Whoa!

Where did that summer just go!!
It's been wonderful....restful....and I'm ready to roll for the new year.
But first....one more week up North!
What a life!
Must be off to bed before the last day of packing.....
But first, a post would not be complete with a cute baby with two teeth.....oh!  And I have one of those.   The baby that is.  Thankfully I have more than two teeth.
Sheesh.
Time for bed.

Two in one week.

Evelyn and I had two photo sessions in one week!  Busy! (For us freelancers that is!)  It was hot hauling straw bales around, and chasing a three year old boy whose main goal was to avoid the camera.   But we think we pulled it off.  It is a fun way to enjoy time together particularly in the summer months!
ENJOY!

The King of Random.

This guy is quite the crack-up.
Jacob has been quite good at documenting (on his blog) the random conversation of his brother.
I've borrowed some from his blog for your enjoyment.
