There are so many reasons why I love this kid. He’s got the quirkiest personality, and his imagination and creativity makes me wild with pride. We took these photos in a quaint little artsy town near our home for his six year old shoot. 

from a recent shoot with the Jake man.

i love evenings like last night, where we hung out on our little spot on the island. i read a book, michael listened to his ipod, and jake played in the sand. for an hour, i forgot i was at work all day, and that i had to go back the next. it’s a little slice of heaven.

Here are a couple more photos from the recital…

one more practice at our house

playing at the recital with Miss Brandie

you can’t see it on the video, but Jake gave the crowd a huge wink after finishing his second song. it was such a hit, he followed it with another.

hamming it up afterward.

you know you want to see them. well, maybe not so much. but i’ll share just one for now from the 2 GB memory card that begs for my love.

after a long afternoon of riding his dirtbike after school, this kid can fall asleep anywhere.

the boys let me snap a quick photo when we went to see Horton this weekend.
