Happy Birthday, B!

Once upon a time…a friend I've known forever…married one of my best friends. 

A year ago, they had Baby B. She is only the cutest baby in the world~

And they lived happily ever after!

Happy 1st Birthday.

You are a gift from God.

May His light shine on you.

Always.

Micah 6:8

"He has told you, O man, what is good;

and what does the LORD require of you

but to do justice, and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly with your God?"

Baby #3 COMING VERY SOON!!!

Natali, thank you for always being so loving and generous. Even through your pregnancy, YOU were the one walking over with homemade chicken soup when we were sick and YOU were the one who baked Christmas cupcakes for my kids to celebrate Jesus' birthday. And YOU were the one who opened your doors to have me over on Valentine's Day for breakfast while in your last few weeks of this pregnancy. I don't deserve such a neighbor…but God has blessed me to know you…to pray with you…and to share life with you. Thank you for always reminding me how to love like Jesus…with humility and grace. I am so excited to meet Baby L. He is already so blessed to have you as his mommy! Praying for this last stretch…I love you!!!

Dear Naomi…from your newborn shoot to your first birthday…it's been beautiful to capture & watch you reach milestones and grow so much this past year!

and take good care of you.

May the LORD smile on you

Baby C | Newborn

He melted my heart today...

hello~

hello? anyone here?

It's been a long time since anything's been posted here...but I hope to make a come back. Life is crazy. Madness at times. But 'much madness is divinest sense'... :)

It amazes me how much sacrifice it takes to raise kids.

I wish I could stay up to edit photos....to write a long "come-back"post...and to share pictures from the last year...But I'll resist in order to get ready for the next feed/diaper change. I'll leave you with one photo & one theme I live by these days:

Photo: ...hands are full
(actually these are not my hands. I took this photo for a friend about a year ago...how do you moms do it with twins?)

Theme: Surrender
(...my soul rests in the Lord and I am filled with joy!)

see you soon!

...little ball of energy!

Luke & Amy, you guys are so blessed with your boy E! He is a smiley one...a talky talky one...an active one! So much ENERGY--I love it!!! May you continue to be a family that seeks to honor God in all that you do...from the busy work schedules to the restful days where you get to spend time as a family. It's evident that you care so much for your baby boy.  He is blessed to have such loving mommy & daddy. Happy (belated) first birthday!!!
