Coker Thanksgiving 2008

Last Saturday, we had the Coker side of the family over the house for a little Thanksgiving celebration. Also, little did Kennye and I know that the rest of the family had planned to have a sort of mini-shower for us as well. You guys are awesome.

Everyone showed up at the house at around 6:00pm. Jan and Bobby, who were probably putting the final touches on the turkey, were just a little late. Once everyone showed up, we dug in. Actually, I think the kids started a bit before the grownups… not sure how that happened.

The little table we have next to the kitchen was designated as the kid’s table. Allyson, Brayden, Madelyn, and Izzy all seemed happy to sit together and enjoy all the great food. The dining and living rooms were occupied by the adults. Although, it’s hard to say who sat where due to the carousel effect that Thanksgiving food tends to have.

Of course, I had my camera through all of this so I took several pictures. I tried not to let the “little ones” steal the show as they have an unfair advantage of being way too cute. So, I’ve managed to work in a picture or two of the grownups. I’ll be honest, the “grownups” didn’t make this whole process as easy as they could. It seems that, in reckless abandon, they decided to lift their shirts towards the end of the night. My apologies. Read more

Maternity Pictures by Bo Boswell

A few weeks ago, Kennye and I went to see my good buddy Bo Boswell to have some maternity pictures taken. We stopped by his office for some studio shots before heading over to Centennial Park for some outdoors shots.

I gotta say, I had no idea Bo had some much photography gear. We’re talking seamless paper drops, various high-end flashes, softboxes, remote triggers… the works. He even brought a remotely triggered flash and umbrella out to the park. It’s pretty obvious Bo is working towards being a full time professional photographer and man, does he have a good start!

Hannah’s Ultrasound - Week 31

Kennye went in for another ultrasound last Thursday. I put “31 weeks” in the title, but I guess you could say that she was 32 weeks since each Friday begins the next week for us.

After the doctor saw what he was looking for, the ultrasound tech showed us around again. We got another nice profile shot of her face and one where she looks like she is sucking her thumb. Also, right before we were done, the tech showed her face again just in time for us to see her yawn. Amazing. Read more
