How our garden does grow!

I recently took a trip to the Tulip Festival. I took Dylan and Paige, while Courtney was in school, and my good friend Lindsay came with two of her kids as well. She is an amazing photographer and willingly took some pictures of my kids. I really needed a good 2 year old shot of Paige, but she took some good ones of Dylan as well.
It was really muddy that day and luckily you can't see Dylan's lower half, because he was covered in it. He fell a few times. I kept Paige in the stroller, so she stayed pretty clean.
There was a field of grass nearby and Lindsay felt inspired to use it as a backdrop for pictures too. I really liked how they turned out.

Our garden is growing in more ways than one. My kids certainly do grow faster than ever, but it also looks like we will be growing in numbers as well. Yes, that means I am pregnant, for those of you who don't already know. I went to the doctor today for the first time and heard the heartbeat. That's always the way I feel that what is happening is real. I have been sick but I am getting through it. I am 10 weeks along and my due date is November 17th.

Quick note- I didn't notice much the guy behind Dylan. I'm going to retouch him out of the shot and email you the new pic, sometime today. And... YAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! FUN FUN FUN! Well, you beat me 4-3.
