Family Picture Photo Dump

It's Tiffany here, still playing catch up. 

These are our first official family photos as a family of three besides the ones we took when Kellan was first born and an itty bitty baby. Do those even count as family photos?? I'm not sure. Anyway, around Kellan's first birthday seemed like an appropriate time so early November 2014 is when this actually happened. It seems so funny sitting here at the end of February 2015, the coldest month on record here in CT, and saying that it was such a cold day when we got these pictures taken. I want to say maaaaybe it was in the 40s? Ha! I don't even remember what that feels like at this point! Buuuut we were cold. It was seriously the only cold cold day in at least a two week stretch.  We got all dressed up and put our coats on over the top of our just amount of match-y outfits (in my mind we were fully intending on taking the pictures coat free as to appear warm and happy) and never took them off.  I left the photo shoot feeling so sad and disappointed that it was so cold and the pictures we wanted didn't happen because of that and because of a certain 1 year old's reaction to said cold and just like they were going to be a big flop. Hunter was insistent that everything would turn out just wonderfully and that I shouldn't be worried. Much to my surprise, he was completely right and I absolutely LOVE all of these. I got three of them made into canvases that are hanging in our house kind of love. 

Lesson learned (probably more like reinforced, I'll likely be learning this lesson for the rest of my life): it's okay when things don't work out perfectly and according to plan. Whatever happens instead may just be perfect and exactly what was supposed to happen.

Without further ado, here are the photos! I think I included one of all of them, black and white mixed in, because I just love both versions so much. 

Blowing kisses!

This was about the mood of the day:

...but also happens to make a fabulous picture! haha. 

We soooo wanted to get a good swinging shot and this was the best we could get (which is actually remarkably good). Don't be fooled into thinking Kellan is enjoying himself though, that's definitely a scream face going on.

Thank you delayed, slow, New England leaf changing for allowing the slow pokes like us to still get fabulous fall pictures well into November.
