They grow up so fast...

I never really believed people when they said, "Cherish these times because they grow up fast." Now I know exactly what they meant. With Jorja, I couldn't wait for her to talk and walk so we could communicate. With Ren, I want her to stay this young and innocent forever.



My sweethearts



Such precious gifts from above.



"Jorja, I have something to say please be quiet."



Saturday night bath!

I'm sure you're all wondering where the pictures are from the wedding last weekend. Well, I didn't have a chance to take any of my own. I'm still kicking myself because we all were dressed up and I never got a family picture! Yes, daddy cleans up pretty well!


Jorja performed her flower girl duties without a hitch. I was surprised because naptime had long since passed. Needless to say, I had tears in my eyes and a sob in my throat watching my oldest and encouraging her to take another step toward the alter. They do grow up fast. And before I know it, her daddy and her will be taking that journey together too soon. God is so good! He has it all planned, everything. That's such an encouragement to me while we raise our children and run our business. God knows what tomorrow and the next day will bring.


We just need to trust Him.


Yes, I know I will inevitably bawl at my girls' weddings remembering the day my oldest walked down the aisle as flower girl at Uncle Caleb & Aunt Holly's wedding...it will just seem like yesterday.


Don't worry you'll see wedding pictures, you'll just have a wait a while. Thanks for being patient!

Finally! I have patiently waiting for this lovely entry. I can't wait for wedding pictures, though. I bet you looked just great.
And I think about how I'll have to dance the mother/son dance with Tristan someday. I'm always searching the airwaves for "our" song. :)
