practicing

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

Today a friend who babysits for her granddaughter called to ask me if I could sit in for her while her daughter in law went to a dentist appointment. Up until today, I had only seen pictures of this little doll. It was fun watching a little girl again. After being around the boys, I had almost forgotten what a little girl is like. Her voice is quieter, higher….little girl like…and she has the cutest little giggle. Watching Jenna was a delight….and I guess you could say I’m practicing, because my Jenna is, after having two little boys, expecting a girl in the fall!

a little bit of heaven

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

Today John and I were honored to be a part of sharing in celebration with friends who…after long faith tested years…have adopted the little bundle of joy who came into their lives 5 years ago…Nevaeh. If you look really closely, you may realize that her name is Heaven spelled backwards! She is full of personality, she is beautiful, and she is theirs! And today, they dedicated her to the Lord before their church family who have prayed long and hard for this miracle. God is good! His ways are perfect!

shorn

Saturday, July 24, 2010

Brenton…who’s hair grows faster than any weed I’ve ever seen….got a new haircut. He looks even older than he did the first time. It’s funny how small things like that seem to change things. He even seems to act older. The stickers on his outfit are compliments of PaPa who dug them out of his top desk drawer. Brenton loved them, so after he left I peeled them off the other places he stuck them to recycle them for next time :)

thursday’s at mia’s

Thursday, July 8, 2010

When PaPa drove in from work, the boys were as excited as usual to see him. After visiting a while he took their mommy’s car, with them in it, and disappeared. They were going to the grocery store to get dessert for our dinner…..cupcakes! I wondered what was taking them so long, when I found out they were taking a side trip to the dollar store. It reminded me of the times my parents would come to visit and pick the girls up and take them to McCrory’s….one of the last of the old fashioned dime stores….where they would each pick out something to buy.

They came home with these fun water pumps and squirt guns. Brenton kept squirting his using his thumb instead of his trigger finger. He squirted it sideways…it was too funny. But Trey knew just what to do with all the toys. It just so happened that their Mommy brought swimsuits, so after dinner we hooked the sprinkler up, filled a 5 gallon bucket with water…………and had a water extravaganza in the front yard. Trey kept losing his drawers…..as you can see in the pictures. But they enjoyed it so much. And it was lots of fun watching them!

watching

Thursday, July 1, 2010

The boys are over today. Mommy’s not feeling well, so I went and picked them up just before lunch. I think they have enjoyed watching the painter paint our roof….Trey’s been pretty fascinated with it, but doesn’t want to get too close….is content watching from inside :)

fun days

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

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.

becoming 2

Saturday, June 19, 2010

New pictures are being added daily :)

We celebrated Mr B’s birthday today when his family came over to share cupcakes and watch him open his gifts. He got a remote control car, a truck that makes lots of n.o.i.s.e [ I had forgotten how noisy toys can be ] and some pretty balls…..we each had a cupcake, and a scoop of ice cream after we sang Happy Birthday and watched him blow out the candles [ at least 4 times....he kept blowing them out before his mom had both lit ], watched him do the Hokie Pokie with PaPa and his mommy, and then played for about 45 minutes….when he promptly packed up his toys and left to get a nap!

I might add a few more here later….it’s been a full day.

karis is back

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

I love her curls…I love her name….I love her blue eyes….I love her personality. She’s a busy little miss, so these pics were taken on the fly, but isn’t she as beautiful as ever?

Karis is back, and she’s all grown up….well, she’s 18 months and trying to talk.

Her mommy and a friend came over today to talk shop. Visit Sarah’s Facebook page to get a peek at what she’s been up to. She has a great eye for composition, doesn’t she?
