| Part of our family, from L-R, Kyle, Cindy, Stephanie, Shane, and Me, June, 2012 |
My heart goes out to my dear friend Brenda and her family, who have suffered a tragic loss in their family. Without going into details, if you are people of prayer, please lift them up in prayer today and in the days to come. Pray for God’s Peace, Strength, and comfort to come upon that family, and while you are thinking about a family, remember your own family, and thank God for all that He has given to you.
The Wordless Wednesday theme for today is the August Calendar Shot. The picture above is just one of many that I would include for my August month. Special thanks, as always, goes out to my friend Deb for hosting this over at Focused on the Magic. To see the rest of the posts, just click on the button at the end of the post, but first, take a look at just some of the family photos we’ve taken over the years.

Now, why don’t you head on over to Deb’s site and check out all the other Calendar Shots for this week’s theme? Thanks for stopping by, and remember, please keep Brenda and her family in your prayers. Thanks!
Prayers to your friends and her family! And the shots are beautiful. Definitely highlights family.
Thanks, Mary! It's a tough time for them right now, but they are strong in their faith, and with our prayers and God's help, they'll be okay in time. Thanks!

Mike – I'll absolutely keep your friend and her family in my prayers this week – and I hope that you'll also update us so we can give prayers of thanksgiving as well!
I love all your family photos – to me, that is what Disney is all about – building those amazing memories not only with family but with friends. It's truly an amazing place!
Thanks Katrina! I'll do that. Thanks for stopping by!

Sending prayers for Brenda and her family! Love all your pictures!! It doesn't get any better than being able to celebrate in Disney with family and friends!! Thanks for sharing and for joining today in the blog hop fun!
Mike, Great shots of you and your family.. You guys always look great..
Sending prayers and Pixie Dust.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your friend and her family. Your pictures are a wonderful showing of 'ohana. What amazing memories we all make at Disney. Thanks for sharing.
Prayers to your friend and the family. Gorgeous family memories of your magical vacations with your family.
Prayers on the way!
One thing I love about my Disney photos is watching my kiddos grow from year to year. I see that with Sophie. She's adorable.
Wow!! Some fabulous photos there. Gotta love those photopass photographers capturing those great moments. Thanks for sharing!!
Such a happy collection! And some super fun 2012 borders and shots… (LOVE that 1st one w/fireworks added to the edges!!) now I'm having a little Pity Party that there are no Disney trips for us this year ;)
These are terrific Mike- I just love your “scared” faces! Prayers and thoughts; what you say so well is so very true.
Beautiful family photos, Mike! I will definitely be sending prayers Brenda's way.
Thanks, Beth! Brenda is a great friend, just like you. The only difference is that I've met Brenda! :) Time to correct that for us! Wish we could meet at Disney one year!
Thanks, Tami, sorry for the downer! Maybe I'll do a Disney In Pictures theme “Disney Downers” or something one week. No, I don't think I could handle that!
Thanks Tricia, thanks for stopping by!
Thanks Didi! The best of that picture were my wife Cindy and niece Stephanie! :)
Thank you! Prayers are the best thing we can do, but sometimes it still feels inadequate, like there should be something else that we should do also.
Thanks, Sean! Thanks for stopping by. You are exactly right about the memories we make at Disney!
Thanks Diane!
Amen, Deb. You've got it right, family and friends are what makes it at Disney! Thanks for praying for Brenda and her family!
Thanks for sharing such special family photos. I love the girls' progression through the years – so precious. Sending your friend prayers to make it through.
