Forest Grove

Oh, what a wonderful time we had visiting our friends in Oregon. I had a terrific time with my best friend from college and her family. Of course, I had to pull out my camera. Her girls were so excited! Was I this self-assured at twelve? Surely not.

Mother & Daughter

I can't imagine that Ava will ever be this age where we will sit together for a mother-daughter portrait. There is such a strong resemblance between Amy and Lauren. I wonder if there will be any between us when Ava is 12?

Each time we visit our friends in Oregon we stop by this local winery...it is such a beautiful location to spend some time...and the wine isn't bad either. We took the time to get a family photo...it seems I rarely have the camera pointed at me these days, but I can't forget to get these photos of our whole family.

Chasing Ava

Not often does it seem that I can get Ava's attention when taking her picture these days....this is a rare straight on stare down from my little one.
