And then there were five!
The Melvin family recently grew by two little bundles of joy.  I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous walking into my first twin newborn session, but these two are a couple of the most content little babies I have every encountered!  Miss Raney slept through the entire thing and Chase wiggled for just a bit before slumbering through it with his sister.  And, like most 2-year-old big brothers, Jaxson just wanted to be close and hold his babies.
Congrats, Dru & Brittany!  You have a precious family.

Tiny, pink and perfect is Miss Kaitlyn!  She rounds out this family of girls very nicely, and her two big sisters dote over her lovingly with kisses, bottles, diapers and more kisses.  And mom & dad seem to be pretty thrilled she’s here, too.   When she’s awake, she is so bright-eyed and alert, then when she’s sleeping, she is a peaceful little angel.
You’ve got a lovely trio of girlies, Brooke & Derek!

The world could use a few more families like the Brases.  They are hardworking yet very generous with their time, energy and possessions.  The girls are both sweethearts, too.  On any given Sunday at church either girl will come up to give my kiddos a tickle, a hug or even just say hello.
They are also very loyal Husker fans, so GO BIG RED!Brase103Brase104Brase109Brase111BWBrase112Brase122Brase127Brase130Brase135Brase138Brase141Brase145Music: Sweet Dreams, Lorie Line

Get ready for some baby eye candy times three!  My, oh my, do these littles have sweetness in their smiles and sparkle in their eyes or what?!?  Not a tear was shed, not a cry was made.  It was just big bro doing his duty to hold little man and little lady pretty-ing up the bunch with her lovely curls!  Kuddos to all of them for genuine smiles from beginning to end.  Happy harvest, you three!

What a beautiful day it was for the Folkerts family!  I’ve known part of the family for a few years now, and it is always fun to meet the rest of them and watch them interact with each other – cousins, sisters, in-laws, the whole crew.  I like to visualize what gatherings are like at Grandpa & Grandma’s with kiddos running here or there, patching up a scraped knee, singing around a lit up birthday cake, and all those moments in between.  Thanks for a little glimpse into your family, Deb & Robert – enjoy each moment!
