Hart "Reunion" Part One: Extended Family

Rye and my cousin Becky's daughter Ellen, but since neither Rye nor Ellen have any Hart cousins, we have decided that they are cousins...which they probably are if you care to navigate the family tree.

Becky's cute son, Jude. Oh he is such a cute ball of pudge-love.

Aliya and her Great Grammy (my dad's mom). Doesn't she look content?

My Aunt Ginnie and Jude's Gramma

The cute baby cousins...

All the cousins in a funny "laying on a towel on the floor" photo shoot. You know, normal every day type things.

We had a great time. Soooo fun to see all the Harts and get quality family time.

Aliya: 3 Months

Here are some photos of Aliya's life these days....

She's become quite the dancer...

She loves hanging out with her "friends"...

Post nap snuggle time with Mom...

My girl...

She LOVES her swing, and thus so do we...

My goodness she looks so big. Snuggle time with Rye before bed...

Her new favorte...the bumbo. Still a little wobbly, but so happy to be up and a part of things. She just spins her head around and around to take it all in...

She loves her Sophie giraffe. Much more than Rye did.

the "glory" shot.

That's our big girl!

Idaho, Pre-wedding Family time

Here are some shots from the week. Not too many, sorry I was busy with the stomach flu and then a bad head cold, oh and of course the 8 week old newborn....but here are some shots I did manage to capture of our time together. Besides the illness it was a great time with our Hart family.

Rye and Uncle Chaz

Rye and his girlfriend, Madelyn, Lynlea's neice.

Aliya: 2 1/2 months

Aliya turned 2 months while we were out in Idaho for Rex and Lynlea's wedding. More on that later. Here are some adorable pics of our little sweethart. She is such an easy-going baby. She is content to smile at whoever or whatever is around, play/gaze adoringly at her dangling playpen toys, snuggle with Dad and make silly faces, stare and laugh at Rye, or her favorite activity these days..chilling in her swing. She eats great, is sleeping between 5-7 hours at night and overall just showing us how amazing a baby can be. Her eyes are changing, they are somewhere in the gray/hazel area but we'll see where they end up.

Here are some recent pics to love...
