when we moved to hot springs, I'd been a high school teacher for over a decade. I changed things up with a stint in the four year old program at our church's preschool. it was ridiculously fun, and this guy was one of my FAVES. just hilarious, and he certainly kept us on our toes. each day my husband would ask for "drew bell stories", and there were plenty to tell. I'm sure he'll die a thousand deaths when I say he's still a charming little cutie-pie, but I'm saying it anyway! thanks, drew! you rocked it!

This backdrop! I think it's quite fitting, as her dad was head of the Hot Springs Rotary 100 Year Project that made this dazzling mural happen. He brought the world-traveling street painter Pepe Gaka to town, who permanently brightened up Bathhouse Row. It's truly stunning. And with a little ray of sunshine smiling in front of it? Perfection... #thanksgooch#vibrantvibes

I remember thinking she was such a BIG kid when I took the shot on the left, and it feels like that was just a couple of days ago. Alas, she was the age my oldest daughter is now, and the time between pre-teen and senior is suddenly a blur...

a couple of cameras, computers, and software programs ago, I had my first session with this sweet trio. much has changed, but their love and laughter together remain the same!
