Joe and Naomi came for a visit in May! While they were here Emily and I did a photo shoot with them. It wasn't a very long one, but we got some good pictures and had fun. We went to a local park for the shoot. So here they are! 

These were taken when she was 7 months pregnant.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Pictures taken by Emily and Lydia.

Hey you guys! Perhaps you've heard of the movie "Frozen". I haven't actually seen the movie but I was introduced to one of the songs, "Let it Go", through a friend. The song had such a dramatic, beautiful melody but the words were rather rude and rebellious (i.e. "I don't care what they're going to say!", "No right, no wrong, no rules for me! I'm free!")... but the tune stayed with me and I would randomly start singing it. Having that song constantly running through my head (and not even remembering the words!) was getting so annoying! So I started making up my own words. One day I was cleaning the kitchen with Lydia when we started coming up with a bunch of different words in place of "let it go". Suddenly at almost the same instant we started singing "let it grow"! We both started laughing as we started making up more words. If you know anything about our family then you know that my dad has a beard, my brothers both want beards (they aren't quite old enough to grow their own :(), and our brother-in-law, Joe, has a pretty long beard. Beards have been a part of our lives since the beginning- my dad had a beard when he married my mom.

  So anyway... enjoy our song about beard growing in a bald faced world..
