Most of you know how much I love this family, so it will come as no surprise to you that I had a blast hanging out with them and taking some family photos for them!  I think they may have had as much fun as I did, too.  :)  

I can't believe I'm so behind on blogging!  This family welcomed a little sister to their crew back in December.  It was a fast, hold-on-for-dear-life, kind of delivery.  The midwives arrived just a few minutes before baby!  Despite the quick arrival, the welcoming of this new soul was slow, sweet, and peaceful.   But I'll let you see that for yourself.  :)    Congratulations to Mommy, Daddy, and Big Sister!  Thank you for letting be be a part of such a special day.

Oh, my kids so love having a bonfire out at Nana's house.  Even better when the cousins all get together and roast hot dogs (I say YUCK!) and marshmallows.  This time we made home made marshmallows and OH. MY. WORD. they were DELICIOUS.  It's true--everything is better when it's made from scratch.  If you like marshmallows you must try to make them!! 

I'm so glad I had the chance to video our last bonfire and capture these memories for my kiddos.  They love watching themselves!  They could sit around for hours watching these videos of their daily lives because it's also true--the simple times are the best times.  

My kids LOVE getting to spend time with their cousins.  It seems they never get enough time with them!  One of our holiday traditions is the cousin football game after Thanksgiving dinner.  While the adults clean up, the kids get dirty!  

Oh, the anticipation and excitement over this little baby's arrival is so great!!  Mom, Dad, and all the siblings just CAN'T WAIT to meet the newest member of their family--and neither can I!  Everyone is still debating if it's a boy or a girl and at the moment I'd say the votes are split right down the middle.  But one thing is for certain--this little baby is loved more than s/he knows and we are all anxiously awaiting the day when we get to meet this little one!
