Our cats in the summer

Meanwhile...

Avie at nearly 5 months

Errin's bundle of joy Avalynn is almost 5 months old already! Oh my. And, boy is she a good lookin', intelligent child. Errin stopped through on her way back home from Alvarado to Rochester, so, we thought we'd snap a few photographs of Avie. I can't wait until the day the Bean and Avie meet... there will be plenty of summer vacations at each others homes.

Mason & Alexis

Yesterday, Kris and I had the chance to see our good friends Stefanie & Justin and their adorable twin Mason & Alexis, just before the flew back to Las Vegas. It was great seeing the Costa Rica's... it's been a really, really, really long time. And, of course, it was super awesome meeting their two 5.5 month babes.

Mason & Alexis were born in December, but, since Stefanie was technically due in January I'm considering them part of the 2009: The Year of Love series. Oh, so cute.

Miss Lily turns 1!

Yeah! Lily is one year old (and cute as ever).










This is Lily's awesome scoot-crawl. Quite hilarious in person.

Alicia & Matthew's Save the Date Session

Our niece Alicia and her lovely fiance Matthew are getting hitched this September. They wanted to do a Save the Date card, so I took some photographs a few weeks ago in order to make them a post card. None of the photos you see here are used for the card, but I'd thought I'd share anyway. Expect another session with these two love birds later this summer.
