Because pictures are just fun!

As a gift to me for my

birthday this month,

my sister,

Natalie,

did a photo-shoot with me!

I thought I would

share my

favorites.

:-)

She did such a good job

and it was a

blast editing and

putting in some special effects!

April Getaway Part Two: Beauty of Simplicity

My family has always enjoyed

simple getaways.

If given the choice between a

crowded theme park or a

cabin in the woods,

we would all

definitely

choose the

latter.

April Getaway Part 1: The Journey and Arrival!

It truly was the

"calm before the storm".

This overnight getaway last week was

such a blessing and

SO much fun!

Now that wedding preperations are in

full swing, I thought I'd

post some pics from the

trip!

Time Travel 2... the *real* girl

First of all,

thanks so much for the sweet

comments on my last post.

Posting these following pics is even more

fun for me!

I hope you enjoy these too!

Time Travel...

Putting together

pictures for a slideshow at the

wedding has meant

diving into

piles and piles of

old photos.

Its felt overwhelming at

times,

but has been more

fun than

anything.

So, I thought I would

share some of the

pictures...

from worry to praise...

I sit here.

Downstairs family computer.

Coffee warm.

Background noise: Dog's paws on hardwood floors, Mom and Littles singing Scripture, Joshua's pencil tapping, Rush of traffic on the highway, soft hum of the computer, some kind of learning movie playing in the distant family-room.

A million thoughts, like usual.
