New Year's Day 2009

We celebrated the beginning of the new year in subdued fashion. Just some friends, grilled food, and of course, some cigars for the guys. Mike and Michele came over with their daughter Mallori, Chad, and their new grandson Michael William. M.W. was a week old at the time and pretty much slept through the entire visit. Brian showed up with some antelope steaks and some party saving lighter fluid for the grill (I was not as prepared as I should have been). Of course M.W. was the focus of the gathering.




Proud new parents.

While the coals were heating up, Chad and Mallori were kind enough to come downstairs to my studio for an impromptu photo session with the new baby. Even though it wasn't planned, and they had not dressed up for the occasion, we got some neat shots.

Good friends, good food, and an amazing new child... Good way to start off a new year in my book. Congratulations Chad & Mallori! Happy New Year Everyone! M
