My favorite children (other than my own)!

I will start with an apology.

I am sorry for posting so many photos of these beautiful children.

Wait, not I'm not. I adore these kids

and I'm pretty sure you will too!

I took these photos of my dearest friend's

children at their home while

visiting them in New Mexico this summer.

Meet VH, who recently turned six.

And meet his little sister, E, who just turned one this month!

Here they are in the fort their dad built for them.

The cuteness and detail in this photo makes me smile from ear to ear.

Look at those chubby arms and legs!

I also love seeing her dad's hand there...showing both his love and his size.

I love baby teeth!

E's mother is fluent in sign language (although if you ask her, she'll say that she's nowhere near fluent. To someone like me, though, she sure is!) so to see her baby girl signing "Mama" and getting it in a photo was priceless!

Don't you love her dress? I bought it for her!

Baby fingers!

She was blessed with these beautiful lashes. No fair.

I love her expression here. I believe she's thinking. "Are you serious, lady?"

Gorgeous children!

VH is such an awesome big brother to little E.

VH had just received this cape from his Mama for his birthday (like literally 5 minutes before we took these photos) and as your can see, he was beyond thrilled with it!
