Ryker : New Arrival

I feel like I've known Brie and Ryan my whole life... we've been friends since middle school.  We grew up together, got married around the same time, and now we all have kids and are in ministry together.  Crazy.  Ryan and Brie had two boys - Kenan and Micah... now they have three boys!  I got to meet sweet baby Ryker when he was just 3 days old.  He's so tiny!

I snapped a few pictures while we visited... these are a few of my favorites.  Congrats, Brie and Ryan!

Lena : One

It's hard to believe that little Lena is ONE!  I can remember Angie and Casey's wedding so vividly... because it was the first wedding Joe and I attended as a married couple!  It's crazy that they have a little one and that they've been parents for a year now... Lena's grandparents (Lawrence and Jacque) gave her a photo shoot for her birthday and I was ecstatic when they asked me to do the honors!  Lena did GREAT - she was chill and happy through the whole shoot - and didn't even mind a few raindrops!  When she smiles really big, she sticks her tongue out the side of her mouth and it's beyond adorable.  We took a few pictures at Angie and Casey's house, then headed to a park for the rest.  The weather cooperated - and so did Lena. :)

Here are a few of my favorites from yesterday!  Happy birthday, Lena!
