summer photo session

It has turned hot in Iowa (we had a lovely June really).   I wanted to get Carolyn's senior photos this summer, so that we also could get a family photo. Unfortunately, Carolyn had her wisdom teeth removed so early this summer that we couldn't get it done before now.  I admit defeat though, because it will be too hot to do a big photo session before fall.   Therefore no big photo shoot with the whole family (as Matthew is out of pocket all fall due to marching band season at UI).

Therefore I decided to take some "mom" photos before things got tooooo hot this summer, so I might get something for a Christmas photo.  The "normal" photo didn't turn out as someone was blinking in every one, but I like some of these "blast to the past" photos.  (they make me so happy!!)

Rest in Peace Bri

Bri was our Foster dog of 2019, but she  was with us only a short time due to kidney disease.  Hope we made her last weeks a bit happier.

 Bri LOVED being outside - so much to see
