Family Pictures

I love photography. As is evident in my countless pictures each month. I take my camera practically everywhere. I am rarely caught without it for fear of missing an opportunity to capture a precious moment in life.

Ever since our wedding I have wanted to improve my photography skills and having kids has given me just that. With the dawn of each new day, it brings with it another chance for me to catalogue the many blessings in my life. It is my act of worship.

One of the many reasons why I have this blog is to give myself a way to share this passion of mine. But, with a cheap point and shoot, and very limited time to commit to photography, there are major limits on what I can do.

Enter Tahni...She is the wife of our worship pastor at our church and has skills I have yet to seen matched. They are very newly married and she just opened up her own photography business. We wanted to give her some business and document this season of our quickly growing family.

So at the end of April, we got together at a local park and she took hundreds, if not a 1,000 pictures of our family in 2 hours. Please visit her blog to see our time together. And make sure to tell her what a gift she has!




Tahni, you are a blessing from the LORD. We will cherish these photos forever!

May Showers

May was filled with a lot of rain. We spent many days inside waiting for the weather to clear. But, when it passed it brought some gorgeous days to enjoy God's creation. And it was a very welcomed treat for our garden!

New Family Hobby

This spring our family picked up playing disc golf. It's a very fun game. Similiar to golf, but less expensive and takes a lot less time.

We have a course near our home and Andy especially has been able to play quite often. He got his step-dad some discs and they have really enjoyed playing together. Great male bonding time.

I can even play wearing Annabelle.

Daddy loves it when his girls can join in on the fun. Neither of them like to be very far away from each other... This photo says it all... and simply melts my heart.


The boys love it too. It's amazing how quickly they've improved.



Just another reason why we love Charlottesville!

Sign of Summer

My creative cooking and baking gets pretty scarce in the summer. But, I've recently rediscovered my love for homemade ice cream. How in the world could I have forgotten how awesome homemade ice cream is?!

For a date night we used our fresh picked strawberries to make some ice cream and couldn't resist making some biscuits to accompany it. Pure joy.

I somehow have a feeling that two little boys won't ever let that information lapse my mind again!
