Isn’t she so perfect, with the cutest little noggin! I just love her profile.

I’ve known Liz, MichaelAnn and Ella’s mom, for about two years now from church and our weekly bible studies over those years and all of the events we do together. I remember, before Ella started school, she would always come to bible study in the mornings with her mom. As soon as they walked through the door, Ella would belt out in her sweet, tiny but big voice, “Hello! I’m here!!” No matter what we were all doing and no matter how invested we were in conversation with one another, we all would turn to Ella and give that sweet baby the warm welcome she commanded from our massive study group. She is so very precious! And, such a sweet big sister, too!

I asked Liz how they came up with MK’s unique name. Michael is her husband, Austin and his dad’s middle name, Ann is Liz’s middle name and Kelli is Liz’s dad’s name. It’s a beautiful mixture of their loved one’s names.

That last photo! Oh, MK is the snuggliest baby girl! While I was rocking her to sleep, Liz snagged that photo of me loving on MK. Thank you Liz! I am so grateful to get to capture moments like these for my close friends!
