Virginia

We just returned from a short vacation to Virginia and Washington DC to see family and tour our nations's capitol. I couldn't pass up taking some family snapshots of my sister, her husband, and their son, Alton Joseph. Yes, that is also our mother who looks much more like she could be our sister, right? AJ's favorite things are jamming to music and eating yummy food. "Itsy Bitsy Spider" is an instant cheer-me-up. If he discovers that you're admiring him from afar, he'll wave to you and shoot you the most charming smile. Yep, my heart melts each time. The photos were taken at this really sweet store just outside of Richmond called Gather, one of my mother's favorite places to find vintage and one-of-a-kind items to decorate her home. A big thank you to Tina, who made us feel welcome and for helping me pick out my gorgeous new purse repurposed from an antique quilt. Love. It.
