Even though I don\u2019t know them very well. My kids and Melissa\u2019s kids go to the same babysitter. My boys adore Damon and Damon is such a kind boy to Noah. I\u2019m sure Noah and Mattias adore Brooke too. But Brooke is a girl. And girls play with different things than boys. And so they don\u2019t really talk so much about Brooke.<\/p>\n<p>We tried to do this session before Christmas but the weather did not cooperate. Then Melissa was scheduled for a stem cell transplant and the recovery from that procedure plus chemotherapy is neither quick nor easy. A week prior to these photos, Melissa received the news that her lymphoma was gone!!! We thank God for this healing and continue to pray that the cancer stays away for good.<\/p>\n<p>I was thrilled to be able to take these photos with the knowledge of this good news.<\/p>\n<p>Truly a reason to jump for joy. I love how Damon is checking out his shadow moves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1425\" title=\"Aldergrove Family Photographer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3065(pp_w768_h512).jpg\" alt=\"Aldergrove Family Photographer\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3065.jpg 850w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3065-300x200.jpg 300w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3065-290x193.jpg 290w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3065%28pp_w480_h320%29.jpg 480w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3065%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/p>\n<p>Poor little Miss Brooke had blisters on her heels from those pretty shoes from all that running.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1426\" title=\"Aldergrove Family Photographer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3095(pp_w768_h512).jpg\" alt=\"Aldergrove Family Photographer\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3095.jpg 850w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3095-300x200.jpg 300w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3095%28pp_w480_h320%29.jpg 480w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3095%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/p>\n<p>I love hanging out with kids and seeing the things they discover and do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1428\" title=\"Aldergrove Family Photographer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3213(pp_w768_h512).jpg\" alt=\"Aldergrove Family Photographer\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3213.jpg 850w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3213-300x200.jpg 300w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/?pp_route=%2Fimage-resize&amp;path=L2hvbWUvZXZlcnRpbmEva2FyaW5sb3V3ZXJzZS5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMTEvMDUvTWVsaXNzYV9JTUdfMzIxMy5qcGc%3D&amp;template_id=c6231229-f1b0-4c4a-b606-72d1f865b774&amp;width=480 480w,http:\/\/www.karinlouwerse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Melissa_IMG_3213%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t Brooke adorable?
