A sneak peek for Miss A’s mom who is waiting patiently!

Miss A turned one a week ago Sunday and I was lucky enough to attend her birthday bash. It was the perfect day for a pool party, very warm and sunny, and the party was packed with people of all ages. After swimming, there was food from the grill, cake, presents to open and a trip to the Stillwater Marina to check out the boat. I suspect Miss A slept well that night.

A belated Happy Fourth courtesy of the Stillwater, MN fireworks. They did a great display, complete with firing of cannons. It seemed like most of Minnesota was there and had arrived earlier than our “let’s get there early!” but we were able to secure a pretty good vantage point down near the water anyway.

Giving some thought to attending the fireworks in Hudson tonight. There’s no such thing as too many fireworks, is there?

A quick sneak peek for Miss Madeline’s parents as I promised them one by today!

Doesn’t she have gorgeous eyes?

I met this little lady’s father via Flickr as he’s also a photographer. I’ve found that it’s equal parts flattering and nervewracking to have another photographer ask you to photograph their family. But I met them yesterday morning and we had a good time trekking around Stillwater.

First to a few parks…

And then for some “lunch.” (I’m not sure I can think of a better way to celebrate the official first day of summer.)

And then for some fountain watching…

I don’t know about little M but this M needed a nap after all that! Thanks for sharing your family with me, Dave.
