Hadassah tried something new yesterday...

That's What Grandmas Do

Today the kids and I visited someone very special to all of us. Grandma Brubaker is her name. 91 years old and still very silly and fun. My kids love spending time with her. I have many amazing memories of growing up knowing her and having a close friendship with her. There is something very magical about a grandmother/granddaughter relationship. As she was handing out the snack, which she is known for, Malakai took the bag of chocolate animal crackers and said, "That's what grandmas do...they give us stuff!" Grandma and I looked at each other and laughed and laughed. I love the memories that we can continue to make and the stories we will tell about her some day.

 

 

Little Girl Smiles

Hadassah is so much fun these days. I'm warming her up for her 6-month portraits sometime next week. I think she's a natural in front of the lens!

Seeing Double: Kelvie & Brinton

These twin sisters are four months old and I had the opportunity to capture some sweet moments of them this past week. I've been photographing this dear family for several years now. The girls' two big brothers are 3 and 2...yes, that's right...Lauren is a momma to four children ages three and under. That is called supernatural strength from the LORD! I was honored to do my first twin session for this growing family. I got to see first hand what it looks like to have two babies needing attention at the same time. Children are a blessing from the LORD and I am so thankful to have met two beauties that will be raised to love Him.

Something to Bounce About

In honor of Malakai's Gotcha Day, we always do something special to celebrate. This year we took our family to That Bounce Place. What a riot! The boys had an absolute blast and well, let's be honest, so did Daddy and Mommy. Total body workout for all of us. We all slept like rocks last night! It's a great way to exercise together as a young family.  After almost two hours we had a few tears, some brush burns and lots of laughter. Definitely a wonderful time!

Gotcha Day

Five years ago, my arms were empty in the morning, but by the end of the day, they were full to overflowing, just like my heart. Malakai Grant, our first born son became part of our family on Feb. 25th, 2008. That was then...

This is now...

Bumbo Sittin'

The big brothers are excellent at entertaining their little sister. Today, it was the marble roller. The event turned into a very cute photo opportunity, ending with bare feet for Hadassah (thanks to Isaac pulling them off and throwing them across the room...how fun!) and hugs, smiles and kisses from the siblings. The moments are never dull around this house. How many days until we can play outside ALL.DAY.LONG???
