And Then We Snapped - Week #34

This was a fun week! Piper turned five and now has a big girl bike. I also took a trip to Minneapolis for a couple engagement sessions. Here are my favorite photos from each day.

"I wish I was a picture frame
The kind that you can get engraved
One that says 'I love you Jill'
One that says 'I miss you Jane'
Now I know you won't get scratched
Underneath a pane of glass
I wanna be a picture frame
I wanna be a photograph"
-Rabbit!
