FAMILY SESSION: baby brother coming soon...

Their third boy will be arriving later this year...

THREE!BOYS!

They are ecstatic and so incredibly excited to meet the newest member of their clan!

These big brothers are ready for the job ahead...they are gentle and loving and kind-hearted...

Oh, they like to run and tumble with the best of them, but they adore their mommy and daddy is their hero...

Even at this young age, it is being modeled to show respect and obey...and because their boundaries are clear and administered, they feel free to love fully and run and play without fear...

As a former teacher and now, a parent of teenagers, I look back now and recognize that even though it broke my heart to discipline my girlies when actions called for it...the benefits far outweigh the sad emotions in the moment...

I'm always so grateful and impressed by the families that I meet...these sweet moms and dads that love their kiddos, love the life and family they are creating...that are committed to the long story...

It's my pleasure to capture just a chapter...

I had to sneak in the following image because it was taken when little man was just a wee thing...and the new little guy waiting to be born wasn't even a thought yet...but to see the progression is delightful!
