Fall Sunset

OK yes - it's been a very busy year! I haven't decided 

whether to backtrack and try to catch up or just move ahead. 

Since my last post, Gray was born!!

Helen turned 4 and the twins turned 3.

Jane and Gray are both a year old now 

and my parents have moved.....twice!

A year of wonderful, sweet times that are 

recorded in my memory, if not here!

A year of blessing!!

Moving ahead... this sunset was stunning tonight!

Welcome Jane!!

Our family members have seen these pictures, 

but I'd like to share with the rest of you 

some of my favorites from Jane's first month. 

Born May 30th at 2:34 a.m., 7 Lbs, 6 oz, 19 inches.

40 Days of Gratitude

This year for the Lenten season, I decided not to sacrifice anything, but would, instead, be purposeful about capturing moments of praise and gratitude with my camera. 

The last few posts have been a part of that.

 Yes, many, many of the pictures are of my family - 

they are indeed my priority and each one dear to my heart.

I see beauty all around me everyday and often pause to thank God for these blessings.

In reality, this entire photo blog is an 

expression of my thankful heart!

Fun to look at, fun to eat!
