{Emma ~ 10 Years Old}
Oh my goodness I love this girl!! So quick crazy backstory on our families... When I was pregnant with my Eri, we were in "baby class" at the hospital where we were going to deliver. We were at a hospital 30 minutes away from where we lived but somehow ended up chatting with this couple … Continue reading {Emma ~ 10 Years Old}
{Paxton ~ 8 Years Old}
Oh this sweet boy. I can't believe he's EIGHT!! He and I had a chance to go out together, just to two of us, to Fort Monroe in Hampton for his birthday pictures and I had the best time with him. And you know Breezy Turtle wasn't far! (Disclaimer: even though Breezy has recently been … Continue reading {Paxton ~ 8 Years Old}
This is Four.
Oh my sweet boy. My baby. You remind me so often that you aren't a baby any more, but a big boy now. I know. I see it in your independence, your wit, your sense of humor, your strong will, and your courage. But no matter how big you get, you'll always be my baby. … Continue reading This is Four.
{Happy Gotcha Day, Lonnie!}
Our Lonnie Girl has officially been a part of our family for a year!! It's so hard to believe it's been a year since we brought her home. I can't imagine our lives without her and it's hard to remember what it was like when she wasn't here. I know that sounds so corny, but … Continue reading {Happy Gotcha Day, Lonnie!}

Over 800 people (yes EIGHT HUNDRED) packed into Community Church to honor the life of this amazing little boy and to show support for this … Continue reading {Louie’s Legacy}
My Superhero
My heart is absolutely broken today and I really lack words that come close to touching all that's on my mind. Sweet Louie went to be with Jesus. I'm angry and I'm sad and I'm so confused. But I'm so incredibly blessed and honored to know this sweet boy and his precious family. I've shared … Continue reading My Superhero
{Amber and Brad}
Amber asked me if I would take some just for fun pictures of her and Brad a few weeks ago. Brad has this cute little john boat and there's a beautiful lake behind his grandmother's house. We waited until the fall leaves were in full color and had the most perfect fall afternoon for pictures. … Continue reading {Amber and Brad}
What I told her…
I've tried really hard (sometimes unsuccessfully) to keep my mouth shut about politics for most of the election. How I vote, how you vote, it's none of anyone's business I suppose. But here we are. Our country's faced with the reality I'm not sure many of us anticipated. I was truly sad when I had to … Continue reading What I told her…
[The Vanderslice Family}
I've sat here looking at these pictures and this post and I'm at a loss for words. There are so many things to say about this amazing family but none of them seem like enough. Sweet Louie's cancer has returned and they're once again facing a difficult journey. I look at these smiling faces and … Continue reading [The Vanderslice Family}
