 Aside from dropping my phone into about 6″ of pool water on Saturday and having to buy a new one, it was a pretty great weekend!  We started off with a cookout at our friends’ house, had a fun pool day (minus the phone issue), and went back to The Painted Pin on Saturday night for our friend Casey’s 30th birthday. I really enjoy PP because it combines a lot of fun things — games, good food and drinks, and fun times for friends. And did you see those waffle dogs?! Our friend Rachel insisted on ordering them before we left, and I’m so glad she did. I love a good corn dog, but mix that with waffle batter, and you have a big winner.

Sunday, I had the honor of photographing the sweetest five day old little lady, Emmy. It’s absolutely amazing how tiny a brand new baby is, and it was a lot of fun seeing her big brothers sing to her and hold her during our session. We also managed to squeeze in a birthday party for a certain little 6 year old lady bug girl (my cousin’s daughter). The party included hot pink birthday cake, lots of play makeup and jewelry, and some nice time visiting with family. Can’t ask for a better way to end the weekend!
