the thomas family

There is so much swooning going on over here as I compose this post. I cannot get enough of the newest member of the Thomas family! Welcome to the world, Collins. You are a little slice of heaven.

Have you ever experienced that sacred feeling of entering a hospital room that contains a freshly newborn baby? If so, you never forget it. What an honor to get to meet Collins in this way and bear witness to her parents’ and siblings’ core memories of loving her in those first few days.

Coralee and Kennex are FULL of love for this little sister.

And then, it was Collins’ turn for a true spotlight at home once the family was settled. This girl is a true natural in front of a camera! 😉

Two beauties! Mandy, to see your face as you watch each of your kids is to see pure, full displays of love. They are the luckiest to have you for a mom.

I’m not sure I’ve ever had a newborn give quite so many faces and legitimate smiles during their first photo session!

Tyler is such a fun dad and the ease with which he seems to take any parenting challenge in stride is so admirable. I have known him for years, and seeing him in dad mode is just the greatest. 🙂

I had to wrap up with another sleepy little grin. Sweet dreams, Collins!
