What September looked like » Langley Lifestyle Photographer

September. It brought a new phase to our lives: school for Noah. While he was not having anything to do with posing for the ‘first day of school’ photos, he was pretty excited to be in Kindergarten.

Typical Noah face with his lips overlapping.

In the classroom, in front of his locker. Of course, brother M needs to hop in the photo.

In his comfort zone. Playing with familiar faces. Playing with stuff he can build.

The walk to the first assembly with their class.

One week of school and we took off to Osoyoos for our annual September vacation. It worked out that Noah would only miss 1 day of school.

Pretty Osoyoos.

This year we spent a ton of time on the bikes with the kids.

4 cousins.

Mattias and Noah wanted to join the other Louwerse family!

I adore these next 2 photos. Thanks to my SIL for taking the photos. Me and my men!

And I love this one of Harold & Alicia and family. I quite like the desert landscape there.

Noah is always bouncing or running somewhere…

Mattias didn’t leave the hot tub. It was fine by us because for some reason the hot tub or Osoyoos or something-while-we-are-there clears up his eczema. I had been looking forward to his eczema clearing up since the spring.

Noah enjoyed swimming at the pool.

Evening bike rides that caused heart palpitations for us moms. These kids were fast and fearless. Especially near traffic. Or at least, that’s the way it seemed.

Matching run bikes!

We decided to replace our driveway with asphalt and make it larger.

View down the road.

3 hours later, they had finished paving.

James. 2 months old. On the awesome quilt that my MIL made for him. Thank you Pinterest for the inspiration. And thanks to my MIL for being up for making this and figuring out all the measurements. Apparently, not exactly a beginners quilt.

Days when Noah is at school are quiet and relaxing.

Don’t mind the embarrassing coffee table. It’s shabby and definitely NOT chic. I’m thinking of either painting it (brown – the same, turquoise or yellow) or attempting a potentially tragic Pinterest makeover. Really, I would like some input. Please.

Concentrating so hard on writing his name.

Noah is somewhere behind me or Art.

First time in the jolly jumper.

He’s so little yet. But he loved it.

Crazy beautiful location. Perfect location for family portraits in South Surrey area!!! (hint hint). We went for a walk with family there.

It was kind of perfect weather, so I was thrilled to take photos.

Everyone wants to hold James.

Except Mattias.

5 cousins.

Of course, I needed family photos of us. Really anyone I hang out with at some point is asked to take photos of us as family!

Haha! This is so typical! And look at that stinker’s face.

That was September 2012!
