Sidnie and her little Prince!

The lighting was perfect on Friday evening for making great portraits! It was a beautiful drive to their place and they had a wonderfully landscaped yard... was just perfect!

This nine year old girl LOVES her baby brother and cares for him...
She's outgoing, willing to try things. And gracious...

Sick!

We've had a little bit of a bug that has gone through the family this past week and a half. Poor little guys have been on the couch ALL day, every day!

This little guy made a great attempt to go somewhere different in the house and this is where he landed for over 2 hours one day. Was happy just to sit and not be throwing up!

Water, bugs, and Jesus

We tend to have most of our conversations at meal times. We'll read our history, talk about God and what He would like from us that day, and often times make a plan for the day (because I usually shoot from the hip).

This morning was on what things were made of.

Man: was made of dirt

Woman: was made of ribs

Etc...

Nate was telling the kids all of these things and then add at the end...

And AIR is something that we breath to stay alive, it has WATER, BUGS, and JESUS!!!

Us girlZ:
Our little Vance who is one year old now!
Every time we would ask him to open his eyes his mouth seemed to be connected and we couldn't get the two separated?
The Art of Window Shopping:
I'd like one of these bikes for my house. It's stuck to the ground yet keeps the kids occupied:
They all much prefer to wear their hats backwards:
We are more in love today than we were yesterday and can say that we feel like newly weds (with experience;). It's super fun to live every day with your best friend and have it mutual!
