I just downloaded a ton of personal images taken this summer between my camera and our point and shoot (so don’t mind the quality on some of these:)).  Summer is flying by and we are waiting to welcome our new baby any day now.

A friend of ours gave Elias this baby to practice his big brother skills:)  He was most interested in learning how to give the baby a bath and get it dressed.

One Saturday morning, we attended a steam roller painting event.  Elias really enjoyed it!

When he was done, he was able to bring home is stamped and numbered original print….just like an artist.

Next up, face painting…..Elias was so excited to have his face painted like Spiderman.

Elias loves to eat breakfast on the deck.

He has learned to use his new Razor scooter well and has made it all the way to the park and back with us.  He has done lots of bike riding this summer too.

We went raspberry picking last week and now are enjoying lots of tasty treats!

We have also done a lot of swimming, swimming lessons, soccer, and a ton of playing super hero figures; I haven’t gotten to those photos yet!   This summer has been wonderful so far.  I love being Elias’ mom and cannot wait to be a mom to two, I can’t imagine life getting much better than this, but I think it is about to as our family grows!

Nathan was my first senior of the season and I am so excited for the senior shoots ahead after working with him.   We had a gorgeous evening for photos and he came with several ideas of shots he would like, which I am always open to.

I meet up with this family at a park near Greenbush, MN.  We lucked out with a beautiful evening and they even drove to their session in this 1948 Ford truck, which was lots of fun to use in the photos!
