all the stress and having to put in mach-12 efforts to make us all presentable and coordinating for another photography session ALWAYS proves worth it. the pictures just get better and better as our family grows in number and size. here are the sneak peeks our photographer, brenna, has posted from our friday session.

on a whim on thursday night i sewed a button to a piece of elastic to make the flowers from layla's crochet hat into interchangeable headband pieces. a stroke of brilliance. i LOVE it. and this picture. oh man. they are locked IN on each other in love. pitocin, 4th degree tear, sleepless nights, pregnancy hemorrhoids. i'd do it all over again for this.

ok, this a little saucy. he needs to tone it down. it looks like george constanza's posed pictures for the photo-shop girl. man i love this kid

soul-piercer!

what could make us this happy???

yup, that'll do it!

i have no words. just burn it into my heart.
