Julia was welcomed home by her Mommy and Daddy a few weeks ago and I got the privilege of meeting her for the first time this past weekend. I arrived and she was snoring away in her perfectly pink polka-dotted room (which I *adore* by the way). I walked in and gasped at how beautiful this little girl was! :)
Julia's skin is perfectly smooth, her eyes are amazing, her hair is plentiful and she is the apple of her Mommy and Daddy's eye. They adore her so much and it was so sweet to watch them as they cuddled her, kissed her, sang to her and just enjoyed their new little family member!

And I had to get a shot of her *amazing* little girl room. Don't you just LOVE IT!?????

Over the past few years I have become quite fond of the Franta family and their 3 adorable kids! Wendy, Nick and the 3 kiddos have the kind of family that I *dream* to have someday---they admire their kids, they laugh with their kids, go on adventures with their kids and they oh-so-much LOOOVE their kids!
To say that I can believe that it has been a year since I got the wonderful news announcing the birth of their youngest little tike, Buchanon, would be a lie! Time sure flies (and I am not even a parent yet! HA!) Buchanon is an amazing little boy with fat rolls everywhere, a smile that can capture anyone from across the room and 2 olders siblings that *ADORE* him!
I absolutely *LOVE* (with a captial "L") the outfits that Wendy has for the kids everytime I arrive. Doesn't Buchanon look like the next CEO of some giant firm in the cities??? Someday when his photo is hanging high in a gold frame above a marble fireplace in a big-shot office, I will send him a framed photo of this to put next to it! :)

And now onto Buchanon's weekend, golfing attire!! :)
Our morning together sure tuckered the little guy out because he was zonked when we were done!
I don't know what I am going to do without being able to stop at the Franta's house every 3 months now since Buchanon is already a whole YEAR OLD! I guess that means you guys are going to have to have another baby!!! (WINK WINK) :)

How much do I *adore* the Hines family??? Well...A LOT!!!!! They are one of the most spunky, fun, radically great familes ever!
Bre, who will be 5 in September, tells the funnies jokes (all involving buggars in case you are wondering), loves to wear pink, calls her Daddy "baby butt" (which I think is just HILARIOUS) and has the prettiest little almost-5-year-old-smile!! We had a great time wondering around through the tall grassy field....

This next photo just cracks me up......it is the "I am mad at you, but you said something funny so now I am trying not to laugh AND still mad at you" face. Anyone who has been around kids should immediately bring to mind a similar situation with a little tike.....
HA!
HA!
Bre decided that it was her turn to take some photos of Mommy and Daddy----TAAA DAAA!! What a great portrait! :) (she was pretty thrilled with the result!)
Can't you just see how hilarious her BUGGAR jokes are in this one?? Lynfield thinks they are just the funniest (although I am SURE he has heard them one thousand times before!)
What little girl doesn't *love* to Hoola-Hoop on a nice, hot, summer day?
A family that can make silly faces together shares one *perfectly* special bond!!! :)
Bre was so thrilled to be done with photo-time so that she could go on an adventure to get her highly anticipated training wheels for her brand new, pink, princess bike! I hope that you have many long bike rides to many ice cream parlors this summer! :)
I love you Hines family!!!!!
OH---and for those of you eyeing-up that beautiful pink chair....I have to say that I found it at a flea market and reupholstered it last week. How awsome is that chair? You will definately be seeing more of that to come through the summer!! I must show it off beacuse I am *oh-so-proud*!

Time sure flies because this little baby is already 6 MONTHS OLD! It seemed like I just met her for the first time and now she is sitting up, goo-ing, smiling and LOVING every second of being outside. I can totally see her being the little princess fairy running after butterflies once she can walk! :)
And does she just look the cutest in this little pink tutu???
Her eyes are this beautiful shade of brownish-hazel that are big, bold and beautiful!
Shelby, I wish you many days of playing in the grass and coo-ing at your Mommy this summer. I can't wait to see you this fall!!! :)

At two weeks old you can already tell that Charlie is going to be a handsome little guy. I caught a glimpse of his his little dimples when he smiled at Mommy a few times and his dark eyes are enough to make anyone want to cuddle with him for hours. I am sure fond of him! :)
I CAN NOT WAIT to see this little guy grow up and fall in love with cars, make forts and run around chasing his puppies!

I told you that those sweet little dimples would make you fall in love.....
This picture just CRACKS ME UP!!! Charlie has the "I am feeling safe becasue I have my Mommy and my Nook, but seriousely some body get this lady OUT OF HERE!" look on his face. He has quite the expression for a newborn! :)
And my favorite Daddy-Charlie picture EVER!
I love you Mr. Charlie and can't wait to see you again! :)

I would argue that Maria's baby bump is *the cutest* growing thing on this side of the St. Croix river...although I might be biased. Maria is one of my dear dear friends that has made me laugh, been my walking partner, inspired me to knit, given me a snot rag when I cry too much and always always *always* been there for me through my life's roller coaster.
Maria is one of those people you meet in life and never ever want to let go of....I KNOW that my life has more smiles because she is a large part of it. She is due in July and couldn't be happier for Brent and Maria to welcome this new little bundle into the world......
Maria, I hope that you don't hate me for publically sharing this next photo but it CRACKS ME UP SOOOO MUCH! From the *most* hilarious expression on her face, you can (a) tell how much she feels like the baby needs to come out soon and (b) get some sense of just how funny Maria can be! This was one of those *slpit second* shots that I had to snap and save!! :)

And isn't is just soooo darn obvious why she is so dear to my heart???!?!?! :)
My absolute favorite of the day...isn't she just stunning?????
Maria, you are going to be the BEST MOM in the whole world. *I promise*
