"sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing them with the right people." ~nicholas sparks

meet the chacon-marble family! they are one of the sweetest, most loving, easy-going families you will ever meet. we enjoyed a beautiful fall day playing by the pond at one of their most favorite parks. they blew bubbles, snuggled, ran around, danced, played in the leaves and really just had a good time being together.  

vanessa and i have become friends through our mops group and she is truly an inspiration to me. she loves her sweet babies so much and is an absolutely amazing mother. no matter what, she always has a smile on her face and kind words to say. she loves the Lord and has an amazing gift for loving and serving others. thank you vanessa for being my friend and for letting me spending this beautiful morning with you and your family. 

boys will be boys

cause i look at him and i see a boy

and i see trouble and i see joy

see innocence and headstrong

and a heart full of dreams

i look at him and i'm so amazed

i'm so proud and then so afraid

that the apple didn't fall quite far enough from the tree

yeah i look at him and i see me

these two little guys which you might remember from here and here are some of my favorite clients. i have watched them grow up so much over the past year and i have loved every minute of it. they love to giggle and be silly, to run and jump and play peek-a-boo. they remind me so much of my two little ones and we have so much fun every time we get to hang out. their parents are pretty cool too, by the way! 

welcome to the world dax morgan

son, welcome home

within these walls, you'll never feel alone

we'll tuck you in and kiss your cheek

we will lift you when you weep

say a prayer and sing you fast asleep...

so reach out your hand, i think i saw you smile

i've never felt so humbled in the presence of a child

so reach out your hand

~rob taylor

welcome home sweet baby dax. you are so well-loved. i look forward to watching you grow and can not wait to see all of the things big brother ferris has in store for you.

Remember this super cute belly from just a few weeks ago? Well here are the rest of the images from that chilly morning. This family was so cute, so fun, and so excited about this new little one that will hopefully be here any day now. Although it was down right cold, we still had a great time exploring the Kentlands Art Barn in Gaithersburg.  Big Brother was all smiles and didn't complain one bit, seriously, not once (a few Goldfish might have had something to do with that but there is nothing wrong with a little bribery)! He was so sweet and you can just tell that he is going to be a great big brother. He was quite smitten with his mommy and her cute belly. One of his favorite things to do is belly bump his mommy. I guess that is his special way of saying hi to his new baby brother or sister. 

I know all to well how special these last few weeks as a family of three are, so thank you guys so much for letting me capture these special moments for you. My prayers are with you as you countdown the days to being a family of four. Here's to a speedy labor & delivery and a healthy baby! I can't wait to meet him or her.
