I am so incredibly lucky and thankful to have such wonderful families that keep coming back to me year after year.  You have no idea how I grin like a fool when I get a phone call or email from a past LiLo family.

Thankfully this sweet family keeps calling!

Valerie and I went to high school together although we really didn’t know each other that well (she is a bit younger than me)!  And Nate and Chris went to the same high school (but I am pretty sure that they weren’t there at the same time).  Funny how life cycles around.

We also have gone to church together, been in small groups together and have become good friends over the last 3 or 4 years.  And I am so thankful.

Seriously, it is hard to beat this wonderful family.   They always make me laugh and smile and we have had some REALLY funny text strains going back and forth.  Let’s just say that Nate and Chris are kind of like teenage boys when it comes to their humor.  And Valerie and I had almost the exact same pair of shoes that day.  I told you we were destined to all be friends.

Not only are they so much fun to hang out with….but look at these darling faces.  Have you ever seen such adorable dimples?

This girl is like my spirit animal.  Full of joy, smiles and a pinch of sass.  I want to be like her when I grow up!

Noah is getting so big and handsome.  When we first met the Ellis’ he was just a little guy and now he looks all grown up.

I can’t believe these two.  Adorable.

Valerie, I loved that you chose such bright, vivid colors for this fall session.  It makes it feel so sunny and warm even though it was late in the fall!

I think this one is my favorite from the entire session.  Look at those happy faces.

This family will walk away with your heart…..(see what I did there…I am always good for a corny pun).

We stumbled upon this tractor at the end of our time together.  Little kids can’t resist the pull of the tractor.

Ellis family, we are thankful for you, your friendship and love.  You truly are some of our favorite people!!!  Let’s have dinner soon!
