Breakfast drink for Daddy, thank you Nina!

Nina – *WATCH THOSE HANDS, MISTER.* See this image larger.

Ian’s class went to Meijer Gardens to see the butterflies, so here we are!

Ian’s trying to tickle her and smile at the same time, doesn’t always work. See this image larger.

This, on the other hand, is probably one of my favorite shots of all time. Look at those faces! Look at the perfectly centered wings and antennae on Nina’s head! Awesome! See this image larger.

Just a quick shot, looking down at her, she looked so happy.

Waited for her to see herself, and then came the smile! See this image larger.
