Our Growing Family

This past 4th of July holiday was filled with lots of quality family time! My brother’s family came in from NY for the week. Michael and I spent 8 days at Denton Abbey and Ryan was able to enjoy a few days off to relax! My parents were there and my Uncle’s family from FL visited us for a few days. When my Goddaughter and nephew are in town I always love to capture some fun portraits of them (they are just too cute!!) — they are growing up too fast! One evening before dinner, I walked them down to the river where we have some beautiful tall grass. The warm, golden hour sunlight was so dreamy to photograph! I was making silly noises to get Ellie and Jr. to laugh at me and I captured some of my favorite snuggle images of them!! I snapped a few of the whole family then we put the grandkids on MiMi and Poppy’s lap. I was clicking away and I heard my brother Maury in the background say… “well, I hope you love grandkids!!………… because Rachael is eating for TWO tonight!!!. What?! I’m going to be an aunt AGAIN. YAY!!! I loved capturing the look on my parent’s face once they realized what he just said. They are now a family of 3 kiddos!! Rachael is due in February — they don’t plan to find out the gender this time around. Sooooooo exciting!! I couldn’t be happier to have another baby to snuggle… Our family just keeps on growing!

Too funny that when they told us the news that I was pregnant too but just didn’t know it yet!

My parent’s reaction to the news!!

Telling Ryan!!

Stunning Mama… merely 8-weeks along (in July). XO!
