welcome little man weston.
These photos bring my heart such great delight because the Pack family is simply an extension of my own family. Seeing them welcome this precious baby boy is such a beautiful picture of life and love. They have so much to be thankful for this holiday season and I'm just so happy that I was able to catch a glimpse of that through my camera.

family stuff.
Last week Ross and I had the chance to getaway to Charlottesville, VA... just us... and it was fabulous. Of course we missed Charlie boy, but it was divine to stroll, eat, talk and just have a good old fashioned date with my hubs. I still have a pretty big crush on him. In typical fashion though,we planned on at least getting ONE photo of us together at dinner (which was UNREAL at Tavola)... but we failed at getting that darn photo. I did at least snag a few shots with my iphone as a were grabbing coffee at the most divine coffee shop I have been to in quite some time - Mud House.

In other fun family news, I just got back from visiting my oldest brother's family and seeing Charlie interact with his Noon nephews sure does make my heart happy. All these boys are growing up way too fast... but I do love them so. Please just look at how Charlie is holding onto Wills' thumb. Seriously. Melt. Me.

Fall has arrived. Behold the changing leaves, and enjoy the crisp breeze. Let your eyes take in the bursts of color. Transformation is afoot and hope is in the air.

The time I spent with this sweet family was truly a delight to my soul. Getting to know them, I realized that they are in such a similar stage of life as our little family -  we are both loving it!! Their sweet boy John is just a month older than Charlie and he was SUCH a trooper in the cold, crisp weather, which provided for some awesome snuggles. I feel like these images truly capture the feeling of a fall day and a family simply loving each other.

charlie boy: 10 months
Yesterday we celebrated 10 months of life for Charlie and I can't hardly believe the transformation of baby to little boy that is happening before my eyes every day. Truly, it's as if he is growing with every blink I make.

Charlie boy - I love you from the depths.

welcome little man logan.
A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.
