a visit with the NC grandparents

so, i haven't had any shoots for a while, but i did take my camera to raleigh in may and june when we went down for weddings and baby showers and whatnot. so of course i have some pictures of my son and nephew to share... it's taken me a while to get my act together for a blog post, but here are some images from the personal side of our trips down to NC! the first few shots are from a quick walk in our neighborhood down to silver lake right by our neighborhood, where a resident swan came to see us.also, i messed up my watermark file and while it would have been simple to recreate it, i thought i would try something a little different...

here, my son fell asleep during a day-long cooking extravaganza i conducted with two friends - pictures of THAT to come in a future post!

and here's a little series showing the progress of a fight between my son and nephew over the blue car-carrier truck... with my brother completely knocked out on the couch the whole time...
