We’ve only been in Michigan for a few days… so I’ve been trying to give the kids a break from my camera– but that is about to end since we are going “up north” on Monday– which is one of my favorite places on earth.  I’ll post some pictures from that adventure when I get back… but for now, they are enjoying every second on the lake and swimming up a storm.  Here is their first attempt at fishing— trying to catch the “tickle fishies” (i.e. minnows who last year freaked them out when they nibbled on their toes, so this year I told them they were tickling them… it seemed to work!)

ENJOY:On a ride at the county fair… hilarious!

And one of Ry holding a baby chick…. and two seconds later, Ella grabbed it by the neck and handed it back to the farmer.  I hope he is ok. 

These seven children are all cousins… and they are my cousins’ kids!  (So the lady on the left is my aunt and to the right is Uncle Bob!)  They all came for a visit and a quick mini-session with all the kids before we had some fun time in the lake and on the boat.  They are all adorable and so much fun to be around!  I was looking for some older kids to photograph– so now I’ve had a taste of how much fun it can be! 

And one of my new favorites…. look for one of my own children doing this in the next few days! 

And so much hair!!!  This little guy was simply adorable.  He has an older sister who is going to take such good care of him.  This session was so quick– had another sleepy newborn!!  ENJOY!

LITERALLY.  And… she almost lives on my block.  :)  This little girl has been all smiles since her newborn session in December…. and I can’t get enough of her dimples and little giggles.  She’s getting so big, so fast– and her Mommy wanted some pictures to document this cute phase she is in.  I think we got just what we wanted.  Big sis, Reese, was not planning on getting in any shots, but when their mom went in to get something, I plopped them down together and took a few of them!  So cute.

ENJOY:

And the flower pot baby:

Hello!  I had to show you all this beautiful storyboard I just made for my best friend.  You’ve seen most of these pictures before if you follow my blog– but how amazing do they look all together!?  I ordered it in 30×30 for her– and got it in the mail yesterday.  It is INCREDIBLE!  I’m putting together one for my husband for his office right now.  It’s a great way to show off a ton of pictures, but not worry about how to frame them all on your wall.  One frame, no glass needed– and you’re done.  Love it.

Also, I am going to be on vacation for the rest of the month starting on Tuesday.  I will return emails and phone calls, but probably not as promptly.  If you are in the process of ordering your prints, don’t worry because I’ll be taking all of my files with me.  If you are waiting for prints to be delivered, I have one more shipment coming on Monday or Tuesday and I’ll get those all out before I leave.

Thanks and Enjoy!!!
