our new little gavin.

My beautiful niece Valerie and her husband Arty had a baby boy. His name is Gavin Parker and I love him. My sister Lisa flew Margaret and I back to Delaware 2 weeks ago to take pictures of him...right in the middle of a "nor-easter". Somehow we still managed to get some beauties. I am so glad I got to meet him, and see sweet Val in her new role of mother. She is a natural at it. She was made to be a mom. She adores that baby, and you just KNOW he can feel it. <3

anteres and her boys.

I can't even imagine being surrounded by all this testosterone. Anteres is a beautiful mother though. She loves these boys. She and her husband Dave are raising some kind, good kids.

the reeds. (well...most of them)

This is Carrie and her family. THIS Carrie. She is one of my greatest friends. From way back in the day...the early 90's, living it up at the Riv. I love her so much. The only person missing from these pictures is her husband Dave. You wish you knew them. Trust me, you do. They are hilarious. <3

the daltons.

My favorite place once again, with one of my favorite little families. What am I going to do when my friends sell the place? Hope that never happens. I haven't edited these at all. Not a smidge. The light was THAT good over there. (Almost) 2 year old Addison wasn't having it. Good thing she is so cute and her parents are absolutely gorgeous together!
