We had family photos taken by my wonderful friend, the immensely talented Kayla of KM Photography. She is the sweetest person in the world with an incredible amount of patience: without thinking, I scheduled the shoot for a Friday after school and just around dinnertime... so the kids were, shall we say, less than cooperative. I'm talking, a little guy who decided he was a ninja turtle for the entire session and a little tornado of a girl who just wanted to roll around in the mud...
And yet... All these beautiful shots!
Oh, and our little announcement!
I'll let Ollie and Peyton share the exciting news:
Baby brother-sister is due in early February! We are all so excited!
Even though we don't know (and are not planning on finding out) what we are having, Peyton is rooting pretty hard for a baby of the sister variety. But brother or sister, she is pretty darn excited to "hold her and give her a piece of candy corn." Sooo, yeah, never leaving those two alone...
Family photos are always so special, but when I look at these I can't help but think about how we will look at them not so long from now and think, "How small the kids were!" In fact, I was looking back at the photos Kayla took for us last year and I was seriously in awe of how much the kids have grown! They look like babies in the last set of photos (and we were still in the diaper game, too!):

Having this beautiful documentation of our family as we grow (both in age and in number!) is truly priceless. I realized that (unless we manage to snag Kayla for some impromptu Christmas photos!) the next time we have her come out we will be a family of five! How exciting (and- okay, I'll say it: terrifying) is that?
Wishing you all a fun weekend of Fall excitement!
