You didn't make a peep while your big brother ran circles around us all. You have settled into your family with such ease...like you were always meant to be there. You are a gift to your family, little one.

As the oppressive summer heat settles in, my mind can't help but to drift back to my favorite season...in a setting on an evening that was pure magic. [last time we saw them...]

And here's another one that seems to be growing up a bit too fast :-(. If you hang out with me on Facebook, you would have seen the one that makes me want to stand up and sing the National Anthem ;-).

You know that feeling you get when you open your eyes one day and look at your child and think, "Oh my gosh, you're growing too fast!"? Well...I get that feeling when I look at my clients' children, too. Yes, this little guy is growing way too fast!

I just returned from a weekend of reconnecting and recharging with several of the funniest, most talented, most intelligent women I've ever had the honor of meeting. When the idea of a Pinkle Toes workshop reunion first came up last year, I never imagined it might actually happen. I was also a bit concerned about mixing people from different workshops--*I* knew all of the ladies, but I wasn't quite sure how everyone would get along. But from the first 10 minutes of sitting in the hotel room with the group and laughing until we cried, all of my concerns flew out into the windy city.

I think I left a little bit of my heart in Chicago. I'd never been there, but I was completely blown away by how clean, fun, vibrant, and eclectic it was. I had my first Chicago style hotdog (YUM! - going to introduce the kids to this at dinner tonight ;-) and I think it's safe to say that ALL of us LOVED "the bean" (Cloud Gate). 

I'd like to say I'll come back and blog more of the BAZILLION pics we collectively took during this trip, but just in case that might fall through (which it probably will), I'll go ahead and sum it up here: easily one of the most enjoyable, fun-filled weekends of my life and I feel extremely lucky to call these women friends.  I would recommend (and use!) any of these photographers in a heartbeat:


And of course, my mom...AKA MeeMaw.

Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart!

[Oh, and to the girls that couldn't make it or to those who just came to workshops this year, we are very excited that plans are in the works for another one. It's just going to get bigger and better I know it!]
