Firsts ...

One year ago today, I held my daughter for the first time as did Kevin and Josh. It was the first time our friends Bill and Elizabeth met their daughter Aidai. We forged relationships that day that will never be broken. The gamut of emotions were high that day for all of us, but I think the photos speak volumes.
My first picture holding Ellie. She was such a tiny peanut. She never opened her eyes the entire first visit. Funny, she doesn't sleep like this anymore -- haha!!

Daddy's first time holding Ellie...

Josh's first time holding Ellie ...

My two children -- I love this picture!

Our first photo as a family of four (even though, technically, we weren't yet -- God knew we were!)
Bill, Elizabeth and Aidai -- look at those smiles!!

I love all the pictures...your firsts and your Memorial Day shots. What priceless treasures you are giving your children--seeing their lives through your eyes and having the pictures to prove it! Love them!
