my new best friend

i met my new friend grant and his family on his turf, and he was really proud to show me everything. his little sister, merit, was born just a couple of months ago but that does seem to stop grant from stealing the show. he has the best laugh, even when he's being a faker. merit (don't you just love that name) is an angel. i've been waiting months to meet her! she was the most happy on her changing table au naturale, but played along as we contorted her for some other shots.

staci, i'm thinking of you back at work this week. you are such a sweet mom to your babies, hang in there.
