Meet Matt. He's been on the blog before during basketball season and is one of this year's seniors. His mom Tracy and I also work together. This past weekend, they had me out to their home. It is so relaxing! They have a big pond and a lot of patio space. The mesquitoes however were not so accomodating. Tracy followed me around with a shirt to fan the mesquitoes off me while I follwed Matt around taking pictures. We must have looked pretty strange, but it was a good time.
This is Meagan and Johnathan. They are having a baby boy in six weeks! I actually met them through my friend Mandi and we really clicked at our photo session Tuesday night. She and Johnathan were fun to hang out and shoot pictures with, and that always makes a session more enjoyable. They are going to be great parents!
The Pelletier family are close friends of ours. The youngest son, JP, and my husband Jonathan have been best friends since college and we were invited to his parents' house recently for a cookout. This is the first time in a couple years the whole family has been in one spot at one time, so we tried for a family photo. With 5 kids and 6 grandkids however, that turned out to be a bit of a spectator sport for me. It was quite entertaining, until we finally got the shot above with everyone in it....or so we thought....as we were taking this picture, another child emerged from the garage, blissfully unaware (or blissfully aware) that he was missing the photo. 
Meet Mandi and Joe. They've been on the blog before, but not yet in their own post. Mandi is one of my oldest friends. We've known each other since the fourth grade, and our lives recently have been pretty much mirroring each other. We got engaged, married, and pregnant all within a few months of each other. Now she and her husband Joe live in Dallas and are expecting their first child this summer. Joe is in medical school and has been waking up at 3 every morning to go to the hospital, so I'm sure the last thing he wanted to do was take pictures when he got home, but as you can see, he was a very good sport. Mandi had some great pictures like the one above, but she is very modest, and I figured posting even this one would be pushing the line!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! When we got married almost three years ago, we received a grill as a wedding gift, but since we have lived in apartments and overseas since then, it has never been opened...until now. We finally broke out the grill this week, so besides it being St. Patrick's Day, breaking in the new grill was a great excuse to have everyone over.....and you know what that means! Yup, tons of pictures of Sienna!!!
Sienna and Tino were getting along great at the beginning of the afternoon. He was following her everywhere, helping her pick up golf balls....
