I promise not to clutter my blog with my kiddos but I have to post at least one session a year! It is back to school time! I always head into the new school year with mixed emotions. I adore having the kids home with me all day. I love our lazy mornings, trips to the movie theater and endless snow cones. It takes me a good month to get used to them being gone and figuring out what my new routine will be. I also cannot wait for school to start because that means fall and winter are right around the corner and I LOVE that time of year. School holiday parties, planning birthdays, sweaters, hot chocolate, boots and did I mention shopping?! The hardest part about back to school is seeing just how stinking big my kids have grown over the last year. I love watching them grow but I hate knowing they are just that much closer to leaving me! It never seems to fail that the day we pick to shoot it is a bazillion degrees outside. Chris went with me and we shot in record time.

This session was difficult for me to edit because for some reason I caught so many of my favorite expressions from Conan. MY sweet, sensitive, tough, contemplative, loving, happy, silly, crazy boy. I adore this kid so much. It was hard not to tear up. He was not really into the session, I mean really, more pictures. Yup, get used to it kid! Kolbie is finally at the point where she likes to have her picture taken and is always trying to show me a new pose or silly face. Oh the joys of shooting your own children. I love it all! I managed to grab a few of them together and I loved how it turned out. I keep telling myself they will thank me later!!!

I now have a 2nd grader and a pre-schooler. We are lucky parents to say the least. Thank you for letting me share my little ones with you!
