Family Portraits

Family... it means the most to me.

While in Santa Barbara for my birthday weekend we took advantage of the fact that the whole family was together and took some family portraits. I started with the kids at the house.

It's amazing to me to think that just 11 years ago none of these little people existed. And now they are the next generation of our great family.

They are the generation who will have all the benefits and all the advantages this world can give them. The best being parents, aunts, uncles and of course grandparents who will love them unconditionally.

We are working to give each of them a wonderful childhood, and to raise them to be kind and strong people.

My sister Carissa is by far the most "motherly" of the 3 of us. With an 11 year old and 4 year old twins she dosen't break a sweat. She has raised my niece Angelica to be a smart and talented tween. And Lili and Felix are growing and becoming little well rounded people.

What would any of us do without our Mom and Dad? I can only hope to do as good of a job with my girls as they have with theirs.

Our little family.

Growing up I never would have thought I would have such a handsome husband and 2 gorgeous daughters.

The single ones of the family.

Trying to set up the shot!

And this was by far the best photo of the day.
