If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes , basically every book in The Cabots series , and of course We Could Be So Good . And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody. I haven't always been one for the gentler stories, but I cannot overstate the absolute gift it is sinking into one of Sebastian's exquisitely crafted historicals knowing that I get to spend the next however many pages watching two idiots pine and deny that feelings exist and just take care of each other as they fall in love. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Not this one or any other. Only two things in the world people count b...
These are gorgeous photos (great costumes, too). Did you take them?
ReplyDeleteCute pics. Are these your kids? They are great photos! :)
ReplyDeleteSo totally adorable. And I love love love the last pic!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Really great pics :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. :)
ReplyDeleteKMont, I did not. That honor belongs to DH. He gives good photo. More of his stuff over here.
ReplyDeleteBecky, they are, in fact, mine! Will (5) and Piper (15 months).
Li, grin, thanks! I'm partial to that one as well.
Mandi, I am lucky to have a photographer for a husband. The memories, they are captured.
Sara, hehe.
Adorable!! I seriously need to learn the secret of getting my kids to not run away from the camera...
ReplyDeleteYes, your hubby is a photography genius, but he also has very photogenic subjects. These pictures make me miss you all. Is that your front porch....I love the brick and I need to visit your home in person very soon. Jared has a job interview in Salt Lake tomorrow. Who knows what will come of it. But a girl can dream of moving closer to family.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Will looks like serious Jedi business is afoot in the left one near the bottom.
ReplyDeleteOh my lord, Angie: these are gorgeous and I went to his blog and I was drooling al over his photos. VERY, very talented.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those incredible photographs. Your husband is very talented!
Your children look adorable too - great costumes too.
Love that last picture too. It so atmospheric.
Thanks again for sharing,
All the best,

Jedi + Kiss = ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteJedi kisses are the best! ;)
Did your husband take these? Amazing pics. I love the costumes!!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are cuties. I love the kiss costume. And my husband would heartily approve of the Jedi and that cool picture of him with the glowing lightsaber. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics, Angie! I can't believe how big Piper is already! It seems like just yesterday I was awwwing over her birth photo!
ReplyDeleteBritt, it really is a trick sometimes. My kids just never have a choice!
ReplyDeleteLiz, yup, that's our porch. And it's beginning to be a crime that you've never been here. Interview in Salt Lake, you say? Now wouldn't that be nice...
Allie, oh, believe me, he takes his Jedi business veeery seriously.
Ana, aw, thank you! :)
RK, my pleasure. I'm always fascinated to see what the boy will pick out each year. I imagine next year the girl will want a say as well. :)
Jessie, hehe.
Michelle, he did. He's there for all my photographic needs.
Janicu, since he already had the light-up lightsaber, he was all set to go once we got the robe. I love the atmospheric ones as well.
Christine, I know. I'm flummoxed by this as well. *shakes head*
Those photos are great! The kids look very cute and I hope they had a lot of fun. Tell your son his light saber skills look exceptional.
