The Melvin Family

I. LOVE. THIS. FAMILY.

I love them like my own family. Heck, they ARE my family. (Just because I'm not technically related to them doesn't mean I can't claim 'em.)

Deb & I have been friends since I was in junior high. We went to high school and college together. I dragged her to the choir concert where she met her husband. We were in each other's weddings. We run our munchkins all over SoCal together. She is my sister by another mother. And we regularly get mistaken for sisters, which I don't mind a bit :)

I have more pictures of her kids than I can count, but we decided last week we were due for an 'official' session. And so, the results:

Did I mention there is A LOT of fun in this family!?!

Well, most of the time.

Would you look at those eyes?!?

Don't know where she gets 'em...

Thanks, Melvin Fam, for a fun afternoon, and a lifetime of friendship.
