Day at the Beach

Every week, we do family date night with my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, Carly, my brother-in-law, Luke, and their baby, Ruby. It's a grand event. It's mostly just food, talking, and great television. But, in the summer, when the television is not so great, and the weather is glorious, we let ourselves switch it up every now and then.

This week we switched it up by going to the Secret Beach. Now, I don't believe this is the beach's technical name, it is just what we have come to call if over the years. It's a real cute place, tucked away, and there's maybe 30 or 40 people there on a busy day--definitely our style.

So, we packed it up, and headed out. And I decided we need to capture some of these moments; such as Ruby, ultra-enthused to be in her carrier.

My fantastic mother-in-law. A girl couldn't ask for one better. I am so blessed!
Ruby loves her Granny (you can tell because she has her tongue out, she does that when she's happy).

The O'Dells. This is an accurate depiction of our time together.
And we'll wrap it up with one of my favorites.

Just because :: Puppies!

Who doesn't love a puppy?! I mean, seriously, even cat-people have to admit that puppies are the cutest. So by all means, I will make time for a puppy. It's a must.

Murphy's pup Maybe just had some of her own. And man, they topped the charts in the cute department. They were so cuddly and love-able. And if the oogling wasn't at its max yet, the cutest boys, Mason and Tyler, had to come over and play with them. Ugh, it was just too adorable.

All in all, a great time that left me wanting another puppy. But, until then, I get to look at these cute pups. And yes, this may look like an 8 year old girl's calendar, but I hardly care... they're puppies!!!

1st Birthday :: Gavin

Last year this time I was on constant phone watch. I kept it by my bed, in my pocket, on my desk, volume full-blast, constantly charged. I was waiting for a very special call. Patrick still makes fun of the way I would jump out of bed if I heard a ding or a ring. It was 24-hour awareness.

Why all the over-attachment to my telephone? Because we were thousands of miles away from one of my very best friends, Brook, was 9 months pregnant for her first baby. This little bean, as we lovingly called him for those precious months in her belly, had a piece of my heart from the very beginning. And words can't even described how happy I was when I got that call that he was here! Even though we couldn't be there, it was still such an important day for us.

Brook and Aaron, it has been one of the greatest joys to watch Gavin grow this last year--to see him figure out crawling, eating, walking, sharing, singing, dancing--words can't describe how grateful we are to be a part of his life. We are so excited for G-baby's 1st birthday! So, I hope you enjoy!

We'll start you off with one of my favorites.

Gavin, you melt my heart.Brook had the cutest things for Gavin to play with, one of my favorites being the sock monkey.
Great shot from Patrick.
Could they be a more attractive family? I think not.

The Boes Family

It all began last fall when Patrick and I moved back to Grand Rapids. Neither of us had landed jobs yet, and it just so happened that my sister-in-law knew someone who needed a babysitter. (Yes, at the age of 22, I'm still considered a babysitter.) Being that I do enjoy hanging out with kids, and that we were quite strapped for cash, I signed up to watch her friend's kid. Who could've guessed that it was the beginning to something quite magnificent?

Since September, I've watched Callan on a somewhat consistent basis. Currently I get to spend 3 days a week with him, and just love the time we have together. When his mom asked if I'd be interested in taking some family photos, I was more than honored! I love that both my jobs allow me to be so close to so many wonderful families! And it was fun to combine the two!

So sit back and enjoy some shots from my day with the Boes family!

We started out by the Ford museum. Who knew a dead branch could be so fun?
Benny and Elise always dress Callan in the cutest Paul Frank apparel. I adore the little skull t-shirt he was wearing. Then we headed over by the blue walking bridge/the Van Andel museum. It's just so beautiful over there!

And there's always time for some fun with bubbles!
