This year is shaping up to be an extraordinary one. I have two very good friends having babies within the next month and I couldn't be more excited!

  The first little one will be a boy, and is due any day now.  And if he is anything like his older sister, Daphne, he will be a cute little firecracker!  Good luck to Felicia and Joe on this new journey now that their family will be complete. I really am glad that they count me and my family as their friends.

  The second little one will be a little girl,  Charlotte Frances.  This birth will be extraordinary because they have invited me to come take photos of her birth.  This isn't something I have done before and I am super excited!  I've only experienced one birth, and that was my daughter Frankie.  Any advice for this mom to be?  She is going all natural, and is super nervous about it.  Any words of encouragement are welcome!

My first wedding of the year is a little over a month away too!  Wedding season starts on St. Patty's day!  And I am getting my new camera just in time!  So many exciting things, so many things to keep you up to date on!  Hope everyone's February is grand!
