Meredith's maternity shoot was on Saturday.  We were blessed with great temps and lots of sunshine!  And the fact that we shot all of the photos on my mom's land meant she could have as many costume changes she wanted :)  I think the photos turned out great, and more importantly, so did Michael and Meredith.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.     These shoes were mine and Mer's when we were little :)

It's amazing how the tiniest things can make me so happy.  If I get this excited about what my dog can do, I can only imagine how you parents must feel about your kids!
