Zachary 

Wow, how time flies.

3 years ago I was able to take pictures of this little man for the first time.

He was turning 3 and was afraid of the camera.

My husband chased him around lake county fair grounds, threw rocks with him, and played many games as I clicked away.

You could hear him laughing and squealing the whole time. The pictures were amazing and the memories even better.

Now, we fast forward to the warmest February we have had in a long time and he played and laughed as we continue the fun.

He has grown so much! 

He had a million questions and his personality now shines through. Let me tell you there was not a question that he didn't ask. 

The one thing he did tell us was that he wanted to see T Rex at the cupcake store. His memory is impeccable.

This is Zachary giving us the best T Rex face with his friend in the back ground.

We walked through downtown Valparaiso and took full advantage of such a beautiful day.

I can not get past his eyes. One day they might get him in a lot of trouble or out of trouble. lol

His sister gave us a full dance recital on the stage.

I found myself smiling and wondering where she will be in 10 years?

Heel toe, heal toe, twirl

Then had to remind myself that when I am smiling the camera smiles too!!

She will one day grow up to be just like her mom with a beautiful voice and not afraid to be on stage. 

They make me smile!! 

Make sure to tell Zachary how cool those shoes were. He was so proud of them.

Matter of fact that was the first thing he said when he saw Harry and myself...

"Look how cool these shoes are"!

The next picture has a story behind it and will always make me think.

Zachary said, "can I smile like this?

Its how my dad smiles."

I said, "Of course you can,"

This picture has become one of my favorite picture. 

Not only for the smirk he gave me but how much he loves his family!!

Memories are not only for the clients but for my husband and myself!

We raise our kids to be smart and happy but knowing even when we think they are not watching they see everything we do!!

Love this family!! 

Happy birthday Zachary!
