J9 celebrated her bday this year with a small gathering on a boat at Lake Buchannan again this year - as she did in 2003 when I was pregnant with Lila. We had a great time - made more so because J9 herself was pregnant this trip. We ended up having to cut the trip short because of a severe rainstorm that sent us FLEEING the water as fast as we could go, but while we were out, we had a great time. The water was perfect and the wind was up and the company was fine. I hope you enjoy these photos.

A view from the shore, when we docked to walk on an island. I love this view of the boat.

Me, with the storm behind me. Can you believe how green and blue the water is?

Lane works the camera and gives us INTENSE surfer boy as the clouds gather on the other side of the lake. This is one of my favorite photos from this day!
Several of me, enjoying the wind and the water. I decided to mix things up a little and take a different hat this trip than the one I'd been wearing all summer long (my very favorite hat) - this one matched the green in my swimsuit and was fabulous to boot! In the photo without the hat, you can see how my hair is growing out.

J9 and Sondra watch the storm - will be beat it to the shore?? Just barely!

Yay, girlfriends!

Jennifer was fantastic and came despite having a cast on her foot. Only Jennifer could look this good while being all incapacitated. I LOVE her hat, don't you??

Lane & J9 - can you tell I had the camera a lot? We actually have a few photos of Lane!!! :)

Lane, Jennifer and Nate explore the island and watch the sky. I told them that if they ever form a band, they need to use this as their album cover. Doesn't it look like some moody band cover?
