Oh my GOSH.....

Every now and then an image strikes me right in the heart like a knife. I believe this is my favorite portrait ever...... yes, EVER!!! Believe me, this daddy loves his little baby as much as or more than this image shows. It's so beautiful!!!

Vacation blog #2

So I'm blogging way out of order, but y'all don't know that, so whatever! :) I promise my girls wore real clothes once or twice while we were in America. I honestly think they spent about 90% of our vacation in their bathing suits though. They loved it!! Here are some pics of the kiddos having a blast. (miss you Ry and Quinn!!!)

Crazy cousins,  Riley, Maci and Kira... notice Maci's 'make over'! HA!! 

We're a very 'peaceful' family. :) You'll see, it's kind of a theme in the following pics.

Mr. Quinn... probably the CUTEST little boy in America! He's extra peaceful! Too cute!

vacation blog #1

Ok, so after a long blog hiatus, I'm finally blogging again. Kira, Maci and I were lucky enough to go back to America this summer for four, fun filled, fantastic weeks. Looking at these pics of Kira reminds me of myself as a little girl. I remember walking back to my dad's shop to see what he was working on... playing in the dirt, hacksawing rocks with my brother Chris and just enjoying life out in the country. I miss being a little girl. Anyhow, here she is having a blast with Chris. It's indescribable how this makes me feel... there is nothing better than seeing your children having so much fun with family. I MISS FAMILY! :(

enjoy...
