Maternity Shoot Completed
Well, she made it! It was great seeing her and her mom again and she just looked beautiful. This is one of the images from our time together. It's hard to believe that she is ready to go at any time and still looks and feels so good! We had a great time over at the Winery- thanks Koi and Sharron- you guys are great!

Maternity Shoot

Well, I have to say I am so excited about tomorrow! I am meeting up with Sara and her mom Kathy for a photo shoot out in Gordon Valley- I am so excited!!!!! The other exciting thing is that the little darling is coming sooner rather than later so there is a slight possibility I may get a call that says…baby on the way! We’ll see…in the meantime I need to get some sleep! (I do want to put a BIG plug in for Christopher though- today he spent 2 hours @ the DMV clearing up an error on their part and he was a SAINT- really that little guy is amazing. We are blessed.

Water Park- Another fun day


Water Park
Another fun day
Christopher- We- are incredibly blessed. We went over to the waterpark and he just had a ball- took a couple of his little cars (would have brought them all ☺) and had a ball with Jeffrey 7, Megan 8, Brent, Elijah and Isaiah. Cute kids from the summer camp and Jeffrey is just a pro with Christopher- reminded me so much of his cousin Dylan taking him under his wing. Then there was chase…. and ball throwing and catching, and letting the cars go down the swirly slide. After almost a couple hours of fun with all the kids we headed off for some quick errands, lunch and now its nap time…ahhhh a little rest while he gets refreshed. Thank you Jesus! We love you

A Typical (mostly) day
A Typical (mostly) day
Well today we started with a trip to see when good old Larry’s open and boy are we excited to have some fresh produce soon! June never seems to come to early when it comes to Larry opening up. Anyway, once we determined it was tomorrow, we headed over to Green Valley Tractor to see Kim and Paul both incredibly kind and generous. They not only let Christopher seemingly have the run of the place, but give him rides around the property, a Kubota hat (which is the only one we’ve been able so far to keep on his head), candies from the jar, tractor magazines, coloring safety books and today, a new tractor! Today after a 3-hour nap (smile) that tractor was the first thing he asked for -after his water! “Baby tractor”, very cute. So we spent some time with them meeting their new kittens, getting a ride from Kim, which is always a highlight for him, playing with the tractors they keep, running around testing them, then headed off to the pool! After 2 hours of swimming and jumping into the pool in rapid succession as we headed home for lunch there was a North Bay picnic on the front lawn. They took a quick likening to Christopher as he was running about and offered him one of their big beautiful cupcakes…Breezy did a great job on these sunflowers and butterflies and they were delicious ☺ A big thank you.

Family
Family
What a wonderful treat to be treated to an amazing dinner by our sweet Nephew Sebastian…and Spencer. Fresh Wild King Salmon- Asparagus drizzled in Olive oil- a feast fit for a King- or two! Christopher and Spencer had a ball, trucks, stairs, wrestling and lots of love from Christopher to Spence and back again. Finally home in bed Ch was so sad to leave…I think he went out as soon as his head hit the pillow (smile). A wonderful night. Thank you Sebastian for a wonderful evening, a fabulous meal and great company! When did you say your coming again?????? We love you!
Water Park Fun
What a fun day we had day seeing old friends and making new ones- first there was Hannah who is such a little doll I couldn’t help resist but ask for a hug and she was so happy too.....a big warm hug that just stayed and stayed- oh my sweet Christopher- I miss getting those with him- so fleeting as he runs off to his newest adventure ☺ But God is good in placing just all of these precious little ones around that are willing to sit still for a minute- Thank you God!! Anyway, it great to see her and her mom Crystal after what seemed like forever. So as you can see below, all the kids had a blast running and playing in the water and then Christopher met Dylan- yep, just like his cousin Dylan! Anyway, Dylan was a little doll and when it was clear that Christopher had adopted Dylan, well, Dylan just took him right under his wing. What a sweetie I tell you. He had this “cool” hot wheels wheel” I know, that’s what it was, that carried all his hot wheels. So he just brought Christopher right in as Dylan got the ladybug ride to go fast like I am sure all the boys do (smile), showing him all his cars and acting like a GREAT big brother even saying he needed to come to his house to see all his toys. Very sweet boys- 3 in all, with Garret celebrating his 2nd birthday that day. So we sang him a round of happy birthday of which he obliged gracefully (smile) and proceeded to just really have ball in the water- here are a few pictures of him in action…can you tell he has three older brothers?????
New Babies on the Way
New Babies on the Way
What an amazing day it started with a first meeting of my favorite kind…a new baby on the way! To me there is almost nothing that compares to the arrival of these sweet little ones. I know I know, and they just keep getting sweeter and sweeter every day after they arrive ☺ IeIeIe as I always say! Anyway, I dropped by to meet and see Sara and Ezekiel and the new baby- Sara looks amazing, has less (!!!) than 3 weeks to go, still swims everyday and did a triathlon just a few months ago! Talk about in shape and she just looks beautiful. The baby’s room is red to go and adorable with big red ladybugs everywhere (Sara is incredibly talented) and her big brother Ezekiel is just a little doll- so gentle and cuddly! Boy, he was just so happy curled up in his momma’s arms…
I feel incredibly blessed to get to “walk” alongside and photograph this beautiful family.
God is good.

Nanna and Grandpa come to visit!!!
It is always (!!!) exciting whenever Nanna and Grandpa come to visit- his normal wakeup up is 7:30/8:00. Well today started with Christopher getting up at 6:20 and he had a huge smile on his face. When I asked him who was coming today of course he said Nanna (which he over-exagerates like he saying banana minus the ba part. It is pretty cute. I know when they get to the front door he is going to be delighted- I told him he is going to be getting lots of kiss’s from them today- we normally see them every 4-6 weeks on average and this is closer to 12 weeks- a long time. Heaven here on Earth- Thank you Jesus for Grandparents (among many other things). We love you!!

Sweet Sweet Nephews

These are 2 of the 3 little angels otherwise known as our nephews (smile) and boy do we love them. They came up for the yearly weekend with us and we had a ball, minature golfing, BBQing, blockparty, and of course, some playstation on top! I must say they are such a treat to have and it always seems to go so fast and makes me sad to see them go......and looking forward to having them again-soon! We love you guys- lots and lots! And thanks for being such great nephews.
Wonders :)
Wow, what an amazing day- no camera to capture the wonder of it all at The Mission today- felt like a dream- I wonder a bit was it :). God is good- no, God is great. I invite him to make me a sign and wonder...I've heard He will take you up on this! Thank you Jesus. Now back to catching up here!
