We were able to make a visit to the Madison zoo on one of the very last decent days of the season. Grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, and cousins were all able to join with us. The animals were great, but one of the best features … Read More →

Her First Day
It’s hard to believe that Elisabeth has been in school for a couple of months already. Here she is on her first day, flanked by her younger brother and sister. They may have been just as excited as she was on that morning.

Cake and Gifts
I was able to capture a rare moment with Stephen, his new excavator, dump truck, and dump truck birthday cake yesterday. He had fun with family turning 4. As you can see, Elisabeth was trying her best to distract him from his pose, but he … Read More →
