Dorothy

This sweet girl is one I have wanted to photograph long before she was ever here. She has been prayed for by an army of friends and family for years. And her December 16th arrival was a glorious day. I’m so excited for my friends who get to be her parents.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Miss Dorothy Rae Teppig.

There is so much joy on both of their faces in this next picture. Please get a good look at Dorothy’s little dimples. I can hardly stand it.

Christmas 2013

Michael and I spent the Christmas holiday with his family. It was a time of rest and refreshments, music and movies, gifts and giggles. We ate big meals and drank strong coffee, and enjoyed just being together. This may be our last Christmas for awhile to spend with this little lady, and she was the main attraction for sure…

A longheld tradition for the Baughmans is singing carols on Christmas Eve.

And what may need to become a new tradition is eating lots of meat… Brazilian style!
