Being a mother is such a blessing! The moment I first knew that my beautiful daughter was on the way I fell head over heels in love with her. The first time I saw her sweet face I knew my life would never be the same! If you have kids then you know what I mean! Being an aunt is also an amazing blessing. I had the honor of being present in the delivery room for the births of both my sisters girls, and when I first saw each of their faces I knew they would be in my heart forever! I adore these three girls, they are the lights of my life and they make my life so rich and wonderful! My sister and I took our girls out to Bartley Ranch for some fall/birthday photos! Jordan is now 12, I cannot believe it has been 12 years since the day I first saw her little face. She is smart, funny, has an incredible heart for the Lord and she is so good, heart little heart is pure gold! Kaitlyn is 7 now and is such a character. Her personality is larger than life, she laughs, loved (and cries) with every bit of herself, at 150% all the time! Hailey is 5 months old and just beginning to show her sweet little personality. She is such a happy baby, all smiles and giggles! Her hair sticks straight up off the top of her head, and it fits her funny, sunny personality perfectly! So, here they are, my girls, and I adore them!!

The lights of my life!!!
November 3, 2011After the storm…
April 21, 2010I have to say that I really do like stormy days, we get so few here that they really are a treat. I love how everything smells fresh and clean after a storm, how colors are saturated and everything looks new. I love how the flowers and trees hold on to the rain, letting little drops of life giving water pool up on their petals and leaves like little hands cupped to receive God’s provision. I especially love how, when we get enough rain around here, we have a beautiful spring to bring us out of the dreary winter. I headed out into my yard today to record the beauty of God’s creation, after the storm. I hope you will stop today, and give thanks, for the wonder of God’s endless creativity, what an artist He is! God Bless


The reason I came home early.
March 12, 2010She is 50% of the reason I came home early from my trip to Las Vegas this week. She, and her daddy, are my world, my most favorite two people on Earth! I found myself deeply immersed in learning and networking at the annual WPPI Convention and all I could think about was how much I missed them, this had not happened in the past, but I don’t ignore feelings like these, so I came home 1 day early, because I missed them.
This little girl is the light of my life, she shines, radiates, with love, and kindness, and wisdom beyond her mere 10 years of life, and I adore her. Being a mother is more than I ever expected it to be, it is frustration, love, fear, joy, and so much more, all wrapped up in a little person who kinda looks like me and kinda like her dad.
I am so blessed to be her mother, so blessed that God decided to allow me to raise, teach and learn from her. I thank Him every day for the privilege!
She is golden light, soft whispered I Love You’s, spinning in circles in the back yard, playing pretend and singing like a rock star. She is everything I never knew I needed and all I ever wanted in life. Her heart belongs to Jesus and I am so glad!
This is my baby girl, and I love her (I LOVE YOU SWEETPEA!!)
