Keye, Jen, Ella and Rex: Love

I've known this family since before there was Ella. I met Ella when I came home from college and she was a tiny baby with the cutest face. They moved away and Jen got deployed to Afghanistan when Ella was only a year old, and I read Keye's hilarious blog about surviving as a military husband. I saw them reunited (over Facebook of course) and later stalked pictures of their new little cutie, Rex. Then two weeks ago they came to my house and I said "Hi Rex!" and he looked at my coyly, smiled, ran over and held his arms out to me to be held and then cuddled up for about a minute before he ran off to the next person. 

Then we took pictures.

Christmas in the Park: The Whites

"So just in case the sweaters don't work, Rob and Christopher's shirts work with the color scheme too!" were Kari's words to me as she let me know that she had these outfits PLANNED OUT. I love the way their pictures came out, the colors were wonderful, Kari's touch of the necklace with circles in contrast to the stripes and checks (or as she called it, a geometric edge) was great, the smiles were real, and the early morning sunlight was constant. 

Love you guys!

(Thanks for going out to get crepes after too, that made my day!)
