Intentions
Posted by: | CommentsIt wasn’t really my intention, walking away from my blog for so long. But I couldn’t help it, life was happening so quickly that I just couldn’t sit down to write about it. I just needed to live it.
The kids start school on Wednesday, we are living it up with summer foods, late night trips to Target, eating ice cream outside and tons of hugs and kisses. Although I’m so sad that they’ll be gone, I do believe it’s best for all of us.
I’m excited for the routine, I’m excited to give Elijah some Mom + Eli time.
I’m also hoping to get some “Beth” time. I need that.
This weekend we were in Michigan, Sara Joy had her Amazing! Beautiful! Miraculous! twins. I was honored to be able to do a newborn session with them. Meet Sara, Van and Maggie.

And then, 20 minutes away, my niece, Amber, had a baby this past Thursday and I was able to photograph him, too. Meet Dane, sweet, snuggly & sleepy.

I feel like the luckiest lady alive.
So, I’ll be back on Wednesday, I am unplugging and trying to be the best wife and Mommy possible, which is good because my house is a wreck, it took me 10 minutes to find my running shoes today. They were underneath laundry which was underneath the suitcase that was half emptied two days ago.
My intentions are to clean in my running shoes, not actually run. We’ll see if that actually happens.
(a part of me hopes it doesn’t.)
I took pictures
Posted by: | CommentsLast night I took photos of my sister and her family.
It was fun.
Aren’t they beautiful? (the family) (not the photos) (okay, the photos, too.)
Love hope.
Posted by: | CommentsLast year at this time, we were hoping and praying the doctors would tell us we could try to have more children.
We hoped and prayed that everything would be safe, that our baby would be healthy.
I’m so thankful we had that hope.
Because he is more amazing than we could have ever dreamed.

Our own
Posted by: | CommentsI took my family on our own photo shoot. I’ve been doing many shoots for families recently with the upcoming Holidays and felt very strongly that I should try to do the same for my little family.
It was fun. It was hard. It was frustrating. It was worth it. But honestly, there is not a single shot of our entire family that I love or even really like, which is understandable considering a remote was in charge of the shots, but I can’t complain.
Especially since Anna set up this first shot which makes me want to wallpaper it to my walls.
I can’t get over how handsome Brian is.
How funny, though, that this shot is my favorite of the whole bunch.
I love my family.
I love my life.
and I love that I’m not afraid to admit it.
Probably
Posted by: | CommentsI honestly can’t get over how much I LOVE this photo, one of the best I have ever taken. It’s even more special that it’s my children in this shot.
(more photos to come of our family photo shoot. Soon. I promise.)
