About three and half weeks ago, 8:34pm on Monday, January 4th to be precise, Ryan James entered our world and snuggled his way into our hearts forever!!! I never imagined how much JOY being a mom could bring — our little man has changed our world in so many ways, but I wouldn’t have a single thing differently. I don’t really have the words yet to describe all the feelings motherhood has brought, but these images by Ivan & Louise do a pretty amazing job at capturing them for me!! I am so excited to share a few of my favorites from our newborn lifestyle session with Emily — you can check out the post on her blog HERE, too!

With that, meet Ryan!!

Ryan James,

We love you SO much — to the moon and back and there and back again — and it is an absolute JOY and honor and blessing to be your parents!! It’s so crazy to think you won’t always be this little and sweet, and we go back and forth between eagerly anticipating your smiles and laughs and personality and just wanting you to not get any bigger at all!! May you always know just how LOVED you are — by us, by your family, and most importantly, by our God!!! We love you, Ryan James!!

Love love love,

Mom & Dad
