Needless to say, I had the BEST time with 10 wonderful families! To top it off, since this was also a charity promotion, this means that 10 sessions (by yours truly) have now been donated to the Male Involvement Project of the Dane County Parent Council. I can’t WAIT to meet these wonderful families as well ;)

Since I took a zillion images and I have only so much room, here is a mini sample. If you click on the little hearts to the left, that will direct you to my Facebook Business Page where you can see more!

Regardless, I just ADORE the last image of them. Thanks guys!

Annika was insistent that she be able to hop on the pony. Mommy was insistent (of course) that she get some pictures. Mommy was also thrilled to discover that young child on pony = no running away from photos. YAY!

This pose was all Annika’s idea …

Go to Mt. Rushmore! Since my husband is from South Dakota, I always relied on his opinion that it “wasn’t that much to see”. Well I am here to state that he was dead WRONG. We had the best time! It was so worth the extra driving we had to do to get to it. Even the little ones were fascinated. . .

Mt. Rushmore and my kids...




Rya…my budding little photographer ;)

and the part that freaks me out about her being a “budding little photographer”…the attempts at photographing mommy…fortunately the photo from the other end is nowhere to be found! Huh…wonder how that happened?

We all got jacked up on caffeine, had some great food, great conversation, and watched our kids play with each other. That ended up being Zebby irritating his sister and making her cry (thus needing her mommy), Annika adopting another family in the store and playing a rousing game of Memory with them, and Rowan doing what Rowan’s do best….Eat! I will have to admit that I totally MISS Ancora coffee in Fitchburg. They have this yogurt and granola breakfast that is to DIE for! I will also have to admit that their coffee is pretty darn great as well :)

coffee with the anderson's....

On a side note…to get rid of the 7 million spam comments I had in my account, I inadvertently had to delete all comments. Okay, I will admit it, it wasn’t me…it was my computer geek. ;) It was a ton of comments and I am so sad to see them gone from my blog, but so thankful to all that took the time to comment. From now on, however, comments work.
