And back in time.

We had a great time in Seattle in August, thanks to Nate and Anne Young flying me back to photograph their wedding. It was a whirlwind trip for sure, but we saw almost everyone we wanted to.

It's always fun and special seeing a wedding that is truly blessed. Anne and Nate are such a good team, it is amazing. It was an honor to be a part of their day.

On the way back home we took a day long layover in the Los Angeles area to see our old pastor Dan and his wife Debra. We were also able to see my Grandpa, the other Mark James Cornellison. He was first of course, and Grandma Mary. And the bonus was that my Uncle Larry and Aunt Susan who moved to Hawaii almost the same day we moved to NZ were visiting so I got to see them. They had their grandsons, Brian's boys, Hayden and Logan with them. It was a great visit and we got some family business done that was long overdue.

So here are some pics of them. First G&G. Nice shot huh? wouldn't guess that it was an In N Out burger joint. They look great and are still going strong. I hope I got a lot of Grandpa's genes. He's got titanium knees but the rest of him is original manufacturer's equipment.


Next is the Cornellison men, minus Brian (Larry's son), Dave and Doug (my half bros from my dad's first marriage). Someday I will get similar shots of them. I am always amazed and how genetics and upbringing work together. Not only physically, but personality, speech patterns, goofy sense of humor (which all of us seem to have, ask our wives) etc. You can never nail down the true source of a particular characteristic. We are amazing design. Not just the Cornellison men, but humans as a whole.

Grandpa, Larry (aka Stubby), my Dad (aka John), and me.
