me and luke

He was about two weeks in this photo!!  Next time I see him I will try to capture the same image!! Happy birthday, sweet boy!!

luke is ONE!

A year ago yesterday we met our 5th nephew and this past Sunday we celebrated his #1 with family and friends.  I'm sad I didn't take a pic of Luke and I in the mirror, but I love the photos we have of him and our family!!

my new favorite

This could be my new favorite picture of Lexi EVER.  We are off for another snow day (that makes 3.5 days from the past two weeks).  The snow was beautiful this morning.  Lexi was delighted of the views from the windows so before brushing her hair or coffee for me, we bundled up and headed outside.  I snapped a few pictures of her throwing snow and doing snow angels, but this picture just spoke to me.  I can feel her brilliant spirit and pure heart.  This picture allows me to envision what Lexi will look like at 19.  I pray her soul is just as spirited and pure as it is today.
