monday at the madhouse // weekend in kansas

01smMan, we are exhausted over here in Plesserville. After we returned from the cabin last week, we had one day at home (in which I got seriously sick) and then we flew down to Kansas to spend some time with my Mom (and many other relatives) over the weekend. Above is my wonderful Uncle Chris who came in from Boston. He's trying to teach Ezra how to walk :)Chris is a jazz pianist, and he played for Ezra, which was a highlight. I can't wait for Ezra to get older and truly appreciate how great it is to have a musician in the family.05smWe also spent some time at the hotel pool. You guys, it was actually cooler in Wichita than it was in Minneapolis this weekend. CRAZY! And the hotel we stayed at had an amazing pool, and we were the only ones there. It was really nice. Above is a shot Jamie took of Ezra and I in the water (Ez loves to remove any kind of eyewear you might have on). Below is Ezra hanging out poolside with my mom.04sm 03smThis is my Uncle Chris and his wife Lynn (who was featured last Friday) along with my grandmother. I try not to put too many posed images on the blog, but I really like this one.02smThis is my grandmother playing ball with Ezra. I love how much these two like each other.06smThis is my Aunt Laurie from Oklahoma who came all the way to meet Ezra! It was great to see her.07smAnd I love this image of my mom and my brother. I think this is the happiest shot I got of mom all weekend. I'm not gonna lie, the health issues she is facing makes these visits really hard, but I'm glad I went.And now we are back home with our sweet Magda, who we missed dearly. I have a crazy week ahead (three shoots, a wedding and a block party), but soon? Soon Jamie and I will VEG OUT. And that will be a great day.
