Mom's new camera!

I just took the plunge and bought at digital SLR camera in hopes of fine tuning my photography skills. Madeline of course will be a common subject, so here she is the first morning the camera was out of the box and battery was charged.
What a goof!








Morton Arboretum

The Arboretum has become one of our favorite places to meet up with playgroup friends, Ella and Erin. The girls love playing in the fountains, and moms love to chat about the latest challenges!


Sharing pretzels with Ella


Typical Weekend

Here's Madeline and Dad doing their typical Saturday/Sunday morning routine... making breakfast! Today it was french toast, but pancakes are our usual fare.


Summer Fun

Madeline's first swim of the summer with our next-door-neighbor, Cooper.


Laura and Hunter's Wedding

Finally! I'm getting pictures of Laura's wedding posted here. These are just a few of the pictures I got from my camera, and unfortunately with both Madeline and me feeling under the weather that day, this is the only picture I got of Dan and me. He wasn't standing up, but bought himself a spiffy tie and handkerchief that went perfectly with my bridesmaid dress.
The reception was marvelous! Yummy food, beautiful surroundings, and just as we arrived a monsoon hit outside.

The Schmitt/Murray gang. Doesn't everyone look nice?

The happy couple!




Madeline and her favorite "Uh Maat" (Uncle Mark). We didn't get many smiles from her that day as she was running a fever, fighting an ear infection, and had nasty sores in her mouth. What a pretty girl, nonetheless.
