It’s summer. And all my babies are home. My most favorite time of year. And there is so much I want to squeeze into the time we are all together – all fun stuff, of course. But the truth is, we just don’t get out a whole lot. For several reasons. 1) I am a homebody 2) “We” is a… Read More
it’s summer, the end.
Finishing out with Miss Isabelle, our public schooler turned homeschooler. Because it just seems like she deserves a post of her own. In November of last year we pulled Isabelle out of public school to bring her home. It was, honestly, quite a surprise to all of us as we weren’t expecting to homeschool her this soon (if ever). Because… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: 14 from 2013
I did it last year. The year before. And even the year before that. It’s sort of a thing, I suppose. And, since 2013 doesn’t want to be left out, here are my favorites from the last year. Not necessarily technically my favorites, from a photography standpoint. Just from a mama’s standpoint. 1. Princess Vivienne. 2. My incredibly silly pony…. Read More
Sunday Snapshot: thankful
Two days ago we celebrated Thanksgiving. But, before we dug into our big turkey dinner, I decided to ask our youngest seven what they were most thankful for. I thought it would be an interesting little exercise in learning more about what stirs their affections and, hopefully, remind them of all of the ways God has blessed them. I did… Read More
just like that…
we have another homeschooler. Isabelle is home-schooling, y’all. And honestly, Isabelle and homeschool are two words I never thought I’d put together. But. We mamas do what we have to do. Because, in my opinion, the public school system let my girl down. She “tested out” of her special education class at the end of last year, which is wonderful…. Read More
how they grow
Because my memory often fails me. And because you can’t misplace the internet (not that I’ve ever misplaced anything important.) I took measurements of my kiddos about the same time last year. But – thinking I’d get around to measuring them later – I skipped the littles. And never did measure them. Until yesterday. This year I decided to forego… Read More
first day of first grade.
And second grade. And third grade. And, yes, fourth grade. Not necessarily in that order. Just look at my sweet babies. Love ’em so much. I did sort of cheat with my “first day of school” pictures, though. Instead of getting a picture of each of my school-bound kiddos, I went for the group shot. At least it’s better than… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Isabelle this summer
Last week I began a series of summer sessions with my kidlets. My goal is to capture each of them between now and the official end of summer. So, one by one, I’ll be taking them out for a quick photo shoot with their favorite photographer. I have to be purposeful about this kind of thing, otherwise I wouldn’t get… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: my babies
It’s been a busy summer. In a good way. I’ve let a lot of “regular” things slip because I wanted to be intentional about spending time with my kids. And it has been so ridiculously fun. One of the things I put on the back burner – besides blogging regularly – was my photography. I used to pull my camera… Read More
off they go
… to camp. Monday through Thursday. And, if you can’t tell, they were over the top excited about it. In fact, it was the most often discussed subject for weeks leading up to “go time”. Mama’s taking it a little harder. I know they’ll have a great time. I know they’ll learn a lot about Jesus. It’s just not easy… Read More
