let’s just kick this off by showing you a picture of the twins:because we know that’s why you’re here. but check this out, these adorable little balls of wonder belong to an amazing family. one that is so full of love and fun and all the best things life has to offer. their mom has the kind of laugh that is explosive and contagious (which come to think of it, sounds like a terrible disease…but I promise you it’s the best disease you’ve ever had) and the way their dad loves his kids is so tender and engaging. and then there’s wick…not sure one little human has ever embodied so much personality (check out his baby pictures taken a year and a half ago).

the past couple of weeks have not been easy. i’ve seen and experienced grief. a sweet friend had to release her child into God’s arms before she had the chance to hold her in her own. i was invited into their story and was able to meet darling quinn. i was incredibly grateful while still being absolutely heartbroken as they trusted me to tell the story of her short life through pictures.
yet even in the midst of despair, there is grace and life. and a bigger picture. one that we can’t always see and certainly don’t understand, but it’s there. slowly unfolding before and behind our eyes, something greater than we could imagine or even hope for. this was a week where i clung to that hope and began to recognize what a gift it is that i get a glimpse of that bigger picture as i witness and document the stories of so many beautiful families.
and here is one. another family that has longed for a child prepared to meet theirs for the first time. daniel and carly welcomed oliver into their home on september 10th. though that was the first day he was officially theirs, they had carved an oliver shaped space in their hearts months before as they patiently waited for his arrival.
now daniel is a naturally smiley guy. but you ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen the look on his face when he’s interacting with his boy. it didn’t matter how tired he was, his grin stretched so wide…we’re talking grand canyon/cheshire cat wide. so fun to see a daddy’s love.
what a gift you are to this darling child, as he is to you.

i was thinking about this past year and how to possibly sum it up in a way that would do it any justice. i just didn’t feel like i could do it in one post, so i’m going to drag it out a little, just for fun.
this year held “firsts” and “beginnings” for our family. there were job changes, living space adjustments, first days of school and general life evaluation. this was also the first year in the past 6 where i wasn’t pregnant or toting around a newborn. which is one change that i am welcoming with open arms :).
one of the reasons i can be okay with not having more babies of my own is that i get to cuddle all of yours! here are some of my favorite baby shots from this year.
this little lady was only hours old when i happened upon her brothers meeting her for the first time:
there were a lot of girls, come to think of it:
and some handsome gents in the mix for good measure:
this year also held one of the hardest things i’ve ever had to do in my life, which was saying good-bye to sweet zoe who was not only a gift to her family but also to me.
thank you for allowing me to share in one of the most exciting, exhausting, emotional and beautifully full times in your families’ lives. i am so thrilled that i got to be there just after they arrived and i look forward to seeing them grow!
