The Happy Couple (with more happy on the way!)

I got to know ~S in college (I won't say how long ago *wink* ) and I got to **really** know her on a whirlwind trip across our country by bus and backpack while we were in college. A girl who loves life, values human spirit and knows how to have a good time, I always love our small visits every so often to catch up on new jobs, new husbands and new babies. And after meeting ~J, I have to say ~S, you have met your match! I only spent just under an hour with ~J and I can honestly say these too are cheesy perfect for each other! And this new family unit is so perfect together, that I tried to get maybe two shots without ~J (who enthusiastically warned me as I stepped foot in the door that it was going to be like pulling teeth to get him to stick around for pictures, and then with the same enthusiasm stayed with us to the very end) I noticed that on the book shelf every other book was about baby and daddy. Awwww! *gush!*.

I can't wait to hear the good news! You will make wonderful parents.

Sun-kissed day at the park- in their jeans!

Sweet sunshine and sweet family. Definitely a theme to live by! What a day to soak in the last few rays of summer at the park. This family sure new how to throw the smiles out too. We even found a soon to be vintage (if it's not already!) land line public phone. Neener neener! I had a great time, thanks so much for getting me out on a beautiful day to spend some time with you all! (sorry ~M, the cheesy kisses were begging to be posted! )

hitting the streets, with style!

*could ~K be any more fun?!* Seriously.

I could have done this for a full day straight. Gorgeous girl + adventurous attitude = one fun photo shoot! And she wasn't holding back (I won't mention the superman-esque jeans to skirt change (okay, I just did) and where it was (good thing she could do it so quickly!) Thanks for venturing around the streets and thank YOU for asking me to do the pics- anytime!

Meet little C and Woody.

Little C has begun to play shy. I'm sure it's a master plan to get the ladies attention (you know, the shy, coy approach). Well- it works with me.

Little C. Is. Cute!

He has a friend, Woody. Woody loves to be here, there, everywhere. He is not shy, he is happy to be your friend right away (like as soon as you ring the door bell). He also had me at hello.

Sometimes in life we cannot help but have favorites (you know that's true!), I will always, always love to visit these people, they are people favorites for me!

beautiful family

In the beginning of summer, I met a beautiful lady who was gracefully turning 90. I can only hope I am as agile, witty and be- as she calls herself- the Bella of the ball! She lovingly made all of her granddaughters beautiful rings from her bracelet. Family is the true gem, and this one knows it!

We're going to the ZOO ZOO ZOO! How about YOU YOU YOU?

What better way to spend a Saturday than at the Zoo! And especially catching up with old friends. My how the family has grown! With so much energy and love, never a dull moment. We were happy to come along and share the fun. Chicken love, monkey impressions and carousel rides (the picture Mika had to make it into, ha ha!) I loved the matching blue hues, a calming colour makes for great vibes! I'm sure it would have lasted a smidge longer but with the clouds rolling in and thunder booming, we made it to the end of our day just in time. I can't wait to see you again. Thanks!

the time has come!

YAY!

So HAPPY to introduce my new HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

A special thanks to Mary from Oakes Web & Media who has truly made it the *sweet* home it is.

Lots of love!
