Family of Three (plus one)

Last weekend we took a little trip to St. Louis to visit some family.  (Hunter & Lily had a great time at the Science Center, Zoo and park, but I'm going to save those pictures for another post. ) We got to meet up with my cousin and her family for a play-date and an informal Family/Maternity session.  Her due date is in less than 2 weeks, so these may be their last pictures as a family of three!

I ♥♥♥ this one...I just can't stop looking at it...

Soon-to-be Big Sis...Ella...she's two and half and doesn't stay still for long... 

 

 

My cousin, Emily, is a blogger too!  She recently entered a competition sponsored by Chevrolet and was one of six blogging mommies chosen in St. Louis to drive a Chevy Equinox for a month and blog about her adventures!  How fun...and super sweet to have a brand new, decked out truck for the arrival of their new baby! 

I will post the pictures of Hunter & Lily from our trip soon, I promise!

Hot Mama ♥ Jessica

Jessica & Tyler are expecting their first baby this fall...They met and started dating when they were 14 years old!!!! They've been sweethearts ever since. Now they are all grown up, married, and have a baby on the way.  Life is good!

This baby is sooo loved, already!

Hot Mama...Kristie!

Here's another super-fun, "super-hot mama" (and it has nothing to do with the 100 degree temps)!

 

This shot was a special request, and I just love how it came out!  The light was perfect for it.

 Speaking of beautiful light...

I can't wait to meet baby "R" in August! 

Hot Mama...29 wks with TWINS!

Dear blog, why is it that the longer I've been away, the harder it is to return????  I'm still working on getting caught up after being out of town for almost 2 weeks.  Don't be offended, my laundry has been just as neglected as this site.

Here's to getting caught up...This was a super-fun maternity shoot that I squeezed in just before my trip.  I'm so glad we got it done, because the babies are here now!  Both babies and mom are doing just fine. 

Baby Millie

Meet baby Millie...our new great-niece!  We were so lucky to be in town last weekend when she was born!  These pictures were taken minutes after she was born.  We couldn't stay for long...had to let Momma rest...and then we left town the next morning.  I'm so glad we got to be there, and I can't wait to get back to see her again!

Daddy, meet your new baby girl...

...and Cessie... 

1st grandchild... 

Oh, its just too hard to keep those eyes open...so tough being a baby! 

Congrats Tom & Kelly!  I'm sure you've figured out by now that your life has changed in ways you couldn't of imagined.  Y'all are gonna be great parents!  We love you! 

***and since it would just be plain WRONG to post a picture of the new mommy just moments after giving birth (even though she was still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen after having a baby!!!), here is one of Kelly that we took earlier in the day.  She said that she was feeling different that day...ha!
