Pregnant to Baby

Remember back with me to August of last year (click on 2008-august-marriage on the right of your screen)

Luke and Allison have been troopers about letting me try some pregnancy/baby photo shoots with them. There is a long term ministry I'd like to be involved in (when there is more time to do so) and it involves babies, pregnant mommies and hopefully daddy's too.
Allison spent the last few months of her pregnancy pretty much on bed rest. I've done that with one of mine and man is it no fun.
Baby Ezekeel Strait (not sure on the spelling). We put him on some towels in the tub and he zonked out while we moved him around to different places snapping photos. What a perfect little guy.



Pretty mom and her smiley son.

The Hal and Traeman

Halley has felt slightly under the weather, no fever, no yucky stomach.... Just slow time. During quiet time in my studio/school room we were laying on the floor talking while Trae was playing with the window. I reached over and grabbed my camera and the following photos were what we came up with.

Halley, six years old now. She mopped almost the entire downstairs (which is a really huge job). She helps me all the time with the little kids and is super fun to take shopping. Us girls went out for 5 hours the other day and she was all "Oh How ADORABLE, that is SOOO cute Mom!!!!" Just precious.

Our Traeman is just that, no more a little baby, but a little MAN. He's teething something terrible like I've never had before. Poor little bleeding gums finally have a few teeth in them.
Here's my little huggies photo:

We are in our home and getting settled more and more each day. It feels like home. PLEASE come by for a visit, give a call first so we can make sure to be home.

MOVED IN!!!

We have officially moved in. We are in ONE house now and TOGETHER. Half of the boxes have been unpacked but nothing has been decorated. We are just THRILLED to be in our new house and to be making it a home to share with all. Below are a few photos for those hungry eyes. Many of you have asked and been patient so here you go.
