katy and ben's twins

i think we set a new travel record this year. for us at least. our year has taken us from mexico to canada, hawaii to arizona, and just about everywhere in between. during our year of driving madness we received an email. an email that made us smile big smiles (as BOBBI says). it was from a wonderful photographer that we met when we were first getting started. her name is katy. katy had been busy since the last time we saw her. in fact, katy, with an assist from her awesome hubby ben, was getting ready to have twins. since she was confined to quarters by doctor's orders she asked if we could come to her casa and take some maternity pics.
it might just be me, but whenever super talented photographers ask us to take pictures of them i totally turn into that LITTLE BUZZARD IN BUGS BUNNY. we are so humbled and completely stoked all at the same time. after our initial buzzard stage, we all jumped in the air like the channel 4 news team on their way to get new suits and told katy and ben we would love to stop by.
when we arrived, ben opened the door. upon seeing katy sitting on the couch the first thing we asked was "where's the pregnant lady?". katy looked amazing. her numerous tales about her massive superstructure turned out to be nothing but sea stories.
the only way i could use the words "big" or "fat" in a sentence with "katy" is to say, "katy is nothing but a big fat liar. there's no way she has two kids in there." :)
we stared in utter disbelief that she was packin not one, but two tiny humans in her lovely lady bump. life is amazing. katy is amazing. with all the discomfort she was in, it was still impossible to remove the trademark permagrin from her face. katy has to be one of the happiest people we know. now her and ben have two more reasons to smile. congratulations you two!
on with the pictures!
man!
can kim ramble on or what?
i mean, i. can i ramble on or what? i being kim.
dang it! i was so close. this is david, the rambler, signing off. :)

is this just the cutest smile you've ever seen or what?

since the time of our photo shoot katy delivered her two beautiful babies. Amelia Ann and Paul Joseph. so make sure you stop by KATY'S SITE to give her ohana some love.
we love you katy, ben, amelia, paul, and herbert (the raddest dog ever)!! hope everyone is doing well. can't wait to see you all.
