How do I describe this girl? I should have her dad or mom write this. I’d love to know all the things they have to say about Gracie. Gracie Gracie. Grace. A beautiful word for a beautiful girl. And literally…a woman. Like..she’s not a little girl anymore. I remember when she was born. All the […]

This session was SUCH a beautiful day in the sun with my friends. We saw fishies in the river, although I think it was just the sun reflecting in the ripples. I saw an older brother care so much for his younger one. Showed him how to smile to the camera. I saw boys who […]

It’s this sweet soul’s birthday today. Mama to these kids, wife to this guy, and friend to countless people. Not to mention daughter, sister, cousin, and my “web MD.”   I’ll text her a picture of a spider bite and she will assure me…I will not die. She is so sweet like that. I’m so glad […]

Devoted , gracious, encouraging, whole hearted and beaming are just a couple of the words Haley and Justin use to describe their relationship. Can I also add fun, welcoming, laid back, and full of life? We got COWS in the background which was very important to Haley. Justin and Haley work with them daily and […]
