A year ago, they were learning the art of gentle loving and forehead kisses; now, they’re masters at the art of making baby giggle and distracting their tiny sister from the wails and cries by smothering her in love with hugs and kisses. Somethings just never do change, do they? I wonder – ultimately – if they ever will. See how the older sisters are doting in absolute adoration of their baby sister? From personal experience, that delighted affection doesn’t subside with time; in fact, time and distance might even make it more pronounced than ever.
Right now, for Savannah and Natalie and Madison, they are playing peek-a-boo and blowing bubbles and sharing hugs and memories through the boo-boos and the spiders and the I-want-my-bottle traumas. In high school, they will be sharing fashion tips and giggling through crushes and crying together when the crush isn’t reciprocated. In their twenties, as friends-only-sisters-can-be, phone calls and emails will define that bond and the tears will be a little heavier than defined childhood owies and the teenage crushes.
But here they start: forging the bond that could be tighter than any other despite the childhood quabbles, stronger because of the shared experiences, and more joyful in the delight of it all.
Happy sister-celebration-day, a holiday of my own declaration in honor of my own sister and in celebration of Savannah-Natalie-Madison and the sister-bond that is flourishing.
The rain, the threatening thunderstorms, and the humidity tried to put a damper on our day – literally and figuratively – but it couldn’t. Oh…no….never. Not when its time to celebrate such a beautiful, pivotal, exciting season. And especially not when Todd and Marcela are counting down the days until they can meet their Jacob….
Her time in the limelight started strong. The attention of an entire room was revolving around her sparkling blue eyes and mischievous grin. She loved the attention, but secretly. She enjoyed the spotlight, but not entirely. It wasn’t right. Not as right as it *could* be. Her best friend, her favorite playmate, her most idolized…

I would imagine that being in love must be something like dancing in the sunset on the rooftop: soaring high above the mundane lives of everyone else, watching them trod to work, but not really caring about the traffic jam that’s causing stress. The sun is brighter, you’re soaring higher, and you’re on a completely…
Hey guess what’s happening on Thursday? the FIRST EVER photo sesssion givewaway from JenniMarie Photography. Let’s call it the launch party for JenniMarie: Canada Edition. Want to know why I came to British Columbia from North Carolina? Well, I went to AFRICA and met a CANADIAN and became a BRIDE and ROADTRIPPED across the continent with my husband. Simple enough, eh? =)
As we tackled Kanaka Creek Park family photos on a bitterly cold November afternoon, the sunshine and familial love kept us warm. The siblings are friends, the cousins are friends, the parents are friends. This is what family should be: friends. With so much cold (and apparently boundless energy!) we kept warm and stayed invigorated…
