Melissa

I LOVE being a mom. I could eat sushi 3 times a day. If bookstores had beds in them, I'd have no reason to leave. My heart gets all fluttery when I am in a stationery store. Spanglish is my first language. Ikea is my new obsession. I listen to Paramore when editing photos, working out, and giving birth. I crave fast lenses and chocolate chip cookies every other day. Jesus Christ saved my life and continues to save me from myself.

Randy

I eat Chick-Fil-A four times a week, wish I had time to be cycling again, and bake a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies at least twice a month. (Why? Because my wife loves them.)

A boy in Africa…

What a wacky last month or so– earthquakes of huge magnitudes rocked Haiti, Chile, Argentina leaving tsunami threats in their wake…it’s hard to fathom all this suffering. And yet, I am reminded that these are the “birth pains” that foretell of the return of the king who will make all things new again. It’s so...

Three Years.

About three years ago, my parents and  my sister felt that their desire to adopt again was to be redirected from China to Ethiopia. Long story short, it was two days later that their youngest daughters were born across the world in Addis Ababa. Their protective older brother was two and a half at the...

Adorable Baby Shoot: Cana

I absolutely love shooting babies at this stage– chubby, sitting, and easy to dress up. I did Vaden’s at 6 months, which you can see here back in September 2008. Cana’s didn’t happen til 7 months, but it’s still the same stage of life. I got an hour in with this little one before she...

Much like the good ole days of yesteryear (a.k.a. high school) I am home on a Friday night. My babies are sound asleep, I am done editing photos for the night, and I am praying that I can one day truthfully echo the words of Martha Washington in a letter to Mercy Otis Warren: “I...

Then Comes Marriage: Esther & Steven

Oh. My heart is full of happy feelings as I write this post. Why? Well, Back in 2001, just after 9/11, I flew across the Atlantic and found myself living with a house full of Brits, and discovered that another American was coming soon. I was so excited, and hoping that the week delay for...

CONTEST: Loveshoot Giveaway

I am not really huge into hamming up non-major holidays, but when I got to thinking about it, I thought Valentine’s Day would be a great day for a giveaway. No, not because love is a sentimental feeling (though that is a part of it) but love is about sacrifice, commitment, and putting someone else...

Snow Days!

It’s been cold cold here…and we got snow and ice over the weekend, not a ton, but enough to debilitate our area. As of this morning, Randy says, the side roads are all still pretty slick, but the temperature has just finally climbed above freezing, so hopefully the roads will improve. Although, it seems that...
