Another thing on my list of things-to-do-before-Zach-leaves was family pictures. As in pictures of our entire family. Can I just add something here? UGH. I already struggle with trying to photograph just a few of my kids together. Getting everyone in the same frame, still relatively clean, all looking in the same general direction and not making a face is,… Read More
out and about
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
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: 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: 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.
just a picture
… of my first and and my last. … of a child that came to us through biology and a child that came to us through adoption. … of two cherished daughters. Just a picture… that pretty much sums up how what adoption looks like in our family.
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: 24
24 years ago, and some change, I gave birth to my first child. It was late August. In Dallas, Texas. And I was hot. I had taken the idea of “eating for two” literally. I’d gained *ahem* more than the recommended 35 pounds. A lot more. Due in part to my cravings, of all things, for Long John Silvers. With… Read More
a summer tradition
Trying to carve out special time with your biggest isn’t easy. Especially when you have 9 younger ones afoot that are usually messier and bossier. And louder. But this summer we managed a few hours every afternoon. About 4:00, we ice down the coffee. Pull out the Quiddler. And put on our thinking caps. Okay, it’s not really a very… 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
