Jack's First Year!

Oh, where did the year go?
It is so hard to believe that our little man is turning one today.
It has been incredible getting to know him and seeing him grow.
There is a special connection between Jack and his sister- they simply adore each other!

He is the happiest baby and we are so blessed to have him in our lives!

Here's a quick look at Jack's first year...

I fell in love with him the moment I held him in my arms ♥

Snowy November

Who would have thought that we were going to have a white Thanksgiving? 

Mother Nature surprised us once again.

Hope you have a fun weekend!

Aleksandra, Part 1

She is smart and beautiful, funny and fun.
I first met Ola (short for Aleksandra in Polish) over a decade ago. Barely a teenager then, she grew up to be a strong and independent young woman.

We spent a cool fall afternoon in the park as she let me photograph her.
This is part one of our shoot. I cannot wait to share more very soon!

Autumn Afternoon

An impromptu trip to a park one autumn afternoon turned into a quick photo session with our little ones. It was so much fun watching them entertain each other, explore and play with all the colorful leaves.
And the weather was just perfect...

Sisters

On this sunny Sunday afternoon I met with Kate and her two adorable daughters, Annie and Molly. They were the winners of my first photography giveaway :-)
The girls were full of energy! There were cartwheels, jumping around, posing, and giggles mixed with lots of sisterly love.

Meet Molly and Annie!

Summer Fun at Brookhollow's Barnyard

The summer has been surprisingly comfortable this year.
So, when we were invited to join our friends and their children for a fun afternoon at Brookhollow's Barnyard, we did not think twice. 

From train and tractor ride, to two huge sandboxes filled with toys, a playhouse with a kitchen, and many farm animals to feed, it is a perfect place for the little ones to run around and play. 

It's our new favorite place to visit!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Father's Day!

Another year, another little one added to our bunch, and another reason to love my husband even more! He is the world's best dad! He amazes me every single day with the amount of love and patience he has for our children. Samantha absolutely adores him! And Jack always smiles when he sees him!

Happy Father's Day to the father of my children ;) and to all the dads, first-time dads and dads-to-be out there! Hope you all have a wonderful day! 

And a very Happy Father's Day to my Beloved Dad! Kocham Cię, Tato! 

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!

At The Farm

Everyday after her school Samantha visits the local farm. She loves feeding the goats and seeing how the bunny rabbits are doing. She runs around and explores.
The amount of energy this girl has is unbelievable!
