just the girls [a photo shoot]

i never thought i'd be a mom of girls, to be honest with you... 
for some reason, i just pictured myself having all boys. 
longing and wishing for that girl? absolutely. but just never actually having one. 
well i was wrong. obviously. and i'm so glad... i'm sure boys would be wonderful, 
but that would mean i wouldn't have these two beauties:


melissa always sends me the photos just a few hours after she takes them. 
honestly, i just looked through them and stared. and then cried. 
and then just could not believe these were my babies.
 sometimes it's hard, during the daily grind and busy-ness of life to really see what we've been given. 
photos like this, that are so gorgeous you can't look away, really put it all into perspective. 
this is where i want to be. always.

i don't love jumping into the shoots, but i do it anyway. because melissa always convinces me to, and because i know i'll beat myself up in ten years if i didn't have any photos with them... 
no matter how many pounds i think i still need to lose!




as always, the photos are c/o my cousin-in-law Melissa Sniff. check her out here and here, especially if you're in san diego area. you need updated family photos for your christmas cards, right?? she's your gal :)

instafriday #22

ahhh, it feels good to be back. it's been a long time since i've dumped my insta-photos on you!  so here we go: my mug swap arrived :) it is so cute, and honestly, this is exactly the kind of reminder i need in the morning. the baby has been waking up at 5:30. it's still dark out. and she doesn't go back to sleep after her bottle :( i need to see it as an opportunity to be thankful, spend time with the Lord, and rejoice...  instead of stumble and groan and wish for more sleep. i'm making a bunch of these cute headbands this weekend.  hoping to have them for sale next week.  aren't they cute? and super-fallish.  i've never been one to pay too much attention to the trends,  or the pantone fashion colors [because honestly i don't have the money. or desire.]  but i do see some tangerine tango and bright chartreuse in these ;) for each grandchild, my husband's family has an ice-cream party tradition at their 6-month b...
