I am still waiting for the “perfect” sibling picture of Ella and Elijah.

One of my favorite things to do on Mother’s Day is take a picture with my babies. We began the tradition the year after Elijah was born. I pick our outfits, get the camera settings just right and then David snaps away. He is actually really good a getting at getting a nice picture. Continue reading
