< welcome baby boy >

Oh, how I've missed you, my dear friends. Congratulations on your beautiful (3 month old) new baby boy!

< family >

We had a case of some stomach bug these last few weeks, so I'm just finally getting around to getting these done. I'm sorry for the delay!

< sisters >

I've mentioned a few times that my sister is my best friend. And it melts my heart that my little girls are starting to be best friends. So it's always special for me when I get to photograph that relationship. I love these little girls. And I'm so happy for big sister that she has a new baby sister to share with. That is a gift.

LOVE YOU GUYS!

... home. It's amazing to me that we only lived in Elkhart for 2 years because whenever we visit, it feels like we're going home. It's not really the city, I guess, but the people we get to spend time with. And the fact that our first 2 children were born there probably has something to do with it, too. Whatever the reason, that's where we go every year for Thanksgiving, and I'm so grateful for these wonderful people in our lives. And I love watching their kids grow up, even if I basically only get to see them once a year. Our kids call them cousins, and why shouldn't they be? My Asian sister-friend and her boys look like they could be related anyway:)

Love you guys. Let's definitely get together before Thanksgiving next year.
