It’s baby season…and we couldn’t be happier! Plenty of newborn love to go around lately, and more to come. 🙂 Collyns was one of our newborns just 19 months ago, and we’re so pleased she came back with little brother Hawkins so we could meet him, and see what a beautiful little girl she is growing into! She likes to sing songs, play games, and give “supervised” loves to her baby brother. Mommy and Daddy are doing great with two little ones, they have just the right touch!
Large groups are a privilege, when they are as pleasant and cooperative as this one! This picture represents 4 generations. It is so special to see families get together, and to see the bond that they share. Taking time for family portraits (on graduation weekend!) wasn’t easy, but I know we all agree it was worth the effort. Thanks for including me in this special occasion! 🙂
What do you do with a not-quite one year old who’s been walking since he was 8 months old?? You follow him around! On the run. You make noises. Silly faces. Sing songs. Mommy and Daddy wave their arms and jump up and down. And in the end, you say, whew! That was a lot of work, but it was worth it! Their expressions are fleeting but priceless, their attention span is short, but oh, so focused. Cherish this “soon-to-be-one” age, it’s moving by as quickly as they are!
And Boden is one! How did he go from such a “small fry” to the “big ONE” in such a short time? Yep, Mommy and Daddy are still fishing enthusiasts, and threw a colorful fish themed birthday party for him on his first birthday. This little guy is on the move, but had no trouble staying in place once he was presented with his very own cake! I think the grown-ups were as thrilled with the cake smash as Boden was, but he was the only one with a sugar rush. 😉
There can be great beauty portrayed in sorrow…although Kayla’s unborn baby is destined not to live, she wanted to document her pregnancy and preserve memories of this little life. Kayla was determined not to cry, and she kept her word, however, the rest of us didn’t do so well! It was wonderful and beautiful to see the caring support she has from her family and how loved this child is.
