Photo Time

My sister in law Shannon asked for me to take a few pics of Evie and Noah, so I decided to test lighting on Kaden first, which turned into Kathryn wanting her picture made too.  None the less, the pics of Evie and Noah went well, and I got several of Kathryn and Kaden too...they love having the picture made!  Kaden is 2 years and 10 months and Kathryn is 6 years and 10 months...

Hello Summer!!!!

Summer break is on, and this family has been living it up!  I officially completed my 12th year of teaching.  I know I have said this before, but I truly love my job.  I especially love having a job where I have the entire summer off.  With our recent move to our new home, I have so many summer projects to complete.  I try to work on something house related for a few hours a day (between my summer fitness program and playing with Kathryn), and I have gotten some things done, but I have tons left to do.  I am not stressing over it, because I have ALL SUMMER LONG to get things done.  Have I mentioned I love summer?!?!?!  Here are some pics to show the start of our break...
