Thanks so much for sharing those photos. We can look at those and dream about our family photos in the future!
Your family is gorgeous. Our favorite was the last one in the grass with the huge flowers. Sophie looks so cute in that one, like a big sister trying to get her little sister's attention.
Our favorite of Margaux probably is still the avatar photo (that's her referral picture, right). She just looks so mischievous in that one, with that big grin!
Keep 'em coming. We need all the encouragement we can get, and a picture speaks a thousand words

Those are adorable! Thanks for sharing!

I know we want to have pics of Olivia taken soon after we get back (get some nice AYAP pics). How do you know when she's ready for something like that? Or does it not really matter.

7 days until we leave!
