Newborn Eleanor with her Family in Iowa

Rudy has a new best friend

My little brother was born when I was 12. He was my "Bubba," and I carried him around on my hip like he was my own. We shared a room, and I was his favorite until I left for camp the summer he turned two. Many years later, I watched him as he played with my daughters and looked forward to the day when I could see him with his own. Needless to say, I love this little family.

Katie is also a photographer, and she is incredibly witty and has the best smile. She's the perfect addition to our family. Miss Eleanor Pearl (aka Lenny) already has her mother's goofiness. Seriously, she has the funniest smirks and a killer side eye. Rudy seems to be adjusting well to sharing his humans with a new tiny human, and I'm pretty sure he and Lenny are going to be BFFs. With each addition to the family it gets harder and harder to live so far away. Can't wait to hold you again, Lenny!
