Renaissance Girls

I am very blessed as a mother. I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed me with each one of my children and that I get to spend each day with them.

Most girls love to dress up from time-to-time. My oldest daughter also recently got a camera for her birthday so it has been even more photo-happy around here. :) Today they asked me to do a photo shoot with them. Even though it was very warm outside, we had fun and these photos are my favorite.

To know that God has entrusted these beautiful girls into my hands to raise for Him is just amazing.

The thing about these two that I am more proud of though- that you just can't see from these photos, is that they are more beautiful on the inside.

My daughter, the knitter

My daughter's FIRST knitting project is completed!

Great Job, sweetheart!

Happy Birthday to my daughter!

We are so thankful for you and glad you are part of our family!

We love you very much!

Garden Creatures

Recently, when putting in our little garden, I took some photos of some visitors that came by.

God's creation never ceases to amaze me.

First this beautiful butterfly stayed right by me. I was able to take many photos of it and here are my two favorites ...

The underneath of its wings...

This ant was fast moving and this was the best photo I could get. I like how the texture of the leaf shows up so well, too. This ant just seemed all sassy to me!

A bee all busy at work...

Finally, a toad my children found (and decided to keep for a few days)....

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

~Psalm 95:3-6

HAPPY Meal gone GOOFY!

Just some photos of those people I love most doing something fun we love to do as a family...boating.

God's blessings surround us like a constant sunset!

How can unbelievers look at the beauty in this world, and not see the Lord and His workmanship and His amazing goodness to us?!

Thank you Lord, for sunsets, and little boys...and all the many blessings you just pour upon us each day!
