And the number one reason we LOVE summer....

So, as the first day of fall has just passed, I want to share the number 1 reason we love summer....beautiful, uninterrupted time with FAMILY.  Nothing will ever compare to the time we have with each other. (The picture below is us, just one year ago...in the same place).

PERFECT. FAMILY. PICTURES.

Shelby (www.shelbyleigh.com) has been taking some of the BEST photos of my family. EVER. Here are some shots from our recent session.

Rowan's First Day of School.

Whoa, who hit the fast forward button?! My little snotty nosed, sweet faced, messy-haired munchkin is a bonafide pre-schooler. Armed with her Princess lunchbox, blanket and juice box - Rowan marched off to pre-school (with the help of her two big brothers). No fussing, no crying, and no whining. She's just getting too big too fast.

(Riley waits at dismissal for her big sister.)

Happy Birthday Papa!

Love always, Trina, Dave, Keegan, Joey, Rowan & Riley. 

Fun in the Sun :)

Just some of our pics from Ocean City, MD...Enjoy!

Riley's first trip to the shore, hon.

Truly we are Marylanders...and enjoyed every moment in Maryland's favorite resort town. More pictures to come but check out Riley's first dip in the ocean. (Note: She wasn't too excited about the cold water or the sand and preferred to sit under the umbrella with her daddy.)
