Photo Shoot!

Now that I have these pictures, I am so sad I didn't do newborn pictures of Jack... but it makes me that much happier that we got these taken of our sweet Jonah bug. Here's a few shots of what my awesome friend and amazing photographer (Tara Flake) took of our sweet boys :-) Jonah was 13 days old the day of this photo shoot--






Thanks so much Tara for jumping at my last minute desire to take these pictures. You're so great and I LOVE them so much. More picutres can be seen on her website: www.tarajanephotography.com

Oh my gosh, they're adorable!! Newborn pics are the BEST!! He is such a handsome little boy!! And you look great, Mel! I love the new family pic at the top of your blog as well. I hope you're feeling great. I'd call, but I can only imagine it being totally chaotic with a baby AND a 2-year-old and I don't want to chatch ya at a bad time... Maybe if there's a time that would work, let me know. Until then, we miss ya like crazy and are so happy for you!!

You have the cutest little boys! I just love the feet picture with the rings. You by the way look incredible too! I'm so happy that he is healthy and safe and the fact that he is so handsome is just an added bonus! We made it down to virginia this last week. It wasn't that bad of a drive so we'll have to extend it a little longer next time and come see you guys! Hope everything is going well! I wanted to email you about where to tell my sister-in-law to live. She is marrying a med student at Duke. I'll email you in the next week or so.

I wrote you an email about places to live in Duke. Dev's sister is marrying someone in Duke's med school. Let me know what you think. She is getting married in July.

So I realize I'm a couple months late, but CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby. Also, Jonah has been #1 on our list of boy's names (for when we finally have a baby someday)... I love it.

By the way... our new address is

Since I use first names, I didn't want them connected to our last name.

Hope all is well
