Fall With My Precious Nephews and Niece

-


Hello again friends! It was about this time last week when I was developing these precious photos of my nephews and niece; Jackson, Parker, and Malloroo. The last time I teared up while editing pictures was during Justin and Rebecca's shots... but this time was different. I was tearing up because it was one of those moments where your "cup runneth over." I'm not even that old but I feel like I have SO MUCH to be thankful for over my twenty four years! I LOVE these little ones so much and they're not even my own...I can't even imagine! Luckily, they live about twelve minutes away so I get a lot of hugs.

 We had such a great time walking around on such a picturesque day this fall. We simply went to the park in Hendersonville behind the library and let the little ones loose! It was a tall order but I believe we got some beautiful shots; they're so gorgeous anyways it was hard to get a bad picture! Oh, don't you just want to take them home with you? They love Jesus, love each other, and love their aunt Caroline and uncle Blake!

From Jackson, I've learned to work hard, to always tell the truth, protect ones that are smaller than you especially if they have smaller voices, be determined, God is big, and study hard. He is a genius!
From Parker I've learned to listen well, treasure food, ask a lot of questions, give hugs without warning, dance and sing as if no one is listening, and laugh until your face turns red. He is a genius too!
From Mallory I've learned to treasure the little things, always accessorize, sing little diddles while in the car, share your excitement with the upmost enthusiasm when someone walks in the door, and that little girls make the world a better place. And yes, she's advanced just like her big brothers!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

What to Think

-

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.   Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand;   do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.   And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.   What you have learned and  received and heard and seen  in me—practice these things, and  the God of peace will be with you. ( Philippians 4:4-9, ESV) If there's one thing I find myself dwelling on lately, it's when will I have a normal day? There's something about predictability that is comforting. Every day after lunch I have to have some coffee... and

Fall Afresh On Me

Fall Decor At Our Tennessee Home I apologize in advance for this crazy and loaded blog post. I tried blogging about one topic and then it just exploded. So, enjoy! Fall Afresh? What does that mean? It happens to be the lyric of one of my favorite songs lately.  If you haven't heard of Bethel Music or Jeremy Riddle, here's a song that just might bless you. I love the lyrics! "Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me, come wake me from my sleep. Burn through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow." That is my prayer!! I grew up singing hymns mostly so I knew this song came from this hymn , just in case you were unaware!   I've been thinking a lot about seasons, particularly fall since it's my first fall away from home. This song just so happens to have the word fall in it so I just had to share it with you!  I'm so thankful for the meaningful relationships we had in Tennessee. One special lady even surprised me just yesterday by
