Remember When?

Dear Sylas,

I know you are still inside your mom's belly. In fact you are snug in there and are facing an eviction notice very soon! But I want you to know something. Your mom and I have been friends since the 3rd grade. We went through everything together. As we grew older and saw each other less, we would always play this game anytime we got to see each other and it started like this. Remember when…

For example: Remember when we rode horses together in Mexico and I let go of the reigns to fix my hair? Yeah that was not smart! Remember when you kissed that boy in front of your mom in the  hallway? Remember when we would pretend we were horses and set up obstacle courses in the backyard? Remember all the trips we had to the beach house? Okay I admit I am seriously keeping this tame for the sake of anyone who reads this. I can't wait to play this game in a few years when I can say remember when Sylas cried all night and you called me desperately wondering what to do? Or remember when Sylas had a massive blowout and you didn't have a spare outfit? hahahahahaha Oh I can't wait!

Anyway, Sylas, you my dear are going to have some rad parents, amazing grandparents and lots of love from friends and family and lots of furry little brothers and sisters…and a few snakes :0

We love you already little man and are patiently awaiting your arrival. HURRY UP!!

In the mean time lets look at your gorgeous mom and and handsome dad!

And She Calls Him Pawka

Dear Parker,

I am sure you are already aware of the blue eyed beauty who so desperately wants to play with you. This little angel is your big sister. She likes to talk about you and show off your room. She may also make you believe that your name is Pawka when indeed it is Parker. Your big sister has big plans for you two. I can see it her eyes. She is drawing up the blueprints with her crayons as we speak of the forts that will be built. She is carefully selecting the outfits she will dress you up in when she needs another princess for her tea parties. She awaits the day when she can blame the spilled juice on the carpet on you ;) Most importantly, and she doesn't know this yet, she is blessed to have a friend for life. A brother who will love her, protect her, and tease her at all costs. 

Thank you Perry Family for allowing me to photograph your first and second precious children. I am honored to be able to capture these tender early moments for you. 

Mom and dad really wanted to replicate a few so of course we did! Sister is on bottom. 

 Another replication

These next photos tug at my heart strings. I just love the representation of dad the hero and the freedoms we are given in this glorious country.
