“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
-John Steinbeck

Summer!
Many of you have already put your children on the bus to head back to school. While all the kids are writing essays for their teachers on their summer escapades...I thought it would be appropriate for me to do the same!
Now, I've seen you! I've followed your trips to Europe, to Alaska and my personal favorite...the beach! It looks like you all had marvelous summer breaks. However, there is no denying that our summer was one for the record books! On June 1st 2015 we welcomed our second son, Albion Boone Cross. Five weeks later we loaded up as a family of four and headed down to Nashville TN for Logan and Shannon's Wedding (July 11th) We had a brief two week breather and then it was Lucas and Ali's turn! (August 1st 2015)
Shoooo-weeee! What a whirlwind! My poor mother, right? We all managed and had a wonderful time. There was so much love and joy crammed into two short months!
Below is a highlight reel of the madness! Its a combination of iphone pictures, images from my "big camera" and a few from other photographers!
Enjoy!

Recovery was A LOT harder this time around. My body had a mind of its own and the first few days at home were very, very rough. I was very lucky to have a lot of help! Shortly after these photos were taken I landed myself back into the hospital. C-Section recovery is no joke!
Most of the month was a blur, but everyone stayed happy and heathy and soon it was time to head to Nashville!

Despite being two, Andrew was an AWESOME ring bearer! He really turned it on, and may have stolen the show! :)
August
Just a few days beforehand, my parents celebrated THIRTY YEARS of marriage! They are so happy and so in love! Its amazing what can happen when you put God and family first! Mom and Dad have truly set a great example for me and my brothers!
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
I hope you have enjoyed the inside scoop into what we've been up to!
Now that my maternity leave is officially over, I want you and your family in front of my camera! Fall Sessions are booking now and things are filling up fast! Schedule your session today!
