Time is seriously flying this summer!  It feels like last week that I got the text that Evan arrived. and here we are six months later with this handsome little man.  It has been so fun seeing Evan learn to explore and become even more alert to his surroundings.  Erica and Greg are such great parents, they are so go with the flow and up for anything.  I can't wait to see this little guy again soon! 

It's tough to call it a summer vacation when we are technically on vacation from work all summer (teacher life.) But, we decided to change up our annual trip to Virginia and add in a stop to Jacksonville, Florida to see more of Joe's family.  Traveling with a 20 month old is no easy task.  Not just the excess gear we bring (really I'm not sure how a toddler packs more than two adults) but the long drive, 8 hours to Rocky Mount and then another 8 hours to Jacksonville.  We tried to break the trip up but with Colton sick we trekked on.  It was rough, but once we brought Colton to the children's hospital of Jacksonville and got his medicine straightened out, it was pretty much smooth sailing the remainder of the trip.  Here are a few favorites of our time down south.

Colton gets to be a super outdoorsy kid down at mom-mom and pop-pop's!

We made it to Jacksonville!

Joe and I had the opportunity to get away for a bit and headed down to St. Augustine for a few days!

Lastly, we got to spend time with our first baby, Tebow.  Tebow has been spending time with Joe's parents in Virginia while we are trying to find a new house in north Jersey.  We miss him tons but he has lots of love there! 

Thank you all for taking a sneak peek into life away (but not really) from behind the camera!

When I met Brett while teaching this past year, we instantly connected.  We were both new to the school, had taught in inner-city schools, lived in pretty much the same places at different times, and lastly, had two little ones the same age.  When Brett told me that all she wanted for her birthday this summer was a session with me, I was so excited.  Her family is adorable and Leah really steals the show.  Thank you guys for being such troopers on a muggy August day!
