If you look back to my blog entry for July 18th, 2009 titled “He’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Baby”, you will see the maternity session for this little family.  I just KNEW he was going to be a doll!!!  I got to meet him this morning.  Sean Alexander.  He is the sweetest most handsome little man!!  I could have just snuggled him and brought him home with me. :)   Although, by the looks of things, his Mommy and Daddy are pretty crazy about him and I don’t think they would have allowed me out the door with him.

I had a hard time picking my favorites to blog, so there are quite a few.  He’s just too precious not to share.

Mark, Becky, Neala…congrats on your precious new addition to your family!!!

The past week we spent some time up north in Door County.  We needed some time away to just enjoy each other as a family.  We started out the 1st two nights tent camping in Egg Harbor.  We spent the 1st day settling in.  We cooked all of our meals & snacks over the camp fire!  SOOO much fun!!   The 1st night it rained, it was windy and bitterly cold to be outside in a tent.  The 2nd day we spent shopping and spending more time around the campfire.  That night was the coldest night, yet.  It was mid 40’s, but we got smart & bought a couple of  30° rated sleeping bags.  We were all snug as a bug in a rug.  Our 3rd day there we biked Penninsula State Park.  Chris, the hubby, had Caleb, our 6 yr old, on a tagalong behind his bike. I had Claira, our 16 month old, in a buggy behind my bike.  9+ miles of biking and a couple of sore hinies later we were ready to move on to our cozy little room.  The last 2 nights we stayed at the Inn at Little Sister Hill where we had a 2 br loft suite.  We spent the remainder of our time in the heated pool, on the beach, fishing and enjoying each other.  Along the way we indulged in many delish door county treats. Yum!

Here are a few pictures from our little getaway.
