{Marcus + Andrea + David}

Meet my brother and his beautiful family. You may recognize them from a few posts back about my whole family.  We had the pleasure of spending two glorious weeks with them before they head off to Colombia for their next big adventure! It was also the first time I was able to hold my sweet little nephew in my arms!  Thank God for FaceTime though, which I’m sure we will be using a lot of over the next year!

Aren’t they adorable?!

Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful mother! Thank you for all that you do for us but, most of all, for loving us unconditionally!

I don’t know what I would do without you!

{The Conant Family}

Meet the Conant Family.  My family away from family while growing up. They are the sweetest. most loving family.  All together from all over the globe for Thanksgiving, they decided it would be the perfect opportunity for some family photos.

Conant Family – It was such a treat to get to see all of you yesterday! 🙂  Hope you have safe trips home!

Thanks for looking!

{My Eli}

Three years old.  I cannot believe how fast the time has gone.  He is the one who made me a mom.  The one who continually teaches me about myself.  The one who really challenges me to be a better person.

We argue about who the “silliest goose” is.  We have tickle parties… lots of them.  We read.  Boy, do we read.  We make monsters.  We play with Play-doh.  He helps me bake and of course loves to lick the beaters… and eat dough by the spoonful! He tells me that I’m his girl and that I’m the best girl in the world.  I tell him the same, of course.  He wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. He knows how to tease and is such an amazing big brother. He loves his daddy and always wants to be just like him – a great aspiration, if you ask me!

Andy and I try so hard to hold on to every single moment, cherishing the time with which we have been so graciously blessed.

Happy Third Birthday to my sweet, sweet Eli.  I sure do love you, buddy!

Thanks for looking!

{The Taplin Family – ’12)

Meet the Taplin Family.  You may remember them from our first shoot when they visited 2 years ago.  It was good to see them again and be able to spend an evening together!  Poor little Tobi was feeling under the weather but was still so cooperative!

Taplins – we had a great time, as always!  Hope you did too 🙂 Can’t wait till you move here 😉
