I couldn’t have been happier to take these two’s photos (just for fun). They were so cute and very much in love and even though Brandon would rather be behind the camera than in front of it he actually did a great job after the first few attempts to warm up to the camera. They changed outfits 3 times and here are some samples of their photos and what they wore.

September 14, 2009Preschool for my little guy!
September 11, 2009Delilah is 10 months old and Parker is heading to preschool! Where does the time go? I can’t believe how fast they are growing up.
Parker started preschool on Wednesday and while he had no problem what so ever, I on the other hand felt a bit lost. I walked around aimlessly cause I wasn’t ready to leave him for the next 13-17 years of his life in the hands of teachers, and school bells, bullies, friends, enemy’s, etc. etc. It is all so strange for me. But I know he is perfectly capable, likable, friendly and funny. He will have a good time, even when I am freaking out!
I’m so happy…I could dance!
August 29, 2009Ah, the joys of being a mom. I have had this silly Yo Gabba Gabba song in my head all morning! I didn’t even watch the show today, and yet somehow it creeps into my brain and can’t get out! Today is a beautiful “FALL” day in the middle of August and we are going to head out to the farmers market soon to enjoy the cool weather and a weekend off work! Next weekend we are back to photographing weddings and I can’t wait cause the wedding is outside at a park and the couple is awesome and so relaxed and happy together! But for now I am going to enjoy my kids and hubby and eat some home made bread and maybe some blueberries. My little ones are growing so fast I can’t even believe it! Parker is heading to preschool in a week! and Delilah is almost 10 months old! We have had a rough week but all in all every day is a blessing! So if you have kids, snuggle em close cause they grow WAY too fast!

August 28, 2009The Zoo
August 19, 2009Last year around this time we took a trip to the Grand Rapids zoo. This year was SO different than last year. I was struck by how crazy it was to have two kids with us instead of one. Last year Delilah was just a bun in the oven and I was exhausted before we even started out on our animal adventure. I remember being winded by the end of our trip and really needing a nap last year. This year seamed so effortless and I couldn’t even imagine being tired walking the length of the tiny zoo. Mike and I love this zoo cause we both think it is exactly the right size! The Detroit zoo is nice but so so so big for just a 4 year old to explore. Grand Rapids has so many animals but is just the right size. There are camel rides, sting rays you can pet, a bird cage you can feed the birds from and a petting farm. The penguins are so cool and really close up too (that was always my favorite when I was little). I think we will take another trip when it is cooler, but here are some pics of my wild and crazy kids.
This year he actually touched the sting rays! Last year he wanted nothing to do with them!

Her favorite sleepy time bear. So cute!
And the zoo last year!!! He hasn’t changed too much right? Zoo 2008
