Tricia and her husband were blessed to have their three boys and their ladies, and the three grandsons join them for the week on Lake Leelanau for a family vacation together.

The Saunders family joined me for a fun day at the beach in Glen Arbor for some family photos.
Little-mister Brett turned ONE! I had a fun afternoon with this little doll and his parents! His mom made a gorgeous birthday sign for our photos. We discovered that grass is fun to eat, airplanes are in the sky, and water and sand feel great on toes.
You’ve seen my little buddy James as he’s grown over the last few years. He is kind of my spotlight kid. As a very little boy he has always had a “thing” about him. I think it is his eye contact, many children I photograph don’t engage with me the way this kid does. I will stand tall on the mountain tops and tell you loudly that this speaks to the kind of parents he has. Michele and Dave always get my vote for outstanding parenting.
James had a very special gift this past month. He is now a big brother to Grady. Welcome to the world, Grady! I am so excited to see these boys grow together!
Soooo . . . . let’s talk about Michele’s new “big girl chair”. She’s been wanting a new living room set for a while and I was so happy for her when I walked in and saw this fabulous chair and it’s matching accompaniments. It’s so grown up and refined – no more extra-soft dog-couch (like mine, lol). It is the best feeling to have a lovely living room to share with family and guests. But you see, I fear for the life of the new chair, living in the midst of two small boys! I do, however, wish I could hear the stories that chair will tell in 10 years. Stories of growing boys and a happy family!
I always love seeing the Herman family! I’ve gotten to see the girls grow from little girls to young ladies. Grandma and Grandpa are as spunky as ever and everyone seems to be happy and doing well! And Justine, let’s talk about this young man you have!! He seems like a great dude! Maybe we’ll see something shiny for your left hand in the future? LOL – no pressure!
Grandma bought a cute dress and nice shirt for these two fun kids to have photos on the beach with their parents. For the age gap between the two children, they were wonderful together! Total hams!!
My little buddy Blake really doesn’t understand what is coming his way VERY soon – – – a SISTER! He has had the unwavering attention of his wonderful parents for almost 2 years now. And I must mention that he might have turbo boosters in his shoes! He is a very happy (and speedy) little boy. I am so excited to meet little sister in the near future! I know she will be just as happy a little doll as her big brother!
We spent the afternoon with this fun bunch of kids. I love seeing all of the hope and excitement for what life brings in each of their faces!
This giant group of great folks came together from all over the country to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. I love seeing cousins and far-away siblings come together and enjoy each other like they have never had time apart.
Summer vacation at The Homestead means toes in the sand! This wonderful family had the resort beach to themselves for an evening on their summer vacation. The water was still a little chilly, but it sure feels good anyway!
