A conversation between Eric and I a couple days ago as we were leaving the farm.

ERIC: “when are we moving, mom”

ME: “when it’s winter time, when the snow falls again”

ERIC: “so I can dig with my shovel in the snow at the farm”
ME: “YES”

ERIC: “but, my kid shovel is NOT at the farm”

ME: (trying to explain what moving means) “well, we’ll take that with us, and your other toys as well as your bed and our dishes” …

ERIC: “how about my sandbox”

ME: “ummmm….well…..no….I guess your sandbox isn’t going to move…”

after a moment of thinking “We can just tell dad to build a new one!”

ERIC: “do you think I can help him build it”

phew…I thought I was in trouble there!….

REALLY, is he sleeping with his feet against the wall?

Eric woke up when the flash fired…he said “what ARE you doing???”…then he covered his face with his cozy blanket and went back to sleep again!

(they are watching TV, I’m assuming the show said something about your hands on your head!)

Eric is almost the same size…Jer is almost bigger than Eric!  LOL….

This was SO cute though…all the white ones yawning…the black ones look bored!  I was taking some pictures since they will be listed for sale soon!

Enjoy one of the last pictures of the pup’s!

Gerda prepared a cute little graduation presentation for the kids.  They sang us a song “Mr. Sun, Sun Mr. Golden Sun” which was fitting because it was a bright sun shining day!  Perfect for our first morning at the splash pad!

Kinder Kids is such a cute little program.  It is a great way to get kids ready for that next step!  Thank you Gerda for all your hard work with the kids!  Eric really enjoyed Monday mornings!

With 2 aunts, Grandma & Grandpa & Mom and Dad to take care of “J” he’s quite happy to be the centre of attention!

This was a  fun session with one toddler, a dog and 6 adults!!  Their beautiful house as the backdrop for the pictures…this was a fun, relaxed session!

Thank you for inviting me to your home!

June has been a great month!  Fun and busy!  Meeting up with lots of clients & editing pictures galore!  Thank you to everyone for a great start to 2009!  The first half is almost over and I’m VERY excited to see what the second half has in store!

Since July is holiday month, it is slower (so far) on the business side of things, but I will be away for a week and a couple weekends. (Vacation time!!)  If you need to book a session or prints ordered please let me know so that you will be taken care of!!

I hope that you are enjoying the blog pictures.  If you have ideas or would like to see yourself or your family ‘featured’ please let me know!

Happy Weekend!!!!

Aren’t sleeping kids the best?!!!!

Jer’s not really a ‘baby’ anymore…but he’s still my baby!!!

Each picture tells a story.

What story does this tell you??

What you can’t see in this picture is Coach Jeremy telling Eric that he needs to be kicking the ball the OTHER way…he’s about to score on his own net!  It’s hard to burst his bubble because he’s soooo proud that he actually has the ball for a few moments!
