Family Love

I always find it a treat to be a part of special occasions.  This was a beautiful late August afternoon and this family was sweet and fun.  A 50th year anniversary for marriage and all the love that grew from that day was reflected in the warm shady grove of trees.

Thanks for letting me capture your moment!

I Love You Twice (and much more).

Is it possible for one's heart to burst from the love and joy two beautiful boys bring?  It certainly feels that might happen.  The safe arrival of these boys was anticipated for months and the slightly bumpy start was intrepidly brave.  These courageous boys held strong and firmly planted themselves in the hearts of all the family and friends that meet them and are getting to know them.  They definitely have a grip on me.  They have settled wonderfully into their new home, with their fur-sibling, Mom, Dad and extended loving family.  Their daily adventures have started, their desires and assertions have begun.  I can't wait to hear all about it and spend more time with my nephews for years to come.  Here we go!  

Great Joy.

Oh the ~M family!  I know their youngest is not a baby anymore, but it still always amazes me how much I've seen this family grow and grow, and now the house is absolutely full of giggles, shrieks and scampering feet (and paws!).  Every year at this time I am lucky enough to have a super happy Sunday morning visiting their home and learning all about the latest progressions and adventures of the wee ones.  Hockey, play school, play dates- and this year a fun Gala- for the family.  Mom and Dad are inspiring and I always come home happy to give my own kids some extra love because the ~M family's is infectious!  I can't wait to see what you all get up to in the next year (some big projects maybe?  ha ha).  Lots of love over the holidays!  Laura Jane.

And Baby Makes... FIVE.

My baby brother and his wife are having another BABY! I love a good baby, and I already love this one.  It'll be a (third) boy, and I can't wait to meet Mister Beautiful.  

I already love his older brothers to pieces.  And bits.  Also, so so much.  A lot.  You with me?

His Momma is beautiful and radiant.  Only a few more weeks.  Gosh, a winter baby will be the best to snuggle all cozy with his Mom.  

I added the cousin photos at the end, whom are also so excited for another one.  There.  Now the anticipation can eat at us all, blog readers.
