Happy 4th Birthday, Zachary!

Happy 4th Birthday, Zachary!

It's hard for me to believe you're 4 today, Zachary.  Where has the time gone? You are without a doubt the life of this family.  You keep us laughing, on our toes at all times and thankful each and every day.  What a huge, huge blessing you are to our family.  Happy Birthday, Terminator! We love you bunches and bunches!

Spring Pictures

It's been since Fall 2010 that we've had our family pictures done.  Obviously we've grown by one since then.  My wonderful, extremely talented friend, Heather Lauffer, took our pictures.  If you're in the market for a photographer, please give her a call.  You can also find her on Facebook (Heather Lauffer Photography).  We had our pictures done on Memorial Weekend in downtown Raleigh.  See for yourself what beautiful weather we had and my precious family.  Enjoy!
