Dogwood Festival Part 2

So, here are some more pictures from the Dogwood Festival. My favorite photogenic subjects, my children! Here are some of my favorites from this weekend.



"When's naptime, mom?"

Just a really cool truck that was parked by the festival, I had to take a picture!
Bailey was so beat, she fell asleep in Dana's arms. She never slows down enough to fall asleep in someone's arms, it was so cute and reminded me of when she was just a new baby falling asleep on my chest...

So, there are the pictures from the Dogwood Festival. To catch you up on other things that are happening besides photography...
1. Danae and Doug are moving to Tulsa!!! Danae will be living with us for a couple weeks while Doug finishes up a class. I'm working on moving stuff so she can have her own room. It will hopefully be pretty cute when I'm done!
2. Andrew is coming over in a week to stay with us for 2 weeks. I can't wait! I always love it when that boy comes to visit! (Bailey does too!)
3. The cruise is 2 weeks away, I'm working on getting everything ready. Lists of emergency numbers, money for expenses, grocery shopping, bathroom cleaning, laundry, dusting... so much to do!
4. We're still making crosses, I had 4 custom orders from the Dogwood Festival, which I need to deliver tomorrow in Siloam. I'm very excited, very excited indeed! An excuse to go to Siloam is always exciting!
5. Bailey is talking more and more every day, she's learned Diaper, Baby, Book and we're working on Caden. It's so cute!
6. Caden is a whopping 21 pounds! We went to the doctor and he said that he's doing just great and that chunky boys are fine at this age!
So, that's about it for now. Very exciting time, with lots to do... so... I'd better go do some stuff! :)
Love you!

Lessons in Loss

I may not be a pro in much, but i feel as though the Lord would like to me to full grasp the lessons of loss. Oh my word, in the last 5 years we have lost 2 pregnancies, 1 tiny baby boy, we left a job with 8 girls that we so loved at OBHC and started a new calling at SHBC only to be unexplicably fired after 3 years of faithful service. Loss. Another loss. We have so much to be thankful for, but why? Why were we humiliated and lied about? Why did we have to walk this road, we have already hurt so much. We have already given up so much and remained faithful to the Lord and His call on our lives, we didn't turn away, we didn't give up and go secular, we stayed in the ministry and close to the Lord who had always walked with us. Then... failure. We sat down in a conference room where we had been loved on and invested in. Jamie wore a blue shirt, his eyes were cold and the sparkle was gone. The love for us and our ministry was gone. The connection of three years of walking together...

Mom

Being a mom isn't easy. It doesn't come to you overnight, everyday brings new challenges, new questions, new concerns. Devan doesn't care if I'm tired at 5:30am and he's hungry. Caden doesn't understand why I can't get out of the shower to help him get his car from under the couch and Bailey wants to dance ALL the time. Sometimes, I can't dance. They don't understand why mom isn't on call to them all day, and it can be overwhelming. Yet, this job is the ONLY thing I want to do. God made me to be a mom. He gave me big hips to hold my babies, long arms to cradle them to sleep and He gave me a huge heart with room for all of them. Having three children that are 4 and under is not an easy feat, but everyday is so full of adventures and surprises. Devan surprises me with how much he grows and how fast he is learning to make new noises and laugh. Caden is becoming very verbal and has an amazing sense of humor. Bailey amazes me with her compassion for ...

 Life has been beautifully busy lately! It's tiring but so much fun! Bailey's been in gymnastics for a couple months now and is really enjoying it. She's in it with one of her best friends, Channing, so it's been fun to see them do gymnastics together! She had a recital a few weeks ago and did great! She's in the preschool class so it was definitely the more adorable part of the routine! Bailey is all the way to the left, her friend Channing is all the way on the right.  Bailey went around and did a little routine where she showed what she could do on each of the apparatuses.  This is her on the pomal horse (sp?), she did great! She also did the bar, the balance beam, a frontward and backward roll, 3 "cartwheels" and some jumps. It was precious.  At the end, every girl got a trophy and certificate and got to stand on top of the podium and get her picture taken. It was such a fun, special evening with my little girl. She doesn't get tons of atten...
