It’s been a while now since I moved to Greenville.  And it sounds crazy to add a year each January to say how long I’ve been attending my church ( 8 years now!).  But, it’s probably been that long or a tad less that I’ve known Stephanie and Valerie because that’s where we met… somehow, some Sunday, and probably in the children’s hall when I was teaching 2nd graders!

Anyway, these two sisters might be two of the most wonderful and most beautiful women.  And to top it off, they have AMAZING families!  The only word to describe my time with them last weekend is JOY.  Not only does this family love each other, but they love to laugh together!!  Which made me laugh and smile and y’all know how laughing adds years to your life, right?  Well, if I were a betting woman, I’d bet that everyone in this family will live to be over 100… easy.

Enjoy some of my favorites from the most beautiful of spring (and windy!) days last weekend!

We got a shot of everyone looking at the camera, but the laughter in the one below really makes me smile!

I only hope that Ben and I have the kind of love that Cindy and David have when we have grandchildren…

Maddie is one very special girl… and she is SO loved!

LOVE!

I asked them to get all snuggly and all 4 of them went straight for Maddie!

Stephanie, these boys love you SO much… even if they think kissing their mama on the cheek is gross ;-)  That will change!!!

Seriously… could y’all be any more gorgeous??

Oh wait, yes you can… all we had to do was add your mom into the mix.

A dad with his girls?  A favorite for sure.

Val said they never had engagement photos taken before their wedding…

But, oh my wowzers, Val… I’m thankful to have had the chance to have you in front of my camera!  Love this.

During these photos of Steph and Kevin, her mom kept saying, “3 kids later and still so in love!”  She was definitely speaking truth!

We did get some “proper” guy pictures, but the smiles and laughter came out when an impromptu wrestling match with dad came about.

Oh my heavens… what a beauty.

I’m ending with this one of Val and her sweet niece because I began by saying how much this family loves each other, which this photo fits perfectly.
