Laurel & Madeleine

I really don't remember when I first met Laurel and MJ. I want to say Maddi was about 5 months old. And honestly, I had no idea the first time Laurel showed up at a LLL meeting that we'd eventually become good friends and know one another so well. Now Laurel is a LLL leader herself. She comes regularly to the meetings where I am a leader, though she leads with a different local group. She is an amazing friend who takes care of people, bringing me manacotti after my youngest was born! We've enjoyed cookies parties and birthday parties together and I've been given the privelege of photographing her family as well. I don't really want to talk about how BIG Madeleine suddenly seems at 2.5 year old, though of course, she is a petite little sprite, but maturing, and so apparent in these first photos
