I got these because Kevin took them.
This is the Idaho desert north of Shoshone.

In this desert is a reservour of water that ran off the mountains. The water comes from the snow melt off the mountains. The water is high in June. Some of the water is spilling over the dam.

Mark and Akeey picked a beautiful place to picture their wedding announcement. We held a reception in Richfield on July 15, 2006.

Leilani Naunivia Ellis, arrives Sept. 14, 2007. She weighed 6 lb. 14.5 oz. and was 20" long.

She was born in Coeur d' Alene. I was there. I flew from Boise on Sept. 5th leaving at 9:00 am and arriving at 9:00 am. We cross the time zone.

We crossed a time zone for Mark and Akeey too. They are zoned for parenthood now. Life will never be the same again. It will be richer and more character demanding than ever. Raising a child is a demanding occupation both night and day. The rewards are boundless and everlasting.
