2016 is coming to an end and as I look back over this year, I’m amazed at all that God did for me. But naturally, there are a few things that stand out – here are my favorite moments from my life this past year. || January was my busiest month with my photography business […]
Month: December 2016
pampaw
The same day we got back from spending Christmas in Illinois, Rick’s dad (or “Pampaw” as the grandkids call him) & his wife Lynda came to stay with us so they could meet Rylie (& me too). They were only here for one full day (they arrived on MONDAY night (12.26.16) & left early in […]
christmas in illinois
Like I said in my blog post last week (our little christmas), even though Aaron & I have decided our family won’t be traveling on Christmas, we decided to make an exception this year to bless Michelle. Her family (3 sisters, both parents, aunts, uncles and cousins) all live in Illinois, and she rarely gets […]
mary was a mom too
Merry Christmas Eve! Since my daughter Rylie was born a little over a month ago, my understanding of God’s love for us has increased. The amount of love I have towards Rylie is a small fraction of God’s love for us – it’s beautiful. But another thing I feel like I have a […]
our little christmas
Every Christmas Aaron & I have spent together, we have traveled, so one thing Aaron & I have decided with our family is that we don’t want to travel on Christmas – we will always make it a priority to have Christmas at home. However, this year we are making an exception to see Michelle’s […]
“i want to be a mom!”
I wanted to take a moment and say a big THANK YOU! to everyone who has commented on my blog posts, Facebook messaged me, texted me & talked to me about being a mom. Y’all have been so encouraging and have said nothing but nice things. I have gotten so many compliments that I’ve taken […]
god is with us
Yesterday (MONDAY – 12.19.16) was a full day full of activities. It started with my 6week postpartum appointment in downtown Birmingham at 9:45am. I started my morning routine at 7:30am thinking I had ample time to feed Rylie, pump, and get both of us ready. Yeah, not so much… I ended up leaving a little […]
meet roxie
Over the summer, Rick, Aaron & I went to a friend’s father-in-law’s lake-house for the day and we met this sweet little puppy named Roxie. She seemed to stick around Aaron & I since we played with her and gave her lots of attention. At some point during the day, we overheard someone in the […]
when dan came to visit
In a whirlwind of events, my brother was able to come down somewhat last minute to visit Aaron and myself plus meet his niece – Rylie. He flew into the Atlanta airport in Georgia, which is a 2 1/2 hour drive from where we live. After we picked him up at an insanely late hour […]
exploring the city with dan
MONDAY (12.12.16), Aaron had the day off work so we showed Dan a popular place in Birmingham – Railroad Park. We also ventured out to a few streets around the park and the boys took pictures with their cameras. It was so fun to explore parts of Birmingham I haven’t seen before. As the boys […]
