Failla's 2009

You are my sunshine...my only sunshine....

You make me happy when skies are gray...

You'll never know dear how much I love you...

Please don't take my sunshine away....

When I think of the Failla family this song comes to my mind...they are a dedicated family...a family that loves and adores one another..a family that has fun...a family that has some seriously amazing looking kiddos!...and well I could go on and on but I won't!
These pictures are a surprise for their dad for Father's Day (so hush hush!!!)...and I know they are truly the sunshine for their daddy...I think he will absolutely be thrilled to have these pictures sitting on his desk:)
one last one that I adored of baby Michaela...

Can I start by saying I love this job:) I get to travel to some awesome places...meet some pretty awesome people and enjoy God's creation all at the same time I'm doing what I love!!!
