After all the major changes that have taken place since then, it seems more like six years. A little over two years ago, while living in Houston, we found out we were expecting our

Before I even met her, I knew Cora Quinn was going to be a precious bundle of perfection. It was clear once I did, she is a little beauty, just like her Momma. Her gorgeous momma’s bluebonnet maternity photo session a few months earlier was just that… gorgeous. (Missed it? Click HERE) I had a
