Super Models

Ok, so I have been hesitant to post this specific post…but I REALLY can’t keep this to myself any longer. This is a warning to Joe’s parents & my parents: please beware that what you are about to see will be part of your Christmas gift from us. Be patient, Christmas is still over a month away. Sorry to be somewhat ruining part of the surprise.

Anyway, last week we had a little family photo shoot with our good friend Tim Drury. Tim is starting a little side business to help pay the bills but also to feed one of his passions. Tim & I have been incredibly close friends since we were 2 years old (our moms are best friends). We have been there for each other through some really tough times but some equally exciting times. Tim was even the link that brought Joe & I together.  Plus, Joe and I were with Tim when he proposed to his wife. He is an amazing man. Anyway, I could do a whole post on how much he, his wife (Sarah Jane), and daughter (Ella) mean to me.

We set out last Friday to get some pictures in Old Town St. Charles. It was a chilly & very windy morning (that’s my excuse for my hair in some of the pictures), but we had a blast. Elle was surprisingly cooperative, downright pleasant & obedient. PLEASE notice how stinking adorable her shoes are in these pictures. I am seriously considering chopping off my toes & squeezing the remaining nub of a foot into them. It may be worth it.

Anyway, here are some of our favorite shots…but we did hold a few of our favorites off the blog so our friends and family that will be getting Christmas cards from us won’t be all, “oh, yeah I already saw that…”. THANKS TIM, we love them. Oh…and if you want Tim’s contact info leave me a comment & I’ll be happy to pass it along.
