What a blessing & privilege to live close to family. My sister, Amy, & I have always been close & she is someone I will always look up to. She & her husband, Travis, are some of our closest friends. Amy works at home & part-time in pharmaceutical sales; she is easily one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. And, no doubt, she is well beyond giving & generous. Seriously, our boys are almost exclusively clothed in hand-me-downs from her kids. Her husband, Travis, practices Optometry in town & has a knack for business. He pursues everything with excellence & has become a great friend. Plus, they have two wild little boys. Hunter, age 4, is their oldest. He is a super-smart kiddo with an ability to talk non-stop & ask questions much more profound than you’d imagine. One of my favorite stories of Hunter is when he was 3 years old & riding in the car with my dad. He turned & asked grandaddy a question which resulted in a long answer. Hunter interrupted him, “Grandaddy, all I want is a yes or no!” Ha!!! Chase, age, 2, is 110% boy; he’s certainly the second child. He thrives off adventure & is just plain tough; he takes a lickin’ & keeps on tickin.’ He has a mischievous look on his face about 90% of the time… love it.
I went out to the McDonalds’ farm the other day & spent some time capturing this season of life. Although it must’ve been 100 degrees by 9am, we still had a great time running around. Plus, the sunflowers were in season which were the perfect backdrop.

I love this pic… Amy was saying to Chase, “Don’t you dare smile Chase!” This is his tough look… priceless.



So thankful for this family! Love you guys!
