Family Photos!

The fall in Virginia is something so so beautiful. It's my absolute most favorite time of the year hands down. I love a good crisp morning, I love all fall festivals, the colors, the changing of the season, family celebrations.. I just love it all. But so does everyone else in Virginia and what has kept me so busy. So when my mom emailed me to ask when we were taking our family photo I felt awful. So we crammed it into a morning session and of course must have picked the first coldest morning of fall. I set up my tripod and made Justin run back to our house to grab my remote I forgot. Pure chaos but it's amazing what you can get in 10 minutes. We will be taking another round with the Smith/Hamilton (!) clan soon. Happy Fall!

Then we changed direction to make the wind work with us... it's all in the small things boys

two little wedding crashers!

These munchkins are in their aunts wedding this weekend. I don't have any expectations for their actions but I know they will look adorable whatever they choose to do. Can't wait for Saturday!

happy dancing

Colin's persoanlity.. i have no idea where it came from. But at three years of age he has more facial expressions than I've ever seen on a person and he uses each of them perfectly. His eyebrows can speak several different languages alone. But his happy dance is killer. I love his little happy dance..

all in a day

we make a mess with our cereal because nobody dare touches his spoon
we are the first ones to arrive at any given park in the morning
we watch colin leave for his first game with dad (we not playing mommy, we just watch.. he was nervous)
we play with Brielle for the night (not pictured as I was too busy breaking up baby doll fights)

Summer on Film!

Julia's Shower!

My sister in law is getting married in October and I had the pleasure of throwing her a bridal shower. I had so much fun planning mostly because Julia deserves it. Julia is such a kind hearted, beautiful and laid back girl. It was so nice to see all of her friends again that I hadn't seen in such a long time. All of them were so so helpful and I am so much looking forward to celebrating with Julia and Danny in a few months!
