i just LOVE this one…

and this one…

the connection between eric and our boys is so amazing. i love it when i feel like i’ve captured a small part of it. i just don’t ever want to lose the picture in my head of the three of them at this point in our lives. i’m a lucky girl:)

the boys did this for a long time…jumping off, and climbing back up, jumping off and climbing back up.

dyaln likes to skip everywhere. sometimes, it’s not my favorite thing. he tends to fall often, and i don’t think the skipping helps:) but then i found this…and it’s so perfectly him. i’m trying to let him skip more, without me telling him to be careful. besides, isn’t skinned knees part of being a little boy?

had her second baby girl last week, and i was able to meet little maggie while we were in california. she is serioulsy just a little peanut! she was 5lbs. 10oz. at birth, i don’t know if i’ve ever held a baby so small! she’s perfect in every way, her little features are so petite and girly, and she has such a sweet little disposition. janna and jamie make beautiful babies! miss kate is quite the big sister at not quite two. man, it’s crazy how overnight, the older sibling grows up, and aren’t so small anymore. i just wish i was closer so i could see ALL my girls change gradually, instead them growing when i’m not there. i’m hoping to get back before little miss maggie gets too much bigger.

here are some pictures i took the morning i met this sweet little girl.

i had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful couple while we were in california. i just love the way these turned out! don’t they look so in love??

thanks you two love birds:)
