It was a fantastic Sunday last week when the Hogentogler’s came over for a photo shoot. The sun was shining and the weather was warm. I love days like this!

The dog park caught Kara’s eye.

Back in June I posted about my brother Tim and sister-in-law Jess finding out they were having a girl. Well the time has come to introduce the newest member of the Dunbar clan, Hope Lynelle Dunbar. Hope she was born at 5:32pm on November 23rd and was 11lbs 8oz. Congrats again to the Dunbar Family!

Family

Mallory

Mallory turns 4 months old today! She is super sweet, not to mention adorable! And her parents, Kyle & Alison are two of the kindest people you will ever meet. You can just feel the love they have for Mallory! Thanks again to the Hofmann Family for allowing me to capture some great memories!

The last of the birthdays for a while belongs to Kara. She is so sweet, I don’t know how you just can’t love her! I have been friends with her parents, Kyle & Ellie since they were 16 & 15 years old. Ellie even introduced me to my wife. We shared a lot of great memories. Fast forward 15 years and both Ellie and Beth were pregnant at the same time. It has been fun watching Kara grow. It’s hard to believe she is already walking! What a big girl!

Last Saturday was Kara’s 1st birthday party. Though Kara was a little under the weather, that didn’t slow her down one bit. She was all excited about opening her gifts and when it came time for cake… look out! She was off to a good start but then started to fizzle towards the end. So Ellie decided to smash her sweet Abby Caddaby cake right into poor Kara’s face! One would think that would have been the end, cue the waterworks but oh no, not Kara. She just laughed it off. And after she was done, Timber became the one dog clean up crew. Thanks again, Kyle and Ellie for allowing us to share in your special day.
