Marble Falls, TX: Craigen Family

We've all heard about high school sweethearts.  Ones that are current and we are all waiting with baited breath to see what the future holds, the ones that dated and grew apart in college, the ones that married right out of high school, and then there are these.  The ones that dated, broke up, then through a string of circumstances met once more, only to decide then and there that "this is the one".

The Craigens fall in the last category.  Having reunited, she even purchased her dress before he ever asked.  She just knew in her heart of hearts, the proposal would come.  The love between these two, being developed and fine-tuned over the last seven years isn't one of "awwww, aren't they cute together" (while they TOTALLY ARE!).  It's not a love that sits on the surface, shallow and lack-luster.  It's a love, wrapped in the glory of God, who He, Himself, orchestrated the reunion and wedding and now covers the marriage.  The love of these "high-school sweethearts" shows in their very faces and the faces of their three GORGEOUS children!

I had the beautiful pleasure of following them around in the park, along with her father and grandmother, visiting alllllll the way from California.   How blessed am I that I get to mark this sweet moment in time for them all?  Beyond!

And now, I simply MUST figure out a way to grow an orange tree here in the Hill Country.... Bethina..... OMGOODNESS!!!!!!!  I'm in love!

How could you NOT adore these guys?!?!?!?!
I've been dying to get my hands on Little Miss E since she was born!
Working hard at pumping those legs :D
SOMEONE decided to be a little ham, lol!
He finally gave me a gorgeous smile!
One of my FAVS!  I LOVE the look she's giving Grampa!
Little Miss E is currently in that "I can do it MYSELF" phase :)
Proud of her accomplishment, she is! :)
We attempted to give her bread to feed the ducks... she decided to feed herself instead, lol!
Good catch Grampa!!!
Peek-a-boo, I see you!!!
I'd LOVE to know what he was thinking, haha!
Don't shoot me y'all!  I HAD to show what a FUN and fantastic family y'all are :D
Little Miss E lasted quite well I must say :)
