Waterloo Girl

The contrasts between reunions on Sarah's side and my side of the family are pretty interesting. Sarah's extended (and I mean extended) family participates. She knows half of folks that attend, which means I know maybe a dozen. The event lasts an afternoon. That many people in that short of time frame and... Mr. Introvert is outta the tent and onto photogging! Fortunately, this annual reunion yields in some of the best still-life photography I do....

Then there's the reunion on my side of the family.... mostly my immediate family, S.O.'s and nieces. And it's a week long. The Vomastek's love it, but you can tell it wears on the significant others a bit. Those reunions are a textbook example of an overindulgence in food, vino and fun. Still great photo ops... albeit dominated by willing nieces!

Our families are diverse in many ways. Perhaps not in the traditional sense, but certainly in a practical one. Sarah and I know we are blessed to have such great families on both sides of our marriage. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
