Family Photo Day!

So, have I mentioned in the last year or so that we love Portrait Innovations?

Hailey is 3 months old and Grace is coming up on her 3rd birthday, so it was time for another round of professional photos. The studio was very busy today, surprise, surprise but they did a great job getting great pictures from both Hailey and Grace. I have created an online photo album with some of the pictures we did not purchase. Click on the link in the right hand navigation area to access our public photo albums.

Now begins the task of frame selection!

It has been awhile since I posted on the blog, and we have been a busy family lately. Brenda is back to work full-time and we are settling into real life. Grace grows daily in her vibrancy and her joy of life. She is asserting her independence and sometimes that is even a good thing. Others... not so much. We are spending a lot of time in time-out these days. Last weekend Grace and I reached a bittersweet milestone. Grace and I attended our last Big Chef/Little Chef class at Young Chefs Academy. She loves cooking class and I am excited to see if she enjoys going to YCA Kindercooks Class all by herself. Hailey is growing into her personality as well. She giggles and grins and is starting to "talk" to us more. Also, like her sister, at the young age of 3 months old, Hailey has found the jumper as a fun place to spend mealtime.

We are weeks away from the fall. Coming up we have Granddad's birthday and Grace's birthday and then we dive head first into the fall and tailgating season! In the midst of the celebrations, we are going to try to sneak out of town for one last weekend camping trip down in Kerrville.

Enjoy checking out the pictures and feel free to tell me which ones are your favorites!

Grace has a secret!

We took some cute pictures of Grace that we thought we would share. Brenda had her doctor's appointment today, and we are excited to share the news! Brenda is pregnant! The nurse said she is 8 weeks and 3 along making her due date April 24th. We have known for awhile but wanted to wait until her first visit before we shared our news. Please celebrate with us and pray for a happy and healthy pregnancy. The irony of the shirt is that we haven't told Grace yet, although she has been talking about a baby brother or baby sister for months now. It's kind of funny, we would ask her, "would you like a baby brother or a baby sister?" To which she always relied "Yes!". So we would ask her, "Which one?" "I hold baby brother, you hold baby sister!" Brenda is feeling fine. She has had more nausea this time around, but no actual morning sickness, so we are counting our blessings. Its been hard to keep it a secret, Brenda has been very tired, so our...

Grace's Birthday pictures

Count Brenda and I into the category of fans of Portrait Innovations! Leading up to Grace's first birthday we took her to have her picture taken at Sears every 3 months so that we could watch her grow. Each time it was a difficult experience. Nobody at Sears seemed to be able to get Grace to interact at all. It usually came down to Brenda and I deciding on 1 decent picture out of the set to use. For Grace's 2 year old picture, we decided to try someplace different. We went to Portrait Innovations. Talk about a great experience. Just like in the previous times, Grace was fussy and not at all interested in having her picture taken. The difference was that this time, the photographer took her time to draw Grace in and make her feel more comfortable. We took some family shots and used lots of different props to keep Grace engaged. It also helped that they took a ton of pictures! Not only did they take lots of pictures, we used 2 different studio rooms and several diffe...

2016 HCBC GO Haiti 1 - It's All About Perspective

Have you ever had an older friend, someone who is wise, someone who has a lovely heart, someone who tells amazing stories, someone who greets every new friend with a warm hug?  Have you ever had the opportunity to introduce someone new to this old friend?  You kind of get a little giddy just thinking about the ways your new friend will respond to this older friend of yours.  You have a certain anticipation about the ways that they will connect with each other.  You smile at the thought of the ways that your older, wiser friend will get at your new friend.  In the end, you sit back and smile as you watch the conversation unfold.  You laugh at the shared stories, you grin as your friend learns new wisdom. This is the clearest way I can think of to explain how it felt to lead 16 students on a short-term missions trip to Haiti.  My role was to simply make the introductions.  There was little that I could actually teach these young people, they weren...
