You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.” ~Henry David Thoreau

Dame Reunion 2011 photo

I'll have to add pictures bit by bit from our vacation. Maybe just my favorite 10 or something. For now....this is the whole Dame clan taken by my sister-in-law Shelli in the front with Mike and her twin girls. As you can imagine this was not an easy set up. Big thumbs up to her! It was so humid and hot so most of us were sweating, great grandparents were trying hard to stand up, kids were...being kids, and well, she DID an amazing job! (the 6 siblings are all in navy) It is SO Florida as some of us were swatting at bugs and flicking ants off our legs! The background is down the street from great granny Simms house in Clermont. Very Florida!

This is a great photo, and you have really described well the "natural conditions" we were all dealing with during this photo shoot! Not to mention that cousin Michal Sierens took the actual picture once Shelli got us set up. Michal is a great girl with an eye for balance--since she is an artist by profession. So thanks to Shelli for the layout and great ideas for set up and the amazing editing job, Michal for taking the shots and Natalie for the great idea for colors for everyone to wear. It is especially wonderful that Grandpa and Granny Simms are in this great picture <3
I love it!

That is an amazing pic, especially with all of those people! I can pretty much guarantee that the Toolson reunion photo (to be taken next month) will include at least one frowny face, one blinker and one profile... and that is without any bugs distracting us!
