My cousin Stephanie has been here and gone but I am so thankful for the moments we spent together.  I remember 18 like it was yesterday and it's hard to believe I am now almost twice her age!!  Of course she had some eye opening moments of her own as she integrated into our life.  With children there are such sweet moments...THEN there are the moments of tantrums, attitudes and of course tears...tears over not sure what.  Maybe that's not kids...maybe that's just girls...women! 

So what do we do - we take all the estrogen and have Bob photograph us "women"!!  We TRIED to get the girls to sit and look normal...ya right...so instead we had Bob make them run to blow off steam only to come back and smother us with kisses.  Hey whatever works to get 'the shot'...I have to say I love the photos of my girls kissing my cheek...usually they are being such smarty pants it's hard to get a sincere kiss!

Although we ended up with yellow dandelion 'stuff'' all over our hands and faces and had a few moments that honestly should not be relived, it's all part of photographing kids and making memories with family.  I am so thankful for my Canadian family and miss them terribly.  I grew up only a mile from my aunts and uncles...now seeing them once a year hardly seems enough!

Thanks Steph for your visit...until next time!!!!!!!!
