I don’t know about you, but lately we have been bombarded by ladybugs. I’ve been dodging and flicking these lovely ladies off me for a week now. Folk lore says ladybugs are good luck, well if that is the case then everyone in the St Louis area should go out and buy a lottery ticket!
I got to meet up with a couple of cuties recently, and those pesky ladybugs helped me to capture a tender moment between a big sister and her baby sister. The bonds we make are priceless, and it was a true pleasure to be able to witness the love big sis had for her baby sis.
Thanks Stephanie and Aaron, your girls are adorable!!
