… we wanted to have a different kind of Christmas. Weeks before Christmas I asked for ideas on how to make Jesus the focus. Not gifts. Or glitter. And oh my, y’all did not disappoint. P.S. If you haven’t read this post, and want wonderful ideas for next Christmas, you really should. And so, at the beginning of December we… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: ice, baby.
I’ve got a lazy bone. And even though I’d promised my kids I’d take them ice skating, the lazy mama in me was so not looking forward to it. Because I knew. I knew taking 6 kids – 4 of whom have never donned ice skates before – was going to be painful. Thankfully, my tickets had an expiration date…. 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
Sunday Snapshot: one picture
… is all I’m posting for today’s Sunday Snapshot. Sometimes one is enough. Having the best time in my friend Lisa’s photography class… it’s breaking me out of my photography slump in a genuinely fun way.
Sunday Snapshot: Vivi Cakes
Me and my girl were out the other day, just having fun. She is such a funny little peanut. She’s fascinated by everything around her. She has a tendency toward hysterical mispronunciations. And she laughs constantly. She’s also one tough cookie. Right now she’s finishing up her fourth week of serial casting. And not one complaint other than asking for… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Shep turns seven
No, you’re not seeing double. We just celebrated another birthday. Meet our newest (and happiest) seven year old. For his birthday he asked for, “Anything Nerf, Ninja Turtle or Ninjago.” And he got a little of each. He asked for a “green and blue cake, with green on the inside.” And he got that, too. Happy Birthday, little man. We… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Vivienne turns 6
My sweet little peanut is now 6. I’m still not sure how that happened. Her birthday list was short this year. Which is always a good thing. A long list can mean a lot of disappointment. And even better than a short list, I could actually produce the first thing on her list relatively painlessly. Or, at least, Victoria could…. Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Victoria
My biggest girl. She’s at home for a season. And I am ecstatic. It’s not often a mom gets to spend this kind of extra time with one of her babies once they have flown the nest. Because fly the nest she did. She graduated with a Biology degree. Then started back to school to pursue a nursing degree. But… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Asher this summer
Good golly, man. When we’re at home hanging out, it doesn’t seem like our family is that big. Crazy, yes. Loud, yes. But it just seems like a regular number of kiddos. And yet, when your goal is to take them out, one by one, for pictures well… it doesn’t seem regular at all. In fact, it seems like I’ve… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Tallula this summer
We celebrated Poppy’s 2 years home with a photo shoot. And since then, I’ve been taking my kids out – one by one – to capture them this summer. Admittedly, that was almost 3 months ago and we are well into fall at this point. But I won’t stop now. I’m determined to finish. Sophie’s photos are here. Isabelle’s are… Read More
