gold!


It’s been over two weeks since I last posted anything here. December just always seems so busy. After adding in the shorter daylight hours (which becomes depressing) and 1st trimester exhaustion, I have pretty much been avoiding it. I have also had an ongoing headache for almost two weeks now. Tylenol does not do a thing–but I keep taking it to feel like I’m doing something. I’ve also been using peppermint oil with no success. I think essential oils only work for people who are not skeptical. So if anyone has any advice or a great (low priced) chiropractor to recommend, let me know!

Anyway, on to more fun stuff! For many months, a few of us girls have talked about getting together to play around with some studio lighting in our friend Rachel’s basement. She picked up some gold sequin fabric a couple of weeks ago so we finally got a chance to snap a few pictures. All four of us took turns taking pictures on the same memory card so I can’t be sure who took which picture.

apple picking (part two)


As I promised in my previous post, apple picking (part one), I’m back to share some of the pictures from Rachel’s camera. Let me just say how hard it was to narrow down which pictures to post. She took so many beautiful pictures that it was hard to not post all of them!
 
Also, you may notice that there is only one picture of our whole family together. We weren’t actually there for family pictures but she snapped a quick picture of all of us before we got started. When you have 4 kids, you stop expecting a perfect, smiley picture with everyone looking at the camera and you call it a success when everyone ends up in the same shot with no one crying!

Liam refused to eat any apples–he hasn’t liked them for years. But today he has changed his mind and decided he loves them.

I’m very thankful for a beautiful friend who has an amazing talent! I can honestly say that this was the least stressful photo session I’ve ever experienced with my children. We had such a fun day and (thanks to Rachel) we have some beautiful pictures to remember this season of life!
