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...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
