May The Force Be With You

I was SOOOO excited for Halloween this year.  FINALLY, Eric would have someone to join his passion for Star Wars.  He had asked Riley and Ellie NUMEROUS times to dress up as someone from Star Wars:  Storm Trooper, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C3PO...ANYONE.  I surprised Eric with a handmade YODA hat for Cooper made from a kind lady at ETSY.  She made it quickly and sent it before Halloween.  We had planned to walk around the neighborhood with Riley and Ellie.  We thought Cooper would enjoy the view from his stroller.  Little did I know

that it would be raining and 30 degrees that night.  We snapped some pics and enjoyed the company of 6 trick-or-treaters in the warmth of our home.    Cooper's first Halloween was quiet and short lived.  But he sure looked CUTE!

Photography is a WORKOUT!

She is a saint.  Truly.  She is a kindergarten teacher, she was sick this day AND she is in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy!  Thanks to my good friend, Stephanie, we captured the essence of a great time in our lives.  Our first photo session.   

Sweet, little wrinkly lines on bodies are ONLY CUTE ON BABIES!

Pretty good...

Oh, keep looking at the camera...and smile...

"Mama, I think he's cold..."

My favorite.  EVER!

Can you read the letters on the ring?  It reads, "BELIEVE".
