Bella

This is beautiful Bella, Ariyana's cousin.   She tagged along in the cold and was quite the tropper.   This was her reaction when Ari started crying.

She wasn't about to crack a smile for me, but she was adorable anyway.

Ariyana - 2 Years Old

I adore sweet Ariyana.   She was the subject of my very first post when I decided to start this blog two years ago.  I debated launching my new blog with her two year old pictures, however I'm not ready yet...so she can melt your heart right here.

When Ari arrived she took my hand like I was her best friend and we headed off down the cobblestone path into Memory Grove Park.  I thought, "this is going to be a piece of cake, she doesn't think I'm some annoying lady with a camera in her face!"   And that was true as we played peek-a-boo around some pillars and explored the park.

And then Ari realized how cold it really was.   And it was cold!    When she realized how cold she really was, she just wanted her mommy.

 

If I'm being honest, it wasn't ideal.  But I loved seeing Ari.   I loved seeing her beautiful mom, grandma and adorable cousin.  I love how much she has grown and how her adorable personality is developing.   (Hopefully she won't remember me as the crazy lady who had her freezing in the fog-filled Salt Lake City cold, cold inversion!)  And I love Memory Grove Park.   Candice, maybe we can do another shoot here when the weather is warmer!

Hello....
