somehow we survived the insane humidity, the drizzling rain, the heat and the relentless mosquitoes and still somehow managed to get some pretty darn cute family photos!  thanks for toughing it out with me guys!  this adorable family belongs to rhiannon giddens of the carolina chocolate drops.  she is so talented!  my crew and i really had a great time dancing it up to the chocolate drops at delfest this year.

just for fun here are a few shots i snapped of rhiannon and the carolina chocolate drops at delfest.

rhiannon belting it out on one of my faves, i am a country girl.  if you have not seen the carolina chocolate drops live i highly recommend it!

i am a big fan of old time music, so i have to admit i was pretty excited to meet rhiannon, from the carolina chocolate drops, and her family.  we met up on a cold winter day at their house in front of the family piano, which is a perfect setting for this musical family!  rhiannon and mike’s daughter, aoife is like a dancing beam of sunshine.  her bubbly personality brightened up the gloomy winter day.  i love her little impish smile! baby caoimhín (pronounced kwee-veen) was bright eyed and ready for some snuggles.

what a great family!
