An Abundance of Loved Ones

There was another action-filled weekend at the DeBauche house.  We had friends and family welcomely invade our home.  I meant to post these last week, but each and every day got away from me.

Last Saturday, the girls' great grandma, Jane, their great aunt, Patti, and their cousin, Becky, all drove down from Green Bay to spend the day with our little ladies.  The very next day, our good friends, Laurie and Errick, as well as their son, Hudson (I've posted pics of him before), drove over from Grand Rapids, MI to meet our girls for the first time.

There's never enough time to spend with your loved ones, but I love being able to look back and remember all of the smiles and laughter.

What do you do with a pool when the weather gets cool?  You fill it with balls!

So, Izzy was just cracking up at Becky reading this story.  Check out Izzy's face over the next three-photo sequence.  I love that girl.

The last time their Great Grandmother Jane was in town, all of the girls were in the NICU.  It was so great that she could come down and visit and allow me to make some memories with her and each of the girls.

Before my grandma left, I really wanted to make sure that I got a photo of her with all three of the girls.  Of course, the photographer in me wanted to bring out a little light, but it proved to be much more difficult than I imagined.  Not surprisingly, it wasn't the light that was difficult.

We tried to do this outside, but I couldn't get the girls to stand in the grass.  Even with three helpers, we just couldn't get the shot.

So, we moved inside on to one of the couches.  Aside from Maddy almost flying off of the couch face-first, the girls survived and I got some really fun shots!

  2. Wow, the pictures are wonderful. It also brings me back to when I held all three last December. But then they were so small and not nearly as mobile! And if I recall they all cried! So much fun to see Great Grandma Jane having a great time with the girls!
