fun days

I’ve been at Jenna’s everyday this week helping her organize her new home….it’s been so much fun watching everything fall into place.  I tell you, the light in her home is gorgeous…it just doesn’t get much better!  I could shoot there all day :)  Today we worked in her bedroom.  The pics start with Karis and her mom coming over to pick up some moving boxes, then Brenton receiving his pool toy birthday gifts from Uncle Joel and Aunt Kate, and Trey being PaPa’s helper.

Can You Say….

smile :)

Trey and Brenton came for their Thursday visit with their mommy yesterday!  Such fun times……Brenton was all smiles.

Trey is really talking up a storm.  I love the casual conversation we have.  And I also loved that he recited three Bible verses he has learned, two of which correspond with the letters “A” and “B” as he learns his ABC’s.   The animal crackers is an idea I got from my mom who always has them at her house.  They were a big hit…

a little too big…..maybe.

and, last….can you tell that Trey gets excited when Pha Pa comes home from work?

tradition

One of my favorite things to do is to take a picture of Leah in the doorway when she’s home…it all started when I got my camera a couple of years ago.  The doorway shot was one of my first….here she is this visit.
