I am so excited for this cute couple. I've known Andy a long time, and Ashley is just the perfect person for him. His family is like our adopted family. We love them dearly, and we wish them all the happiness in the world as they begin a new adventure as husband and wife!
Here are a few of my favorite shots from my farewell mini sessions. A HUGE thank-you to the many clients who came out for this event. In the heat and rain no less. I had so much fun with all of you, and it was so great to say goodbye to you. I will be coming back to visit and when I do, I'll make sure to offer mini sessions again!
Yes. That word accurately describes the last 2 months. Having a sick child, a husband working across the country, packing and moving by myself. With four kids in tow. It's been chaotic.
I've been enjoying a week of just being together. No doctors appointments. No schedule. Just us. and lot's of boxes. Just knowing we are here. Together. Makes everything better.
The chaos is always in existence with four kids running around the house. Currently they are racing matchbox cars on the kitchen table. All are making "car sounds". The volume is LOUD. I love it. Sure, there's times when I feel like my ear drums may burst. But at the same time I feel like my heart could too.
This is normal. Just being together as a family. When you've had months of anything but normal activity. These moments are what I longed for. Hearing brothers play together. While their sister plays quietly in her room with her american girl dolls. Dogs nap in the sunshine pouring in through the window. All the while the hum of the refrigerator is in the background. Reminding me that God is SO good, that refrigerator was a steal of a deal on craigslist, and it's the nicest one I've ever owned. After almost ten years of marriage I have a fridge with an ice maker and water filter. It's the simple things that make this mamma's heart happy. Oh, and did I mention we have a garbage disposal and dish washer? Who knew that cooking and cleaning could be SO enjoyable in a functioning kitchen,with room to move around!?!? I may have danced around the kitchen yesterday to this song. (Video produced by my brother's company,they have mad skills)
Yep. Home. It's nice to be in our new home. If you come to visit you'll notice we don't have much in the way of furniture yet. I've made the decision that I won't buy anything that I don't love. So, we maybe sitting Chinese style on the ground for a while. But, It's fun! It's like traveling the world...or camping. Whatever is your favorite pastime of choice. I am so enjoying our time together, and though it's always crazy around here, it's not nearly as chaotic as it was. I'm editing photos,and getting ready to post sneak peeks! :)
Prepare for A.LOT. of pictures!
We are missing this little cutie. This little guy came to our house three days a week to play. We had so much fun with him. He always made us laugh, and my kids loved having a little guy to look after. I took these photos one afternoon when he was at our house. Not a week later he fell, and skinned his face up.
SO glad we did pictures when we did!
We love and miss you Micah! Hope your 2nd birthday was a blast!
Hello! I promise I've not been lost. Though, I rather feel like I have been.
Suppose I have been lost in a sea of boxes. Many.Boxes.
Yep.
We have moved. Across country.
It's sooo good to all be together again. My husband accepted a job,and had been away from us for 2 months. A very.long. 2. months.
So,even though my new house is a disaster,full of boxes and random toys everywhere. It's nice to be in our new to us house.
I just wanted to say thank-you to our many friends and family who helped make this move possible.
I could not have done it without you! Really. I would have been lost without all of you!
The kids are enjoying a new house, and we live right next door to my brother and wife and their two kids. So that's been awesome!
Currently they are running around in the sprinkler and I need to get back to packing while they are distracted and entertained! I will post pictures soon for clients who came to mini sessions before I left. There are SO many great shots! A huge thank you to all of my clients! I am so blessed to call all of you friends!
More posts to come!
This little sugar was just precious. She is so tiny. Though she was over 8lbs when she was born, she's a petite little one. Thank you to her Momma Tami for contacting me after quite the ordeal of a nicu stay! I am so blessed to call you my friend! Here are a few of MANY favorites!
