the loya family

Say hey to the coolest kids on the block: Mari and Asa! Their family is a sheer delight to be around. I couldn’t stop smiling. (Last time, either! It’s like their thing.)
I loooove this image on the right. Melissa’s face is the picture of contentment, surrounded by her crazy crew.  Don’t you just want to hug them all? They’re so darn happy!!!! Let’s shake it up a bit with the posing, shall we? I think so. 😉 There may have been some snort laughter going on…
I keep gravitating toward unusual words to describe this boy, like “buoyant”, but I think his fam would agree. He’s just the most cheerful, easy-going, goofball boy (as long as ya let him run!).
And then there’s this one, with the most perfect freckle in the middle of her nose, and this beautiful full-face smile. Her personality comes out after she warms up a bit, and then it just gains momentum. Wave after wave of silliness and laughter. She’s something ridiculously special. And if you’re still reading, lucky you. Sometimes I save the best for the last of the blog post… Thank goodness for kids who make it possible to take the world a little less seriously. Love you to the moon, Loyas!!!!
