Normally my son is extremely shy especially when I have my camera out. Eventually he came around and we got some great shots that show off his personality. I really love the stage he is in right now. He is exploring new things and becoming more independent, but will still snuggle at night. The perfect combination. 

The reason I do what I do right here, folks. 

These warm days are going by far too quickly already. I still have my mittens nearby just in case. You never know in these parts. This weekend we played outside every second we could. I can already see tan lines on both of my kids. 

She's still warming up to the sprinkler. 

Swimwear instead of snow gear? Yes, please!
