and when the sun was just about to fade away, everyone settled and quieted on the beach. even the boogie boarders and surfers in the lake paused and faced the sinking ball of fire to admire the awe and beauty of it all.

and daughter. she wouldn't take no for an answer...

when i asked heather to sit down, harper plopped herself right next to her. she was dressed so appropriately for a photo session, too. jammie top and cropped sweats...
Photobucket

here's what my little family did while i was shooting. you're not a man unless you bjorn your baby, that's what i always say.

and then harper jumped right in, quite literally. technically, she is part of the family...

they were cracking up trying to time their jumps. "do we jump on the count of 2 or 3?"

Photobucket

griffin busts out the laughs, ethan at least tries to keep it together...
Photobucket

i can't even remember what i instructed them to do here, but they obviously weren't listening, or else they took it quite literally...
Photobucket

and when all was said and done and i called it a wrap...
ethan: mom, can we go in the water?
Photobucket

griffin: yeah, can we?

Photobucket

griffin: did she really just say that we could go in with our clothes on?

Photobucket

heather: here, emily, get a picture of us. wait, let me fix my hair.

Photobucket

and the boys couldn't resist the waves...

one last pose for the camera. they don't notice the impending wave...

Photobucket

and BAM. now it's officially a wrap.

love you guys. xoxo
