I have 2 nephews and am expecting a niece this april!  (yay!)  Though my oldest nephew will only be 3 in may and Ethan, the oldest here, 5, the similarities were still there.  It continues to amaze me the work these parents do!  I feel busy some days just caring for my cat. 

Anyway, as soon as I arrived I was greeted by the still sleepy from his nap, Dylan; the energetic, inquisitive and informative Ethan and the adorably happy 4 month old, Bella.  Ethan enjoyed giving me a hand-held guided tour of the neighborhood on our walk to the nearby park.  At the playground Dylan definitely awoke from his sleepiness and had a great time running around and playing on the equipment.  As daylight was escaping fast, we captured some moments there and then headed back to the house to photograph the beautiful baby Bella!

Here are a few favs…..

Next, we headed outside.  Here is how Jacob felt about the rain!  Jacob, awesome job on the jump!!

Here a couple of Shealyn… letting her her get wet.  She was really at ease in front of the camera.  A natural model!  I love that you can see the drops of rain in the sky and in her hair!

and lastly, here are some of them playing together….

Here are some of Connor’s individuals.  He is making his First Holy Communion soon!

Then I headed outside with Kaylan.  Isn’t she just stunning?!  The fog made for a beautiful soft background….

then…. I got some of big brother, Dylan.  I was sincerely impressed with his maturity and helpfulness during the entire session.  Thanks, Dylan!

Lastly, we got all three kids together.  Big thanks to Mom for letting the kids get a little dirty!  I wasn’t going to have them sit on the steps because of the rain and mud, but she said, “they are just clothes, they can be washed!”.  What a great attitude!  I absolutely loved that.
