laughing in the cool summer breeze // personal post

we are loving this cool summer weather. i wish all summers could be like this instead of sweltering heat and humidity. i better stop talking about it before i jinx it!!

i'm almost done with my eight weddings in eight weeks stretch and really looking forward to four weeks "off". of course i'll still be crazy busy with editing and family sessions and all my 2014 seniors are about to be snapped (ha!) coming up soon, so i'll still be plenty busy. But it will be nice to have some time off on the weekend to go with the family to the local fairs, family reunions, and possibly even debating on taking my three year old to her first ever movie theatre experience. i'm biting my nails just a bit because she can't sit still for longer than ten seconds literally so it'll be interesting if she is able to do it! plus my birthday is coming up so look for a special to be announced in celebration tomorrow ;)

thank you, thank you, thank you to those who are patiently waiting for your wedding galleries from the last couple of months. i'm working hard on getting those completed for everyone and am so grateful for your patience!

since it's been a while since i've shared some personal photos, here's a few of my loves from this summer.

we love corn in the summer!

bird catching....or trying to. it's one of her favorite things to do. although I always ask her "did you catch one?" and she sighs with disappointment "no...maybe next time. i'll try my butterfly net".

i call liam my little chunker. at four and a half months old, he is already 17 pounds which is five more than lexi was at this age. i laugh because lexi was in everything size newborn until about four months or longer and liam is already in six months and some even bigger sizes. he is over half of the weight of his sissy pants (that's what we call her) with her weighing in at only 31 pounds.

making progress. less than three weeks to officially crawling if he keeps up with his big sis who started crawling at 5 months and 1 week. we'll see if he can do it!
