Happy Birthday, Mike! 

You are a wonderful husband and amazing father. This will be the 9th birthday that I have celebrated with you. It is hard to believe that we have known each other for nearly a third of our lives.

One of my first engagement sessions ~ Luke and Chelsey. 

Are they not perfect?! Seriously.

They are getting married this October and I get to be in the wedding. Lillian is their flower girl. We are both very excited for their special day.  

Summer...

The snow is absolutely beautiful tonight! I do love it. BUT, I miss warmer weather. It is so much easier to play outside with Lillian when the weather is warmer.

My niece is a miracle! When doctors told my sister that her chances were slim on being able to have another baby, I began to pray. Ten months later, my precious niece was born. I was there the instant that she came into this world and my life was forever changed. I will never stop thanking God for my answer to prayer.

I love you, Alaina!

LOVE IT!

Lillian & Daddy

 

I love this time of year...our afternoons are spent outside soaking up the sun. Last night, Lillian enjoyed washing the car with her daddy. They have a special bond. Lately, she wants to do everything that he does.
