This child is the greatest kid around. I never knew I could love my sister's baby with such complete love. I want to smush him in hugs
every time i see him. He's the perfect blend of his mommy and daddy. I think he has daddie's smarts and mommie's eyes but it may be too
soon to tell for sure. He is my favorite kid to watch, to love on, and to photograph. These photos are from last fall when he was 1.
We started out taking some photos down by the river which is right behind their house.
You should see this place. Every boy would love to live there. It is built on the side of a hill and has steps on the outside
from the road above to the river beneath. It has a sprawling deck (as they say) with a screened in area perfect for a bar-b-q and
hammock time. The view from their living room window makes you feel like you are anywhere but in Lancaster County.
Canoeing, swinging from the tire swing, and watching people float down the river are my favorite activities.
(minus the tire swing part) =)
Talking about it makes me even more excited for summer to roll around.
Desmond's expressions change drastically from moment to moment.
He can be serious as pie and suddenly go streaking off with a huge grin on his face.
These photos are taken at The Overlook Community Park - one of their favorite spots.
I love the image of him below. He just wanted to run everywhere so i ran with him and snapped away!
Check out his little curls on top of his head =)
Desmond, You are such a precious kid. I can't wait to see where life takes you. Thank you for making me laugh all the time.
