and complete recovery from this disaster.

I missed the first three hours of the show running around town getting my glasses repaired, but I did manage to shoot the Air Force Thunderbirds.

Sorry for the delay gang. Ever since this bombastic event I have been taking much needed time off at the Jersey shore. I hope the wait was worth it and that you enjoy the photos. Many thanks again to our hostess Nancy, and all the hardworking friends who volunteered their time and talents to insure another successful gathering. I think it's safe to say we all look forward to doing it again next year.
ps. In some cases, I do not know or have forgotten some of your names. If a name is missing, misspelled, or incorrect and you can provide the correct details, please inform me either by email or by leaving a comment with the photo in question. I will do my best to make the needed correction as soon as possible. Thank you, Enjoy!
