Found

Listening to the radio this morning I heard about a girl that had been swept away when the 2004 Tsunami hit Indonesia.  7yrs later, in the last couple weeks or days she has arrived back in her home town, and started looking for her family.  Someone recognized the name of her Grandpa, one of the few names she could remember.  She was confirmed by the family as the daughter they believed gone forever, by a scar and birthmark on her face! 

I love connecting modern day life with God, and His work.  It's just how my brain functions.  I couldn't help but think this morning about how we too sometimes get swept away by this world.  Perhaps a moment when we choose the wide path instead of the narrow.  Only to return later after the world has spit us out.  Yet, as Christ followers we are still known when we return!!  How glorious!  If we knew the Father before left He will still recognize us upon our return.  We have been sealed, a mark put on us by the blood of the Lamb.  Jesus bears those scars for us.  He paid the ultimate price, and those scars are still present today on Him.  Scars that made him recognizable on that road some 2000 yrs ago.  No matter how far, how long this world has held you captive know that you are still known.  That there is a loving Father who recognizes you when you find your way home. 

I hope to revive this Blog, and keep everyone up to date on our daily life, and the process of our adoption.  Look for more posts soon!

I had a blast hanging out with you guys! Thanks for being such troopers with the weather. N, L, and D have the best personalities. They did a wonderful job! Hope you enjoy these! And thanks for donating to SOAR and winning the auction!

Oh my goodness, is this not the cutest little cowboy you ever did see!?

Fannon Girls

I was so excited about capturing these two little girls! They are sooooo sweet. The hardest part was making sure both little faces were showing. They slept really well, yay! Enjoy this time with them. Thanks for letting me play!

Alana Joy

Here's a full preview of this little sweetie. Forgive me, things got a little hectic trying to get ready for Anchorage this weekend. I had a lot of fun capturing the tiny little details this session. All those things that change, oh so quickly. Enjoy!

KT, I love this one of you! That natural beauty and glow of motherhood surrounds this picture. And because it reminds me of a beautiful picture of my mother holding me, soon after my birth. The hair and smooth beautiful skin. I hope Alana can look back and also love this picture!

I think we got a winner!

Just one...

Just one tonight to tide you over KT. I had so much fun today capturing little Alana Joy. Can't wait to watch her grow up with those two older brothers. Promist I'll post a couple more tomorrow.




Look at those beautiful eyes she's going to have!

Baby J

I had a wonderful time this afternoon with Baby J. Like I said the newborns just call my name and I couldn't pass him down! He slept so well for me. And I once again got to see God's greatest creation, new life!




Oh I just *love* this shot, Stephanie your beautiful! You and that new baby of yours!






Yummy baby lips? I think so!


He must have liked Grandma's blanket!
