Family pictures!

We finally had our family pictures taken! My friend and co-worker Teri came over to our house to shoot our first ever professional pictures as a family of 5! She did an amazing job, and we spent all weekend trying to choose the best ones out of 140 images she took! Teri, thank you VERY MUCH!

And this Saturday we are leaving for a much needed weeklong vacation to Cancun! The girls will be staying with Grandma, and I miss them already, but I can’t wait to spend the week at the ocean...

As I've said before, you have a very beautiful family. Victoria has such a beautiful smile, so much of it is in her eyes. I still say Raisa has a beautiful open mouth smile. I've only seen two with all your pictures and both are VERY nice. I guess it's because she's smiling with her whole face. Thank you so much for sharing those pictures with us.

Chris and Virginia said...

OK, 3 of Raisa. Somehow I missed the Mothers day one which I saw previously.
