LOVE

Hi friends,

It's been awhile.

Life is busy and beautiful.

Just got back from a quick vacation last weekend where we went to visit a midwestern beach (Lake Michigan), took in a new national park (Indiana Dunes) and saw the city where I was born (Chicago).

Came home to a kid with a lice head and a sick dog.

Worth it, I guess. We did have a fabulous time and are so grateful to be home again.

This shot was my sweet Emily's idea (who is now almost 13!!!) and she chose to be her special letter E. The shot is also SOOC because I just don't have time to deal.

It took me 4 days to look at my photos finally!

Miss you all!

Your family has such fun together and you've captured so many of those times . . .

Just thinking of you and wondering how you've been. Miss seeing your photos.

@jyokota @cjphoto Working full time is kicking my booty. Just waaaay too much going on to keep up with photos:(. All good, though. Just crazy busy.
