Family pictures - Oct 2020

 I love how these turned out! Our friend Beth came to town for some sessions and I’m glad we got in for one. This was a fun and beautiful location. I had purchased a denim jacket for Hazel to wear but of course left it at home on accident, so she’s pictured sleeveless here unfortunately! She’s cute either way!

I’m so glad we had these taken. I think if I could freeze each of the kids at these ages, I would. Well, if I were guaranteed a little more sleep! But really, this is such a sweet phase we’re in and I’d love to delay them growing up. But I think part of the sweetness is the potential that lies in each of them, and  the joy that it is to watch them learn and grow. I’m so grateful for each of these sweet kids!

Family Pictures 2016

These were taken on Sept. 10th by our friend Beth. She's amazing! Like I mentioned before, we posed for a photography class she taught and she took some pictures for us in exchange. I feel bad that we got the WAY better end of that deal!! I just love every single one so much.

It might be a little silly to have family pictures taken right before we have another baby, but I'm glad we have this memory of the way our family is right now. 

Beginning of Christmas fun

We don't do professional family pictures every year, but I wanted something a little better than iPhone pics for our Christmas card. Sharon to the rescue! She was so nice to take pictures of us. I love love love how they turned out. I took the solar screen off our bedroom window and the lighting was great! Getting the kids to cooperate was difficult, but oh well. That's life! At least we got them to smile when we weren't in pictures with them.

Sharon caught this gem below too! So funny!

That evening we celebrated Nana and Botz's anniversary at French Quarter! We love them and are thankful for their example. Also that night was my last Messiah performance. I really enjoyed being part of this. We rehearsed every Sunday night for 2 months. The last performance was much better than the first, so I was glad our family came to that one!

I loved going to rehearsals with Sharon each week. We got to sit together for the last performance.

This music is some of my favorite in the whole world. I don't know of many other pieces that are just pure praise for our Savior. It was a great way to begin the Christmas season.

Christmas time is the best!
