summer snaps

Well hiiiii there! :-) I can't believe the ENTIRE summer has passed me by without popping in to say hello! Our summer consisted of baseball, baseball and more baseball. The boys' tournaments were last week, and we only have a couple weeks to relax before the kids head back to school August 13th. Can you believe that, the 13th??! This is the first year the kids will be in three different schools. Collin will start middle school, Drew will be in 3rd grade and Livia will be in preschool for another year. If you are local and see me whizzing by in my van, you may refer to me from here on out as The Blur.

Also... my photography has taken a serious hit this past year. The time to pick up my camera has been limited (I'm rarely even on IG these days!) so I decided to enroll in an online class. It's called Shooting 301: Fine Art and Visual Expression. I really want to get better and more creative with my photography. Gosh, there's so much I want to write on this subject, but these last few summer evenings are precious and I need to be with my family. For now, here are a few snapshots from the summer.

Oh Karli- I know what you mean. But I certainly don't think you need a class- you always blow me away with your images. I find I crave them when I am in need of inspiration or a creative push or just want to lose my thoughts in something beautiful. Super big hugs my friend- think of you all the time.

Nice to see you Karli... many lovely shots!

Good luck with all those school schedules!

So happy to see you again!! Not that I haven't "talked" to you some this spring and summer... :)
Did you love the class? Was that the CM class you were telling me about?
Love these photos! Sounds like you had a busy summer!
