Or as user @mtvsami said it best, “You both seem humble and well brought up too..I can see your family means a lot to you.” Yes, @mtvsami — you’re right on the mark and we love how you made that ryhme…and might we add, your Instgram name suites you!

Thank you Insta-fam for all of your lovely words! They are not lost on us and we are very-very-very grateful. And we believe YOU are “beautiful beyond words.” Here’s a secret most bloggers won’t tell you… in order to get those “simply amazing” picture as our darling, @rosadash wrote…we have to take quite a few photos.  Not to discredit our talented photographer, Luke,  it takes several photos to get that “stunner” photo @whitneydolan writes. Just look at  our outtakes! Yup, it takes 2,3,4 and sometimes more…
