Our little blessed gift from God arrived on July 31st at 3:56pm, weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces, and measuring 19 1/2 inches.

Arielle is resting after a session of phototherapy to treat jaundice.

She has a tight grip my on finger. Mommy loves you sweet baby.

Arielle is one week old posing with the flower.

A well-known Washington DC area kids’ musician plays his heart out at a party. Prior to the party he led the kids around the block with everyone in their fully decorated scooters, bicycles, tricycles, wagons, strollers, and even ones on foot. Really no one does a neighborhood parade anymore, what incredible memories to build with your kids of simple fun.

It is best to photograph the newborns within the first two weeks of life. They curl into little bundles and preciously slumber off in the land of dreams.

This little guy was about two weeks old at the time. He looks like a little man. His Mom and Dad were proud!

This is my daughter lying on my husband’s Eames® Lounge Chair and Ottoman sunbathing by the window. She was three days old at the time. The smile may have been induced by gas or I would like to think deep in slumber about milk. She was born with high bilirubins (aka Jaundice) so sunbathing was a good thing.

The circus came to town and of course we had to go. We went with my son’s best friend and his family. My son continued to talk about how exciting the circus was for days after. Below is his prized circus light wand that I subcomed to buying.

She was still naping when her brother went on the Easter Egg hunt.

She is waiting for her brother to bring her the eggs he collected from the mad scramble hunt.

There will be tragedies and blessings in life, I do pray the blessings will always outshine the losts.

This man’s son lost his battle with cancer two weeks prior. He has to catch a flight back to Texas in a few days before flying back to Vietnam to be with his wife. His wife could not make the trip to the US because she has Alzheimer’s disease.

This woman’s son loves her dearly. Her son is a healthy and happy boy with a bright future.
