we had a wonderful and relaxing (well as relaxing as it can be with a family of 5) labor day weekend. we spent some time just getting stuff done around the house and then had our annual family reunion. we camped one night with our families and did the whole nine yards. from swimming, to canoeing, to rope swinging, to making smores, catching toads and even fishing. i even slept in the tent this year… normally i get out of it b/c i’m either nursing or have a newborn. i made the sacrifice this year and i’m so glad that i didn’t miss a thing.

me and my favorite daughter 🙂
and here’s the frog/toad hunting fool…the only shot i have of him where’s he not looking down trying to find a creature or treasure in the water. we are now the proud owner of a frog! lovely! hey, but at least his hair looks cute here! also, i wanted to update you on my availability this fall. All weekends are now booked though November with with the exception of Nov 22. My cutoff this year is Nov 15 for getting prints back in time for Christmas. my only other days available are tuesday and thursday mornings at 10am. these are great slots for newborns or children not in school. please contact me for more information! i will be selling gift certificates if you are interested in giving the gift of photos this year.
