The Last of the Autumn Sunshine

although it is more like winter these days than fall {ugh} i am still hanging on.

fall leaf wreath still hanging on the door, mini pumpkins and those orange Japanese lantern flowers as a centrepiece {intermingled with an ever changing array of dinkies and zippy cups},

and one last can of pumpkin in the cupboard, destined for sugary pumpkiny greatness...

and the pictures! oh the beautiful pictures,

full of gorgeous children doing fabulous fall things...

oh autumn, please don't go.

though my participation in this blog is sparse these days, i am trying not to give up completely!

i have been deliriously happily swamped with photography clients,

and only have so much screen time to give!

if you want to see what has been stealing me away from you go HERE!

Seafoam Style

Some photos from our recent trip up to Seafoam, Nova Scotia on the Northumberland Straight.

And by recent I mean a few weeks ago. Whatever, at the speed this blog moves this is mega quick:)

Down on the Farm

After a busy busy few months, we finally managed to escape for a summer family vacation, in September.

We might not have gone swimming or picnicked beneath a tree,

but hanging with the cows on our friends farm on a crisp september afternoon beat the crowds on the beach any day:)

Thank you Laura and Denise!

Beach Bummin' It

....at long last....

 the fact that i managed to drag a toddler, baby, and dog all the way back to the beach

- on foot might i add - is a feat all in itself.

that the sun was shining, the tide was low, and the beach was sandy

is a beautiful gift from mother nature.

and that nobody - myself included - had a major meltdown

is simply a miracle.

makes me almost think i am kicking the crap out of this 2 kid thing.

but i'm sure at some point tomorrow someone small will prove me wrong : )

A Day at the Diner

Weekend brunch at the Finer Diner : )

Jake drank the milkers, with the exception of one photo Emmitt maintained his m.o. and slept,

 and after a long 9+ months Eggs Benedict and I were joyously reunited.

And we ate pie. Really really really good pie.

Life. Is. Good.
