Smilin' faces...

I'm very blessed by the little children in my life... Whether they're my nieces or part of my extended Illinois family, their smiles bring such joy to my life. Without a word spoken, they can communicate such a powerful lesson of simplicity and beauty. What a gift they are...

As usual, Carly is charming the entire table with her smile...

Logan is all smiles at a backyard family party

Tyler isn't quite sure what to think of my camera...
but gives me a smile that will melt any heart.

Katie is always up for piggy back ride from Papa!
