My talented niece
My very talented niece Courtney won first prize at the Colorado State Fair for her stunning photo of her friends’ preemie son with his dad’s hand. I’m so proud of her! Here’s my not nearly as wonderful photo of her and her son Evan with her photo and award.
I loved visiting with you all and miss you already!!!

That’s very cool for Courtney to win that prize. I have been thrilled, as you doubtless read in my blog, to win a couple of County Fair photo contests, but haven’t entered a State Fair.
Looks like baby turned out fine, or is that a different child?

Hi Aunt Donna.
Thought I would write a quick note. :)
Evan and I had fun seeing you! Next time hopefully I’ll have more time off to spend with you!
Hugs!
Courtney

gerry, it’s not her baby, it’s her friends’ baby boy.
Ascender, thanks — in person, it really does create powerful emotions…
Courtney, thanks for the note! I enjoyed the time I got to see you and Evan. He’s an amazing kid! Reminds me of my guys at that age, especially Greg….
