The Huber Family

I am lucky to have some pretty awesome friends here in Germany and Ms. Dena Huber is among my favs.  We met 1 1/2 years ago at PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel bible study) and I was immediately drawn to her fun charisma and tell it like it is personality.  It was a refreshing dose of reality which I was desperately needing at a time where I was trying to figure out where I fit in as a new mom on a new base in a new country.

Despite the fact that we have boys around the same age, it took a good few months to finally ease into a friendship.  Promised get togethers, canceled play-dates,  or life just getting in the way, we tested the waters before we settled into one of my best friendships on this side of the world.  Our sons seemed to share a parallel friendship and like us,  took awhile to be the best pals they are now.  Jack is like Dena, a little more talkative, carefree, and energetic while Jude and I are listeners, regimented, and reserved.  I like to think we bring out the best in each other. 

Dena's husband Kevin, is one of the sweetest guys you will every met.  He's more quiet than Dena but you can see how wonderfully their differences work to maintain a great marriage.  They are both fantastic parents to Jack and to their newest addition Audrey who is a perfect addition to a pretty fabulous family.

I had the pleasure of taking newborn photos of her a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised with the results of the impromptu session.  A couple of weeks after that I was even morre excited with I was asked to take photos of the entire bunch.  I pretty much ran a mile chasing Jack to capture his energetic personality, adored moments between mother/son and daddy/daughter, and caught some beautiful moments between a couple who love each other as much as they love their children.

Dena, you are a wonderful friend and mother.  Thank you so much for letting me share this moment in time with you. 

Without further ado, The Huber Family:
