Will, Shannon and Eli

Will is my older brother. He has a beautiful wife, Shannon, and an amazingly sweet little boy, my nephew, Eli! I love them all and wished they lived closer so we could see them more often. They live in Miami, Fl which isn't too terrible but it's definitely more than a day trip!

This sweet family is going to be growing from a family of 3 to a family of 4 in January! We are so excited to be welcoming a new baby to play with Ayda Jean and to make it even better it's going to be another sweet baby girl!! I can already see Gabe and Eli (who are 6 weeks apart) and Ayda Jean and Lillian running at our Mom and Dad's farm, pure sweetness! The only downside to this sweet bundle's arrival date is that it puts it so close to Christmas that Shannon's dr. has told her no traveling for the holidays. BOO! Of course we all want the safest option for Lillian and Shannon's health so we of course are complaining too much. With the news of them not getting to come for Christmas, they decided to make a long weekend trip 2 weeks ago to see everyone and make one last trip before Lillian is born.

While they were here we all had a great time but I'd say Gabe and Eli took the cake! They ran and played and rode their matching tricycles all over the place! We went for a visit to our Grandparents house where they chased the ducks and saw the chickens, which I have to say is a 2 year old little boys' heaven! On Saturday they went fishing with their dad's while the ladies threw a shower in honor of Miss Lily and Saturday night they got to go on a hay ride at our towns fall festival. Needless to say, by Sunday they were worn slap out! It is such a sweet thing to get to watch our kids run and play just like we did (without the bickering of siblings, of course).

Sunday afternoon I too the annual family pictures of Will, Shannon and Eli. Our Dad is a hay farmer and has about 80 acres of land to choose from when we get the urge to do pictures and that's the beautiful landscape you will see in these photo's. I love getting to be the photographer for these guys and capture the playful and curious nature of my sweet nephew. They are a beautiful family and it's so easy to capture great shots of them. I hope you enjoy their photo's on the farm!

Aren't they beautiful?!? I can't wait to make the trip to Miami to see that beautiful baby girl!!
