I love this little crew! I’ve known Hannah and David for a long time and they’re some of the nicest people, and Hannah also sends me really quality bat content on Instagram. In addition, their son is obsessed with cats and therefore my best friend. He now also likes dinosaurs and Ghostbusters (!!) and is just an overall delight of a dude. We spent some time taking photos in a beautiful Raleigh park, hiking down to the water to walk on some logs and then circling back to the playground. I, for one, have never seen a child use a slide like this, and am convinced his bones are made of rubber. He would climb up, slide down, literally shoot out and land hard in a type of stuntman roll, and then shoot straight back up and do the whole thing again. He keeps everyone laughing and active and amused, all the while talking about cats. The best!
Team Emmerika has been gracing our blog for quite a while and we are ever thankful for them being clients but also our friends. And now, in addition to their fur family, they have added a little boy named Felix, who we couldn’t be more excited for. He doesn’t quite know it yet, but he has the BEST parents. And by the best parents, I mean THE BEST. Geoff was out of town for work one weekend and they came over to our house with bags of food and made me dinner, dessert, and left me snacks (they’re aware of the fact that I’m helpless at cooking and came to rescue me). They are so sweet and thoughtful but also make the best food imaginable and I’m convinced they could take over the Raleigh culinary circuit if they tried. Erika, in addition, regularly makes the best cupcakes for every conceivable occasion and to this day makes the best gluten free cupcakes I’ve ever tasted.
Generous doesn’t really even begin to describe them, but it’s a start. They’re also loyal and caring and constantly positive, and both of them have the most adorable smiles of all time. We love them. They are so cute. So Felix, you don’t know this yet, but you lucked out big time. Your parents are going to kick ass. They are going to teach you all about comic books and good movies and pop culture and you’re going to eat the best food and they’re going to be so fun and we are SO EXCITED FOR YOU. Also, you have a great extended family and friend group (Grandma Helen and Aunt Kacie pictured here!) and an adorable group of furry siblings. You’re going to have the best life, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for you, but we are 100% sure it’s all good.
