I decided to steam clean the carpets the other day. We emptied the room of all the furniture. After the carpet dried I thought it was the perfect time for an updated stair step photo. Anna wasn't too into it. She was a little confused by it all. It's the last day of the month, so I had to add one last photo. Now I can say that I finished a 30 31 day photo challenge. Yay!
Day 31: Photo of your choice (I added this because there wasn't a day 31.)
Look at that innocent little face. We were messing around last night and she was running right up to me and the camera. It was so cute. It's almost like she trying really hard not to smile because right after I shot this she burst out laughing.
This is Anna, the baby of the family. She can almost always be found with this pink blanket along with this look on her face because she is sucking on her tongue or bottom lip. I can't tell for sure what she actually sucking on, but it causes her to look like she's frowning which I think is adorable. We usually try and keep her blanket in her crib, but during the day she will disappear only to be found in her room getting her blanket out of her crib. I think she could be Linus' sister. Earlier this spring while were were at the zoo this little monkey kept following our every move. The kids would run one direction and he would jump around and follow. It was pretty fun.
Last year on our trip to South Dakota we stopped at a park in Pierre just as the sun was setting. It's my favorite time of day to shoot photographs. The light is beautiful and capturing sun flare is easy. 
I love the hands of little people. They are so petite with a little bit of chub to them. Elizabeth often feels the need to take care of her baby sister.We just finished up a week of Vacation Bible School at church. While we had so much fun and made some new friends it sure was exhausting. Friday was a great day to come home, relax, and drink margaritas!
We have carrots growing like weeds in the garden at our church as well as a little strip in our front yard. The kids just love being able to run out to the garden and pick a little snack out. This works well for me too because it's a healthy snack and I'll let them eat as many as they want.
As the sun was setting I captured this fun silhouette shot. This was taken last year on the 4th of July while we were in South Dakota. Good times.
The last week or so we have been sunset-less. Instead we've had violent, crazy storms in the late evenings and at night. Last night I swear our house was about to be struck by lightning. The thunder was so loud it shook our house. Our garden looks like a tornado went through and drowned it. So, for Day 12 which calls for a sunset, I bring to you a sunset from last year on our drive out to South Dakota. Pretty, isn't it? Last summer we had a blast with family in South Dakota. The kids ask when we can go back again. With all the humidity we've had lately, I almost feel like we are in SD, except for the fact that we're in the city.
