They had no idea if they were having a boy or a girl, and many of their friends (including me) thought they were definitely having a boy.

Just 9 days ago, they welcomed sweet baby girl Charly into their hearts and family! She’s perfect in every way, and completely adorable!

Charly is surrounded by a ridiculous amount of lot of love and support. She has three siblings to look after her. They argue over who gets to hold her next, and they can’t get enough of her.

It’s amazing seeing my dear friend Linda so happy. She looks fabulous. She takes on the role of Mom to four with such style; she makes it look easy!

I was just about to take the photo below, when at the very last second, sweet T.

I started off last year with the resolve to take more personal photographs and I carried my ca mera with

me to all sorts of life events through out the year.

As I look back, there is a clear favourite image that makes my heart sing every time I look at it.  I come from a big family; I have 5 sisters. It’s hard for all us 6 girls to get together in one place and when we do it’s full of laughter and chaos. We have 16 kids between us 6 sisters, and it’s amazing to see our kids playing together just as we did growing up.

I happened across this cousin-moment at Thanksgiving. There was no time to think about camera settings and exposure, just enough time to click one frame.

One frame that I need to frame….

I hope your day is ridiculously amazing,
