    Beautiful pictures, I really like the black & white photo, and I really like that they are doing everyday normal things like eating pretzels & peanut butter, and nothing is forced.

    Oh my gosh! We LOVE these Maegan! You’re amazing! Thank you so much! We had such a nice time spending part of our day with you. You made us feel so comfortable we didn’t even notice the camera around your neck!

    Joel was still talking about you this morning as he went to play in his playroom! “Mama, remember I played with Maegan yesterday”? Haha!

    You caught exactly how we spend our time as a family and I just love it! Perfect! Joel loved looking at the pictures too. He’s sitting over me now asking to see them again!

    Happy 5th Birthday to the cute boy in these photos!!! I met this family when this big brother was his little sister’s age. I was so happy to see them again recently when little sister modeled for the Under The Nile Catalog. I hope it’s not so long before I get to see them again!
