June 30, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
Our families have known each other since Grace was 9 years old... and my 3 little baby girls fell in love with her.

We came PREPARED! Yeah!

Britta chose a very Northwest loca...

"C'mon", I said, "I love it, play some more - for real, even tho you can't hear it in the pictures - anything, play anything -" Tyler had already been playing violin in the woods 15 minutes or more, entertaining the photographer as I snapped - he looked at me - eyebrows raised, mischievous, and then dramatically, seriously, lifted his bow to the s...
