My cousin and his wife had their baby while I was in Ontario visiting.  So I had the pleasure of photographing my first newborn!!  Woot Woot…thanks for being 2 weeks early 

Baby Joey was only 5 days old when I took these photos.  Aren’t newborns supposed to sleep all the time?!  Not this little guy…he totally wanted to work the camera instead of napping.  Welcome to the family little one.

Joe & Tracey…welcome to the wonderful world of Parenthood!

My mother loves to tell the story how I was missing for over an hour as a small child at my dad’s shop, and that they had to get the whole body shop looking for me.  I used to love climbing up into the back cabs of the transport trucks and explore…this particular time I ended up curling up and took a nap…oops.  I have fond memories of hanging out at Brockley Truck.   Now that my son is a bit older we decided it would be fun to take him to Neutzie’s (grandfather in Italian is Nonno…long story how it became Neutzie)…anyways…Max and my neice Angela had an absolute riot climbing into all the trucks and cars.  Here are a few photos of them exploring…

Then the sun peeked out and turned into a really nice day so we decided to take the kids to the beach to ride their new scooters.  It was nice to get out for a walk and some fresh air.

Here are just a few photos of our trip to Ridgeway, Ontario… I promise to do a better job in the last week that I am here … lol!  Stay tuned for an exciting contest that I am about to launch in the next few days …

This is our friend’s gorgeous 10 month old baby…Edan.  Look at these eyes…my goodness!

My husband Mike and his friend Chris grew up together in Brockville, Ontario.  I have been married to Mike for 10 years and have noticed that these two men cannot be together without talking about fishing…going fishing…talking about past fishing experiences…planning fishing trips…eatting fish…etc.  :).  So, it was not a surprise when they suggested we go fishing at Sherkston Shores…my son was extremely excited! 

Looks like it’s going to be chicken for dinner

It was a great day getting caught up with a dear dear friend, and especially lovely to finally meet Melanie who Chris will marry in August.   It felt like we have known each other for years!  I love it when that happens

here’s the photo of Edan in black and white too…I couldn’t decide which one I liked better…

Well my son and I were in Ontario for our great pumpkin search this year. My sister found the most amazing pumpkin patch with all kinds of mazes, rides, bikes, tractor rides, bouncey castle, etc. for the kids. What a wonderful day had by all.

Happy Halloween … don’t forget to brush those sugar bugs out!
