The Barn Doors

Aaron and Hoku came and visited us during Christmas Vacation: the present of presence!  Cousins are a pretty precious commodity around here and we made the most of them--despite the uncharacteristically chilly weather.  Thanks guys! 

A Model Family

Yes, that's right, this is a real family.  No models were used as replacements in this photo.  They're all that darn cute.  And while I'm making disclaimers, they're this colorful, fun, and cooperative in real life as well.  Thanks Bartlett Family for the chance to take your pictures!

Tea Rose

Pretty colors, a tea set, childlike joy, and two sweet kids: it was a fairytale morning!

 

 

Hello Sweetheart

It's so fun to see how one tiny baby changes everything.  There's new big sister. There's a new family of four.  There's a mom and dad who are now making plans for "their girls."  And there's a new personality--distinct even at a few days old--ready to make a place in this family!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Treasured

 When Ashlynn saw the pictures of this little lady in an old suitcase she said, "Oh look!  She's in a treasure box."  Only too fitting for this much loved, long wanted little girl.
