I love this picture!

Here we are, our new family of 4, on a family vacation. This is the only picture of the 4 of us we remembered to take. Our son is just over 3 and daughter 3 months. He's a blur from trying to escape the obligatory picture and she's just telling the world it's past 5pm. We weren't going canoeing with the intent of making lasting memories. We were surviving. You see, our sweet daughter would fall asleep somewhere in the middle of the lake to the sound of her echoes and if we were lucky we might of been able to transfer her out of the canoe without waking. 
This was OUR REAL LIFE that summer. Barely hanging on but bound together. I know it's not perfectly posed or focused but I will always cherish this picture <3
