View Full Version : Conference Weekend Photo Swap
Corin Nava
07-27-2008, 09:02 PM
I know I really would like a copy of all the pictures taken this weekend...and I'm sure a lot of others do too. So here is my idea.
Whoever wants to participate in a photo swap- either email me or send me all your pictures with your mailing address. When I get everyones I will combine them all onto one CD and mail out a copy to whoever wants one. Please reply to this thread if you want to participate or if you would like a copy so that I know who to expect photos from and who to send them out to.
Mail them to:
Corin Nava
105 Litton Ave
Groton, CT 06340
Email them to:

I kust got my pics uploaded to my puter and OMG Corin you will love the one that I did of Nate and you at the Angel Ball (at the pond!).......I took 179 pics (YIKES!!).....I will go thru them and send you as many as you want. Which way would you prefer? E-mail or disk? Either way is fine with me!
Corin Nava
07-29-2008, 12:24 AM
I'm thinking disks would be easiest.... especially if it's a ton! (I want them all!!!!!) :)
Penny-don't kill me.... I know it must have taken you forever to email me all those pictures on DIAL UP!!! But they came out as very low quality pics.... could you put them on a CD and send them to me pleeeaaasssee. I will love you forever :)
PennyCampsey
07-29-2008, 07:27 AM

Barb
Corin Nava
07-29-2008, 10:13 PM
Oh Barb, I know!!! I was trying to be oh so subtle about it, but Penny called me out on it! :shock: Wasn't that your gift anyway-lol!

I'm not so concerned about your beer can snapshot; I'm just praying that Steph's picture of me and a certain balloon doesn't show up on here : )
Dawn Torrence Ireland
07-30-2008, 07:34 AM
No no no no no telling about that bag!!!! This is a children's charity site for goodness sake!!!! Same for Kara's balloon incident. We have a lot of new parents here who don't know that most of us at the conference have known each other for 5 or 10 years, that we all have a weird sense of humor.... can you imagine being newly diagnosed, coming here for support and reading about ahem... not even gonna say it! lol. So let's respect those parents please. Shaz, use your worst imagination and you're probably right! lol. One of these ladies can PM you about the bag.
Thanks for keeping it CLEAN everyone! LOL
PennyCampsey
07-30-2008, 07:34 AM
Hmmmm I have suddenly developed AMNESIA overnight, I cant remember what was in the bag ......

karahess
07-31-2008, 06:38 AM
Oh good, Tara! I could use a good one of me and Chuckles. I have a couple, but I think I have a real goofy look on my face. In one, I look good, but Chuck's jacket is bunched up.
Anyone who has some good ones or severely dorky ones of me, could you please email them to kara_hess@yahoo.com or karahess@neo.rr.com. Steph, email me that balloon one!
TaraHall
07-31-2008, 02:27 PM

karahess
08-01-2008, 06:11 AM
Don't judge them by the picture. Once Adam warmed up to Shelby, they got along great and gave lots of hugs. I think Adam is in love.
Anyone have a picture of Adam giving "the look"?

I have NO reception and am writing this as quick as I can.
Corin--Shane is going to town(12 miles) away and is going to mail your DVD.
I love you all and I hope you have a great week-end.
I am hoping that after we set up...I can go to the store and get better reception for my laptop.
Wish me luck here in the NO WHERE VILLE!!
KARA--you would not be pleased with this situation!!!!! LOL LOL LOL
I am really a sport as Shane is calling me!! My face expressions are something to see!!!
There is another couple here with us and she is not happy either!!!
What fun we will have until Wednesday!!!!!
Hugs

Corin, I have CDs to mail you once they all get here - the photographers are sending theirs in. I have 1 so far (the portrait photographer). Uploading some of her stuff to the album now.
Corin Nava
08-04-2008, 07:10 PM
Great Dawn!!! I can't wait to get them!
I got Barb and Steph's in the mail today-some really cute pictures!!! I can't wait to get everyone elses!
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-04-2008, 07:19 PM
I got Steph's today too (thank you, Stephanie!!!). I have some projects that need photos that I couldn't wait on so Steph and the photographer's CDs were a blessing today! I uploaded a ton of photos in the album today - still not all of them though. But there are some adorable ones of you and Nate! ;)
Corin Nava
08-04-2008, 07:50 PM
Wow-those are some amazing pictures! Everyone looks so beautiful! I love the pics of Nate and I dancing :) Steph printed one out that she had taken and sent it to me-I LOVE IT!
PennyCampsey

Corin - Steph let me see ther pictures - the one of you and Nate was so gorgeous!
Corin Nava
08-06-2008, 09:10 AM
Thanks Kate! I really love that picture-I think that was one of the first really romantic moments we have had since Ayla was born and it really was captured on that picture :)
StephanieOlivarez
08-07-2008, 12:54 PM
Ok, I am back and am going to look at the photo album.
It was a beautiful place we stayed.
Four Season's ATV resort or something like that. HA HA
We enjoyed it really--but I feel it was just a little to long.
The girls had a blast and that is important.
I am happy to be going home.
We were in West Finley, PA.
Steve (KAte's husband) knew right were it was!!! So finding us was easy.
We enjoyed their visit so very much.
I love the picture of you and Nate also Corin. You look so in love and very happy.
How are you going to do this Corin? Wait until you get ALL the DVD's--then burn copies for everyone on your list?
I am wondering to save you on postage---bring the one's off your list to the Ohio picnic. That saves you time.
Dawn--are you coming to the Ohio picnic?
I can't wait to see all the pictures!!!!!
Corin Nava
08-07-2008, 12:59 PM
Good idea Steph! I think that I probably will bring them to the Ohio picnic for the people who are going to be there. I can't wait to put it all together!
Glad you and the girls had a good time!
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-07-2008, 01:27 PM
I'm undecided right now, Steph, depends on work. Or if Penny and I are carpooling. I'll let you all know!
TaraHall
08-07-2008, 01:59 PM
Corin, I still need to get you a CD!
Oh Dawn you need to come, please! I have been bugging the heck out of Penny to get her here.
We saw Brandon's surgeon today (gave him his t-shirt) and he is planning on being there barring any family medical emergencies. He is not even on call that weekend so hopefully it will all work out for him. He asked if he was supposed to wear his t-shirt. I told him he could if he wanted to so I won't be surprised if he shows up in it.
Brandon has gained 11 lbs in a year! BUT he has also gotten a lot taller (need to look up how many inches he has grown) so the weight has basically been cancelled out. He is still 10 %ile for height and 5 %ile for weight. He did say he is slightly falling off his curve for the weight but overall looked good. His right side of his chest is sticking out more (I emailed him the other day about it) but poses no concern right now. Ok that is our little update LOL
hugs!
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-07-2008, 02:04 PM
I'm working on it, Tara, I really want to be there and hang out with everyone! I didn't get to do much of that at all at the conference so I really want to just come and be one of the girls! lol.
WTG, Brandon!!!!!!! That's wonderful news, Tara!!!!

Tara--it sounds like the over-all appointment went well.
How do you feel about it all?
OVERALL looked good--I think that is GREAT!!!!!!
Corin-you will do such a great job with the DVD. I can't wait to see it all together.
Dawn--you need to try and come...so you can actually RELAX!!!!!!!You deserve it!!!!

I feel it went well. It is nice to have them now that are short and sweet. Plus I have both the surgeon and his ped's email address and they are great about emailing me back right away. So if I ever feel anything is wrong (like with his chest the other day I sent him a picture LOL) I just email him/them and they get right back to me.
I am not concerned with the weight. The child eats, has actually been eating better the last few days (always on again off again) so that will always be an issue. We opened up the Wii Fit today and he is playing that and his BMI is low and it of course said he is underweight LOL. Hopefully he doesn't lose weight playing this! I haven't started it yet but the yoga and hoola hoop look pretty cool :)

Tara-good to hear that Brandon's appointment went well! I want the Wii-it looks very addicting!
Dawn-how long of a drive is it for you?
StephanieOlivarez

We have heard Wii is AWESOME!!!
Let us know how you like it!!!
You Tara--make me smile everytime you post. Your positive attitude is AWESOME and you have helped me more than you will ever know.
THANKS GIRL!!!!
I can't wait to see all at the Ohio picnic.
I think I will have serious issues after the picnic is over!!!
When are we doing something again???
WE can't wait until the conference!!!

LOL Steph. Glad I can keep you positive! The Wii is addicting. I am trying to stay away from it or I would be up all night. I really like Mario Cart racing, you can bump the other cars out of your way. Gotta remember when I really drive that I can't do that LOL. I am anxious to try the Fit Board. It has skiing, yogo, strength training, hoola hoop, and other games. It also keeps track of all your stats (you put in height and weight and it measures your balance). It is really cool.
Well you can count on the Ohio picnic every year. Dawn, is this our 9th or 10th year? I can't wait to see you all again!

LOL, Stephanie. We need to get more Reps to hold events. We really need events in TX and around South Dakota and more in the middle of the states. Really need to follow up on that RV tour around the country idea. LOL.
Corin, it's about 10 to 12 hours drive to Columbus for me - lots of mountains. I think - been a few years since I drove up there. Tara, how long did it take you guys?
Steph, are you home yet for a while? When do the girls go back to school?
StephanieOlivarez
08-07-2008, 03:34 PM
I am going to be home in like 20 minutes!!YEAH!!!!!
The girls go back to school August 15th.
I am only going away for the week-end. Will have my laptop with me.
Dawn---I am thinking a phone call sometime soon is needed!!!
Barbara and KevinWagner
08-07-2008, 03:35 PM
Tara---Brandons appt sounded like it went well! Yeah! The good appt's are finally starting to catch up to the bad ones huh?!?
Oh I am soooo asking for a Wii for x-mas.......LOL Hopefully Kev will give in....he didn't last year! darn it! I keep telling him that it would be a great thing for my diabetes! ROFL He is not buying that theory....he says that I will end up dropping my sugar from playing too much! LOL
Only 2 more weeks till the picnic! YEAH!!
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-07-2008, 03:41 PM
Call me anytime, Steph! Call the office number - my cell is being a royal PITB, the battery keeps dying on me, gotta get to Raleigh to go buy a new one sometime next week.

It took us about 8 hrs to the conference. Hey the mountains are fun LOL Didn't see any cops so I was cruising on the way there. Jeff drove back and I tried to sleep but the boys weren't getting along!
Oh yea Barb, it is much better now that we can go in and get out. I love our surgeon but so glad we only have to go once a year. We were talking about how it used to be three times a week. Big difference.
Ok I just checked somethings out and since Sept 19th he has gained 7 lbs and grew 3 inches. That was when he last saw the ped so I will compare all that when we see her again. I can't find my info yet when we last saw surgeon. Anyway he has grown :)

Dawn, did you get your flower pot? Did the volunteers who you wanted to have one, get one? How did they turn out? Did everyone like them? I hope they were as you expected them to be and everyone who wanted one got one.
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-12-2008, 03:37 PM
I got 7 of them from the hotel room before we left... I haven't given them to them yet - we're having a cookout to thank all the local vendors and volunteers and we'll do it then. I need to know what we want to put in them though!!! Plants? CHERUBS Items? Also, not all the vendors and volunteers are getting pots - so what do we want to do about them? We have no budget so we need to be creative here! They all did so well and we really want them to come back every year as these 2 events will be what pays for our conferences and events when they start making a lot of money. Next year should be awesome - I expect to see a lot of you here in NC for the Angel Ball next fall and the Golf Tourney next spring! :)
LynneB
08-12-2008, 03:41 PM
I would put Cherubs items in them if you already have the items to save money. I think you had a couple of people in mind to give them to in the thread we were on.
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-12-2008, 03:46 PM
Yeah, the event planners, marketing lady and a couple others who really, really put in a lot of hours and blood and sweat and tears for us.
I know I want to give t-shirts and certificates to each of them, all of them.
What else to go into the flower pots? I don't have a ton of CHERUBS stuff here, just t-shirts and some cookbooks are the only items that I would give the general public like them. We use cafepress now so I'm not storing tons of stuff anymore. Any suggestions? Maybe framed photos from the events? Not all have photos though - the marketing lady didn't attend the events. So I need suggestions. Cheap suggestions as this party and gifts are coming out of my pocket.

who gets the flower pots ? i wondered about those . somehow i missed that subject LOL
and i will get my cd to you corin .. dang ,i forgot about it . will do it tomorrow
Dawn Torrence Ireland
08-12-2008, 04:13 PM
The flower pots are thank-yous to the local people who helped with the events. 2 for event planners, 1 for our auction company, 1 for Craig (who doesn't know about them), 1 for the media lady, 1 for the Jr. Women's League leader and I am keeping 1 because I'm greedy and they are so darn cute and I want one so badly!!! LOL We want them to remember the events, what they are for and hopefully this will keep them coming back every year.

I think this had been mentioned before but what about a bottle of wine? Or would that get too expensive?
Corin Nava
08-12-2008, 06:52 PM

The pics are awesome Corin! WoW! Everyone got so many great pics and I am so happy to have a copy of them!! The video of Ayla is soooo cute Corin. She is so cute in the water.....tha you for including that! I wish that we would have had a camea at the pool in Ohio too!!
Thanks again for doing these Corin!!
Corin Nava
09-12-2008, 02:24 AM
No problem! There really were a LOT of great pictures! I was excited to have them all :)
I didn't even realize I included the video-lol. Well, that was a little bonus for everyone. Try to ignore the fact that my boobs are hanging out of my bathing suit, I didn't realize it until I saw the pictures- thats what I get for breastfeeding ;)
JeanneNava
09-12-2008, 11:39 AM
OK- where are my pictures? Corin....................I WANT THEM TOO!!!
I feel left out. Wah Wah Wah (Insert temper tantrum here)
I know. I have to be patient. Funny though how the person who lives closest to you (ME) gets the pictures last.
Just teasing you Corin. I bet you're holding mine hostage until I buy your new camera. LOL
Love,
Mom AKA the Nanny
Corin Nava
09-12-2008, 12:34 PM
