friends...

So, our neighbors - Chris & Shelli - had all our neighbor friends over on the Sunday before Memorial Day to hang out. Good times! Didn't get many shots, but thought this was cute of Eva and her friend Shannan enjoying their watermelon (Pretty sure these are like their 8th pieces each at least!) Shannan's mom, Debbie, is my fabulous hairstylist!!

Gracie boo

Just love this recent shot of Grace. She looks so calm....

ART!

We were super excited that Kaylee and Grace both had art pieces chosen for a special art exhibit for all of Grace Blanc schools! There are quite a few schools in Grand Blanc and about 4000 kids, only around 125 pieces were chosen! We stopped by the exhibit on our way to Kaylee's soccer game. We're very proud of our little artists!! :)

Chicago!

Dave and I headed to Chicago the first weekend of May. I was booked to shoot an engagement session there and we thought we'd mix a little pleasure with business. It was Dave's first trip to Chicago! We had some crazy times - the L was down for a lot of the trip and I almost got ran over by a car, and I lost my transit pass - but we also had a nice time together and plan on going back, maybe next spring. :)

We went to the aquarium - loved these tiny seahorses!

Dave's favorites were the sharks of course
