Families- Mine :)

This is my family. Crazy. Goofy. Funny. Sweet. Dramatic. And sometimes quite a handful but I love them. Lately I have been reminded of just how very blessed I am. My daughter, at 4, already knows how to speak a woman's language directly to my heart. Some of the things she has said and done these last few weeks are priceless and I am beginning to see a true friendship emerge. We've got each other's back, you know? And my son. Although he does not sleep well at night we can never get upset with him because he is just the cutest little guy you ever saw. One little cock-eyed grin. One chubby little finger wrapped around yours. One whispered "luh you!" and I am a goner! My husband has been amazing lately as well. It would not be fair to do a post about my family and not mention how awesome he has been. We are going through some of the toughest, saddest, most draining days of our lives and he remains loving, understanding, supportive. He takes good care of me and really cares about what I am going through. One of the things I love the most about him is that he loves to help and bless people every bit as much as I do. It is part of our calling/ministry for sure and I just adore him for it. A few weeks ago when my other "sis" Anna was visiting from Indiana, she took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to take some fun pics for us. I just LOVE the way they turned out. I had fun dreaming up props and outfits, etc (one of my fav things to do!) and I will cherish the memories for years to come. Lill has inspired me to take more pictures. She is always snapping pics documenting this or that and I love to go to her house and see them scattered around and scrolling across her digital frame. Right now, my house is adorned with these pics- here, there and everywhere. Thank you Anna! You did an amazing job and captured just what I envisioned. I know it was a sacrifice and I am so grateful. Love you!
*side note* If you wish to have me style a shoot for you, please schedule at least one month ahead and mention that you would like me to do so!
