Beautiful....

I thought I would add some more photos of my beautiful cousins who were gracious enough to let me boss them around for a few hours ;o)

Kids will be kids.....

These photos are from a session I had with my cousin... I should say a session that I tried to have. He was not very cooperative but I think I got some cute shots out of him.

I'm lucky to have them as my cousins!

Something I Learned Today...

I have decided to site see around Johnstown. While with my Grandma at the Flood Museum she told me the story of her great great grandfather being lost in the 1889 flood. The story is that he was at his wife's funeral which was postponed because of the rising waters. Being distraught, he did not go home when the others did. He was last seen leaving the church and walking into a bar. I like to think that he loved her so much, he didn't want to leave her and just stayed at the church.

Later while looking through some books, we found a bit about my Great Great Great Great Grandmother's Funeral....

Here is an excerpt from another book....

"The rising waters also interrupted a funeral. Mrs. Mary McNally died the previous day at her home in Prospect. Her body was removed to St. John's Roman Catholic Church at Jackson and Locust streets at 8 A.M. for the requiem mass. During the funeral services, the water rose so swiftly in the streets outside that the mourners were forced to disperse to their homes and it was impossible to proceed with the burial at the Lower Yoder cemetery. There was nothing to do but leave the casket by the altar."
