Yesterday morning, I took photos of Grayson who just turned 2. What a handsome little guy!

Even though he was 2 and not wanting to sit still or smile much, I did capture some! Well, about 200! So sweet.

Of course, I was reminded of Edward's curly blonde hair and had to talk about him for a bit.

Edward bought a new car late last week and we went over to the spot where I took photos of Dad's new car a couple of years ago. Fun! I think this pic will be fun to look back at someday!

Northern Michigan Adventure

This past weekend, we visited John's sister & brother-in-law at their cottage up north. We celebrated their 29th anniversary with them with a 2 hour kayak trip on the Platte River. Bridget took the above pic as we pulled in after sunset and I also managed to get one of her after the sun set. unfortunately, I didn't take any others this weekend. Such beautiful country!

Hang on... Friday's coming!

Haha, I took this one of Edward this past Friday afternoon when he came home from work. He was so nice to wait for a second - as you can imagine, he was anxious to get out of his clothes!
