The Christmas Holidays

Posted on January 10, 2008

Even though the season was crazy, Christmas was a lot of fun! We got to see lots of family, eat lots of food, do a lot of travelling, see a lot of snow, and, of course, have a LOT of fun. Here are a few of our family highlights. (Just a note, I didn’t have my camera with me most of the time (can you beliee it?!), so these are off of various other cameras that I borrowed.

The Archives #1

Posted on December 11, 2007

I’ve had a camera for just about as long as I can remember. And for as long as I can remember, I loved dressing up my little sister and her friends in ridiculous things and then doing “photo shoots”. So this is a tribute to Valerie and Deena who were always willing models, and who helped me build my portfolio with images like this. :) I took this image when I was about 10, I think. (Note the hand made backdrop!)

Perspective

Posted on November 8, 2007

I know, I haven’t blogged in a while. Things have been crazy around here, business and otherwise. I think we all feel a little overwhelmed by it all sometimes. I’ve heard this song a hundred times, but only really heard the words today. (LOVE Caedmon’s Call!)

Sacred

this house is a good mess
it’s the proof of life
no way would I trade jobs
but it don’t pay overtime

I’ll get to the laundry
I don’t know when
I’m saying a prayer tonight
cause tomorrow it starts again

could it be that everything is sacred?
and all this time
everything I’ve dreamed of
has been right before my eyes

the children are sleeping
but they’re running through my mind
the sun makes them happy
and the music makes them unwind

***my cup runneth over
and I worry about the stain
teach me to run to You
like they run to me for every little thing

everything is sacred
and all this time
everything I’ve dreamed of
has been right before my eyes

When Will It End?!?!??!

Posted on September 12, 2007

Well, the end of the craziest season of my LIFE is nearly over (I think). We’re all moved in and my internet is FINALLY back up today! Hard drive crashed a few weeks back, but I think I have most of my software and files back. Still a few things I’m yet to recover, but my awesome friend Daniel of grow development really was a lifesaver! A true hero! My whole family got sick, but I think we’re over that. Seriously it seems like one thing after another has caused chaos and disruption to my life. Despite it all, I’ve got to say, I’m feeling pretty good right now. I’m in a new place. A lot of cool things are going on, and I feel like even though things have been completely haywire at times, I feel like God has been in all of it. I’m excited though for a slower September – complete with cool afternoons with a glass of sweet tea, a somewhat back to normal schedule (if there is such a thing), and getting back in touch with all the people I’ve missed. :)

We're Moving

Posted on August 31, 2007

Well, I am sorry I’ve been sort of missing lately. Last week we were on vacation, just to come back and have four days to pack up our house and move. I’m excited about it all, but EXHAUSTED. I’m not the only one.

Well, I have lots of pictures to post from the last few weeks, but you’ll probably have to wait until things slow down next week.

God bless!

Baby Shower

Posted on August 13, 2007

I went to a shower for a friend of ours, Barb. She and her huband, JD, have been great friends to us and are expecting their first baby very soon! (It’s a girl!) The shower was at Johnny Carino’s, which was awesome, and everything was great! (Thanks Kelly and Kara for being such great hostesses!)

The LOVELY Barb!

We got the chance to hang out with several friends and all their kiddos today and we had a great time. Lots of adorable faces to take pictures of. I’ve also included some pics from my friend Amanda’s and my trip to Gruene the other day. Lots of fun!

Abby

Posted on June 22, 2007

Children’s portraits are an adventure :) Abby was so excited to get her picture taken… until we got ready to do it! She did give me about 5 minutes though, and I think that was long enough to get just what I was looking for.
