the weekend went by in a flash! we were so busy preparing for our open house sunday that it seems the weekend came and went. but sunday afternoon, we enjoyed a barbq in hyde park and monday was an awesome day with no computers, no cell phones … just us and the kiddies and cocktails outdoors with the neighbors later in the day. unfortunately, back to school and work today but the weather is still beautiful here!
brendan and pete put up our new flag yesterday, after a long explanation of why there were “kid’s flags next to all the statues in that park.” of course, brendan was asking about the cemetary. at first i kept things light but after many, many questions, i wanted him to know and understand more about the day and what it meant to families and our country. he got it! and he was so proud to have our new flag waving in honor of those who have fought for our country and our freedom yesterday.
this is about all i can catch of kyra lately:
and brendan is just too cool at age 5 to have his picture taken anymore *sigh*:
so it’s always so fun to photograph other people’s kids! like the lovely miss maggie:
and miss sally:
and, of course, after all the work i’ve done on the gardens preparing for the open house, i had to capture a bunch of these (but i’ll only show a couple so not to bore you!) 
stay tuned … in the editing queue, i’ve got a maternity session with a beautiful mama-to-be, one of the cutest newborns ever, preschool graduation, lots of pics coming of the kids since school will be out in a couple weeks, and i’m still plugging away at my new blog which i hope to reveal in early june!
happy unofficial start of summer everyone! 
Your kids have amazing eyes!
