This was a day of firsts for Isaac. He rode his first bigboy rollercoaster, and then we went to his first rodeo. It was soooo fun!

We went with Geoff’s grandma to her nephew’s house. Boy was that fun! I was almost as giddy as Isaac was to tramps around their garden eating berries, swinging on the tire swing, finding eggs in the chicken coop and picking not-quite-ready apples.

Geoff’s sister Elise took her older girls to the pool and we got to hang out with little Sarah. What a treat!



Isaac on the swing Geoff put up on our huge tree in the front. It’s still in the construction process. I think I’m going to paint it red. Everything should be red, or polka dotted.

On the beautiful quilt my mom made.

We’ve created a monster.

This post is for my friend Julia A. who is always posting about her dirty girls.



I came out to our back area to find Isaac digging with this hiking shovel. I’m not sure how all this dirt went from the shovel to his face, but it made me happy to see my little boy out doing just what he should be doing…getting dirty and having fun.

We had a fabulous day at the park today. In the shade, hanging out with Amy while the kids played around and the minis slept.

Eating apples and going down the slide. A choking hazard, yes. Lots of fun, you bet!

The best one of the two of them…you should see the others!

Amy snapped this one while I was off taking care of Lucy. Love it.

My favorite one of Livi. Off in her own little world, with some serious static hair as a companion.

One of the boy.

I did a shoot this weekend for this sweet family. Look at all those girls and their proud mom!

One of the grandkids (how darling is she!). My camera seems to gravitate towards kiddies.

…I like to make sure my boy is well rounded. Well, lets be honest, we were both hard up for something to do.

Lucy turned two months old on Sunday. She’s starting to get chubby, sleeping longer at night (hooray!), smiling tons, and loves to watch her big brother. We love our little Lucy!
