5 weeks old...

and already thinks her mama is funny...



Jeremy's been gone all week. Its been challenging to say the least being here without him. Of course I miss him like crazy and not just because he's a huge help to me, but because he's pretty fun to hang out with too. I've had my sister with me all week, what a huge help she has been. Thanks girl, love you tons.

Peace

My life right now can be summarized very easily into three words...busy, busy and busy. It probably has to do with nursing close to 8 hours a day, or getting ready to send my husband off for a week while I keep up fort here. Welcoming a third child has thrown me for a loop that I never knew was possible. I'm really learning to rest in my place in life, finding some peace in the midst of learning how to run my new family. God has given me a lot of comforting words lately, this song in particular has been so encouraging to me. It really is such a breath of fresh air. And then I took this photo of Abby the other day...and when I look at this photo I think of peace. Of quiet control, of rest. I absolutely love my life right now, sure I'm tired, but who isn't? So I just turn on this song, let it blast throughout the house and remember that life isn't just about me! I'm so thankful I have someone to turn to when things go wacky around here!

The More I seek You
The More I find you
the more I find you
The more I love you

I want to sit at you feet
drink from the cup in your hands
lay back against you and breath
feel your heartbeat
this love is so deep
it's more than I can stand
I melt in your peace
it's overwhelming
-Kari Jobe

Jemma & Daniel

These two are fun, beautiful, inside & out, exciting and excited for each other. I just love seeing engaged couples interact. Everything is new and fresh and bright! (and if they're blessed like Jeremy and I are, they will stay that way!) Engaged couples are fast becoming some of my favorite subjects to photograph.

Jemma & Daniel are getting married in the Fall...in ENGLAND! How cool is that?? We had a fun time, walking up & down, all over town. Thanks you two for being my first session back, you're a great couple and I totally see blessings all over your marriage!

Time is going so fast...

No, she doesn't have her umbilical cord anymore (or "poop cord" as Zach called it!!! We laughed so hard...the mind of a 2 year old is an amazing thing!!), and she's starting to not curl as much either. It makes me so sad how quickly she is changing, and she's not even 3 weeks old!
