Random September captures...

I had to do a self portrait for a photography board I'm on, and these are what I came up with, I put up a black blanket behind me, set the timer, and this is what I got...

My sweet Lexi girl, enjoying a BIG ice cream cone!

I love Miss Olivia in this hat....

Although she prefers to take it off, and runs away before I can get it back on her!

The end of summer...

We headed to the beach late yesterday afternoon. It was a gorgeous day, hot and humid, and I'm sure its to be one of the last hot weekends of the season. We played on the beach for a bit, had some fun in the arcade, and left after we had some fried dough and pizza.

There was a storm brewing to the West of us, that we could see...we could see the dark clouds and the long flashes of lightning, which was worrying Miss Lexi!

Olivia had a tough time walking in the sand, and preferred to crawl once she lost her balance...

Whitney's wedding!

Whitney and Scott got married last Saturday.....and even though I was a bridesmaid, I still managed to take a ton of pictures. The photographer was WONDERFUL, and let me tag around alongside him, giving me pointers here and there. I've got about 300 pictures to go through, but here are some for now!

The hair preparation...

The make-up preparation...

A few pictures from Mom and Dad's house....

The Tewksbury Country Club is absolutely beautiful....

Here are a couple from inside the reception....

Good luck....and a HAPPY......LONG.....PROSPEROUS...marriage for you both, Whitney and Scott!

First day of school!

Lexi had her first day of school yesterday....though it was supposed to be last Wednesday. She was THRILLED to be going, though the doctor told her 'no recess, and no P.E.' for the week. Olivia sobbed hysterically when Lexi got on the bus......and was giddy with excitement when the bus came in the afternoon with her Lexi girl.

She's showing off her new Pokemon 'Pichu' lunchbox!

Here's to a WONDERFUL....HEALTHY....HAPPY....school year ahead!!

And last night we were hanging out outside, playing and relaxing after Lexi's long awaited first day!
