This little lady arrived just in time for turkey and stuffing. Her very first Thanksgiving was filled with doting aunts, uncles, grandparents, and, of course, her own dad and mama. She’s the first of her generation on both sides of the family and she has already amassed an adoring crowd of adults. It’s easy to see why. She’s as cute as a button.

My absolute favorite of the day. I had a vision of what I wanted and Phil & Jackie were agreeable to anything I asked. This turned out even better than I had thought it in my head.

Phil is an avid runner. Read: he’s run more marathons that I can count. And he’s good at it. Really good. Jackie has her fair share of running miles under her belt too (at least one triathlon and several other ‘thons) and it only seemed appropriate to get Sydney tucked right in to the action. Or at least, give her a head start.

Congratulations, Jackie & Phil. Your family is beautiful. Truly beautiful. Welcome to our world, little Sydney. You’ve got the best parents a little girl could ask for and, between you and me, you’re going to have loads of fun with them and learn lots of really great stuff. They will love you through thick and thin and you’ll always, no matter what, be their little girl.
