Mallory has one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen and I love the way her eyes sparkle when I tell her that.  Nicholas and Nathaniel were both very shy at first but they warmed up quickly when they saw our big 3 foot gum ball machine.       

Mom really wanted Jordyn to wear her signature boots for her photo shoot - but as luck would have it, Jordyen decided she did not want to wear then for her that day.  Well with a little coaxing I got them on Jordyn and we were ready to begin.  Jordyn informed me that our secret location was too dirty and she did not want to get messy… and indeed it was a bit messy but I think we were still able to keep her clean enough.  By the way, Joryden I hope you got your shovel.  

I have been taking photos of Brooklyn since she was less than 24 hours old - after about 15 or so photo shoots, she really does not want to have anything to do with me and my camera.  The shots I got of her were still very cute, but just not what we had envisioned.  Bella as usual was a darling and gave me more than I could have asked for.    

I can’t begin to tell you how much fun Rachel and Hannah were yesterday.  Hannah was so willing to share with me that her sister was not only her first friend but also her best friend in the whole wide world!  Hannah kept telling me knock knock jokes that she made up herself and they made me laugh so hard because it reminded me of the ones Jet tells me.  Rachel tells me she loves to eat the chocolate chip cookies her big sister makes and read stories with mom and dad.  When I asked them where they got their beautiful eyes from - they responded “from our mom and dad silly”.  We had loads of fun together and oh, Hannah - I can’t wait to taste some of your cookies.    

Charlize was just too much fun to work with yesterday and really kept me on my toes.  The thing that she was the most fascinated with were our colorful paper lanterns - so we thought that it was most fitting to take her picture in front of them wearing her “princess Mulan” gown.
