We were able to finally get family pictures, with our whole family -Carter included! We are so grateful to have such a good friend Matt Christensen be willing to spend so much time with us to make them perfect! Rachel is a two and a half year old doll who loves to laugh, dance, and make her brother happy! She is incredibly smart and ahead of the game.

Besides that, I think even my primitive dresses turned out pretty well, it helps when you have a really cute daughter to model the dresses you make and inspire the excitement to create! Isn't she adorable! ...
