Bethany and Kaden Pictures

This past week my Dad and I walked in our neighborhood with Kaden as he drove Bethany in his car.

The little ones and my dad humored me, and

we stopped at a field in our neighborhood where I had taken pictures of David before.

The sun was just right to get good pictures, and my dad got some great smiles out of Bethany.

This first pictures of the two of them is so serious and still... so unlike how they usually are!

Family Pictures

Don't you love it when you get really, really great pictures?

I sure do,

and even though I didn't take these, I love them!

 

 

 



This one is my favorite.

What's yours?

Even the Moon and Stars Praise Him

So many things in Creation beautifully display the hand of God.

Such a as sunrise,

or a baby's first laugh,

or a waterfall at the top of a mountain.

 

Lately I have been very interested in the stars.

Combine that with my growing love for photography and photo editing, plus a favorite Bible verse and what do you get?

Well, this:

 

 

Picture Perfect

I'm having fun with photo editing! 

Brandon and David have helped me out with being my subjects, and they love to see the finished product.  Here are some favorites:

 

 

Which is your favorite?

 

P.S.  We have some exciting news to post on Wednesday!

 

 

Photo Challenge

When I read that one of my bloggy friends was having a photo contest, I was excited.  Picture taking is one of my favorite things to do, so what could be better than a photo challenge?  I bet most of the people in my neighborhood thought I was crazy walking around this afternoon in 95 ° weather, taking pictures of their flowers, but who cares.  So this is my picture for the contest: 

if you want to enter Michlyn's photo contest then go to http://smalltowngirl-michlyn.blogspot.com/ and start picture taking!

Oh, Brother

I did a photo shoot with my brother David a little while ago, and the pictures are prize winners!  He is such a hoot - here is a little about       David:

he says he wants to be a rock star, or gymnast when he grows up

he loves anything electronic

he is a little out of control sometimes

loves loud and "rocky" music

is the family comedian

and the list goes on.  My brother is a handful, hilarious, cute, and little frustrating sometimes, but he is still my brother and we all love him.

Ok, I'll stop rambling now and let you see the pictures.  Prepare to be amazed:

This one I really like!

And this one...

and this one.

Ok, I love all of them:)

Guess who found the camera...

Yep, it was David.

And he is becoming quite the photographer...

his subject:  the Toddler Room

It's fun...

and the cute little chair...

and himself

So what do you think of his new talent and great pictures? 

I'm sure he'd love to read your comments! 

Photography

Taking pictures is a hobby of mine, one that  I really enjoy.  Today for school we went on a nature walk, and I was able to get some really good photos.  Here are couple:

Family of SEVEN!

Yes, today we are officially a family of seven. 

To us we were the minute we saw our new son and daughter/brother and sister, but now, we are officially a family of seven! 

Thank you so, so, so much for all of your prayers, and please keep on praying.  We will always need it!

We are have a possible travel date for the middle of August, but it may be sooner (please pray that it will be sooner!) 

We are so excited, we had all of our paper work done on this end, but we had no idea what was happening in Congo.  Then yesterday we got the email,

"you are now the official guardians  of Kadi, congratulations!"  and the today we got the email about the newborn too.

The judge said "yes"!

Sorry, we had to mark out their faces until they are home!
