This family is so stinkin’ cute! We had a perfectly overcast day to hang out together at Montrose Harbor and Beach last Sunday morning. Jonah and Caleb both brought their A-games…their smiles are just amazing. Naomi and Eric, thanks for a wonderful time. It was so nice to finally meet you four!
When I first met this sweet family, it was in Montgomery Ward Park. Alexander was just a tiny squirt, and Victoria was still a hope and a dream. It only seemed fitting that years later, we return to the same scene to capture some new memories. Alexander and Victoria were truly top models…can’t get enough of these two! And it’s always special when we can include their Grandfather, who was in town visiting. Thanks for another great time, Katya and Eric! It was great to see you and your crew again.
Jackson and Abby and I had a beautiful day last Monday to explore Rosewood Beach in Highland Park together. I love these two kiddos, and we had a blast together, as always. Thanks for a great time, Amy and Joe! It was wonderful to see you four again.
Well…it happened. Our lives changed forever this week. Ellie’s first ever day of school. She was nervous, she didn’t want me to leave her. But she didn’t cry. She was brave and tough, a good listener, and took her first day of school in stride. (I was not so brave and tough. But, after dropping her off, I made it to the car before I started to cry. I’m chalking it up as a win!) When I saw her coming out of the building at the end of the day with her little backpack on, clutching her giraffe, all wide-eyed and looking around for me…I almost started crying all over again. “I love school! School is fun!” she said before excitedly telling me every detail of her day. I’m so proud of my little squirt. She’s my hero.
SWOON! I have been excited to meet baby Lily since I took her parents’ maternity photos earlier this year. She’s perfect, and I am absolutely thrilled for this sweet family. I had a feeling Jake was going to be a fantastic big brother, and he proved it by cuddling his new partner in crime. Congratulations again, Eliza and Adam! Lily is a wonderful addition to your family.
