It’s a dreary and rainy out, and as par for the course, I’m both loving it (for the slower pace, the cooler temps, the chance to wear a sweater, and think of soups to start simmering on the stove), and longing for some sunshine.  The thunder keeps rumbling as I’m waiting for my kiddos to fall asleep for naps, and so I’ll post this beaming golden evening light session to be the bright spot in this grey day.

This family was the cutest, and I just loved all of their sweet interactions.  Young families are in this season of doing, and caring for, and finding their way as one stage quickly unfolds into the next, and those are the very reasons I love preserving this stage for them.  Sometimes you (and by that I mean I) get wrapped up in surviving the day to day that it seems like of course you’d never forget the little things each of your children is doing now, but before you know it, you have.

Big belly laughs, and dimpled hands, and sweet cuddles all captured for the H family forever and ever, below.
