A l-o-n-g time ago Jen had an "auction" to raise money for childhood diabetes...I ended up winning a photo shoot from Chris Jenkins Photography!!! Not only is Chris a great photographer, but I'm lucky to call her a friend these days too. We met through friends of friends, have had lunch, and run into each other at social gatherings here and there. My point is, I felt really comfortable about having her over to the house to do our family photos!
here are some of my favorites...
of course these loaded backwards - you'd think I'd have learned by now! We also went to the park...

This girl makes the world a better place

This girl is the funnest kid in the world...yesterday at the grocery store, she randomly says to a stranger "We can't go to the festival without
Toli" they looked at us like we were crazy because I was laughing so hard (for those of you who
don't get it - she is quoting cartoons that she watched that morning...I don't know why it's so funny to me, but it is)

The man of my dreams, the love of my life.

Watch out - here we come!

Trouble with a capital T - she made it so hard to get family shots!
