If you had 1 year old twins can you think of anything any better than your sister having twins? Can you imagine Christmas with two sets of twins a year apart?
Meet newborns Reese and Shea.
And their now 1 year old cousins who held hands all on their own!
Congratulations sisters! What a special blessing!
I am finishing editing his pics and I just had to share a few more. His baby skin and crisp blue eyes just melt me. Any, if you have any prayers to spare, he is scheduled for his stem cell transplant in Iowa City this week. God bless you Nikolas!
His fingers were clean when we started. I have a reputation of getting dirty. You should see my car right now. yikes….
Stay strong little Nikolas, I am praying for yoU!
My heart is still so sad about the loss of Jace.
Daddy’s Tuesday blog entry broke my heart. Thinking about Tara loosing her talker brought instant tears to my eyes. If you have a few minutes, watch the you tube slide show on that post. Listen to the second song written just for and about Jace. I loved it!
I am honored every single time when I client really makes an effort to get to me. There is a little extra added pressure to perform but mostly just great honor. Over today and yesterday, my clients traveled over 800 miles to get to me and then get home. A Bettendorf senior and an Omaha baby added those miles up quickly along with the ‘normal’ Des Moines sessions. Thank you again everyone!
Had to post a picture… This is above my sofa in the living room. I look at it and love it every day. My kids aren’t in it but at least they were standing right by me when I took it!
Miss is such a perfect word for how I’m feeling. I kinda go along my way and try to forget about it all, get over it. Then something wacks me on the head and it all comes back. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take all the wacks, my heart treasures them.
I miss what Maytag was to Newton. I miss all of our friends who needed to move to find comparable work. I miss the kids in my boys’ classes. I miss the impact it had on every single thing - work, friends, church, camping - every thing. (But, I don’t miss the stress and worry about when it was going to leave.) Things are so very much looking up but my heart still hurts and got a big wack on the head last week.
Lydia came from Michigan to have me photograph her senior portraits. I am so touched that they still wanted me! I enjoyed every single minute reconnecting with Lydia and her parents, friends from both work and church! I’ve watched Lydia since she was a baby and to get to see her turn into this beautiful young woman was such a joy.
Lydia, thanks for picking me. You are beautiful on the inside and out!
(I’ll post more of her session when I start posting senior sessions!)
