Lubbock!! Spring!! Here comes the Wind!! Not the day for an outdoor session!

I try to always be optimistic but it is so hard when the wind along with all the dirt makes you want to hide under the covers all day!!
I worked late last night at the studio.  No comments please from those who know I do this too much!
But I stayed much later than planned because I could hear the wind and kept hoping it would calm down just a little so I could get back to the house! It did not give any signs of stopping so I stepped out and I knew it was bad when I could see the dirt blowing in the glow of the street lights!
With a little grit in the eyes, I made it home.
My plan is to hide from it today and pretend it just does not exist!!
I will gaze upon all the images I have taken this week and enjoy that view instead!
Happy Spring!!

The Phillips Story

The Young Families Bible Class of Monterey Church of Christ has a special need and we are asking for your help!! The Phillips Family has 8 month old twin boys. The most precious boys you could ever meet! Nathan was born with many health issues resulting from a very traumatic delivery. The family now faces many financial obstacles. They have had medical bills that are out of reach, most importantly the fact that Nathan is currently uninsurable. I believe everyone understands that problem. So, we at Drake Design are helping the Bible Class with a project. You need Easter/Spring photos of your children or grandchildren. We are providing a special day and all proceeds will go directly to the Phillips family. This will be a spring background, with no scary bunnies!!! You know, the big, tall, they look sweet to you and me, but the kids scream and run, bunnies! Just pretty faces on all the children. By the way, if there are no children, I know you have a pet that is a kid in your family! They are welcome as well. Please consider this cause. If you have no one to photograph, we will be happy to take your donation! Call 806-797-9767 and we will give you a time on the schedule! We will take walk in guests, but the wait time might be longer. You are still welcome to come! Help us help this family

Tucker Miles Cagle!

Tucker Miles Cagle arrived on February 15, 2010! He has been such a joy! He is 3 weeks old today! We have been very busy. Mom & Dad along with big brother, Drake are so very proud of their new addition. I have had the pleasure of spoiling this one and making sure that Drake understands that YaYa ( that is me, the grandmother) still has more than enough time for the older grandson! Pops has been helping with all the excitement as well. Yes, he has certainly changed our schedule, but I think we are in a routine now. Even if we must stop and hold him, in the middle of that routine, we are all happy to do what ever it takes! What rich blessings God has bestowed upon our family!
