First of all, I must say again how flattered and humbled I am that you all stop by this little corner of the internet to read about me and my family. Some days I wonder why I still blog, especially when it’s been almost two weeks since my last post, and who is really interested in hearing what I’ve been up to anyways? Then I get a concerned call or email from my mother-in-law, wanting to know if everything is okay because I haven’t blogged (love you, Karen!). This is what technology and new media has brought us to. I actually don’t mind - I hate talking on the phone anyways. So to blog or not blog and still have people (new and old-faithfuls) comment is so encouraging and I don’t ever get tired of hearing from you. So keep ‘em coming!
Okay, moving on to other fun stuff - pictures! I feel so lucky to have some sweet hook-ups with not only people I know, but people I love. So when Kelly offered to take some baby and family pics of us once Max arrived, I got very excited and the woman did not disappoint!
We agreed that this was our favorite
Another set of beautiful blue eyes in the house
“We shall call him, ‘Max the Great’”
and here we are testing the physical limitations of the crib
True life, this picture
The baby-daddy - he still makes me swoon
Love them! We had so much fun and we all laughed a lot - if you don’t have friends who are amazing photographers I recommend you go out and make some, pronto! There were so many to choose from and obviously not all of them are here, but they are here if you want to check the rest out. Ryan and Kelly are a fantastic photog pairing, but Kelly can certainly hold her own. Thank you so much, Kelly - we love them!!

They are stunning!!! Ohmygosh I know you just love them. What talent Kelly has. I love the first one, and the one that is “real life” for you. So great! What an amazing gift and gorgeous family to boot!

Woot woot…hands up hands up. So glad you love them. Although I am looking at them on my parents computer and their screen color is calibrated all wrong and they look poo poo. Makes me wonder how people see our pictures. On our Mac they are so vivid and they look dull and dark on my parents…sadness. Anyway, you are a GORGEOUS family and it was my pleasure to bless you guys in this way and give you some good decorating candy. Get on Ryan to give you the disk…I won’t be home till this weekend. Had an awesome time on Sat….love you guys.

Candace! I’m such a blogging jerk. Seriously. I’ve been reading your blog for SO long now and I have not commented. Shame on me. I assume you’d remember me from TRBC oh so long ago and our few classes at LU. Erin McElveen… now Erin Heyerdahl. Anyway… just wanted to say “hi”, FINALLY… and tell you how much I adore you, your blog, your kids, your crafts… yep… that about covers it…
Head on over and check out my family, in your free time of course.
Also, I LOVE these pictures! So naturally beautiful!

Candace, these pictures are just awesome! You all are a beautiful family! I love the one with you and the two kids in the crib and the one of the family sitting together on the floor. I don’t get much time to read blogs, but I came across yours today and had to comment! It was good seeing you the other day
