Baby in Waiting 2010-02-21

I spent a beautiful day with a very lovely family yesterday. Drove all the way up to Enosburgh -to my surprise there was just tons of snow up that way.

Lovely family are waiting for their 3rd little miracle. They have 2 beautiful girls and are now only weeks away from meeting their little boy..

Thank you C and J for allowing me the honor of capturing the incredible time in your lives....
I'm looking forward to photographing the little man once he arrives..

All the best ~

Hello there little brother
