January iPhone photos


It’s so crazy that we’re already into the second month of 2015. Judging by my iPhone pictures, January was filled with junk food. And trust me, that is pretty much reality. February is an exciting month for us–we will be finding out the baby’s gender next week! So I’m assuming the next week will go by very slowly.

Maggi gifted this beautiful prayer journal to me this past Christmas. It is really helpful to be able to see needs written out in front of you.

the boys and I always love to wake up to see boxes of donuts on the counter

Stephanie gave me this devotional. I highly recommend it–seriously encouraging.
And this mug cookie from my favorite food blog has been my go-to quick dessert lately. It is seriously good and only takes a few minutes to whip up. The first time I made it, it was kind of crumbly. But she added a note to the recipe to help prevent that. And it is so good. Check out her other recipes as well. Mel never lets me down.

this picture kind of demonstrates why I don’t have many pictures of all 4 kids together

Lion’s Choice cones are always a good choice

This past Wednesday marked 17 weeks for me. It also was the day I had my first root canal. If anyone wants to know, it wasn’t as painful as most people describe (and I am a wimp) but I have been absolutely traumatized reliving those 45 minutes in my brain. I’m not sure what they’re actually doing during a root canal, and I don’t want to know, but I am so grossed out by even guessing.

but since I didn’t cry (like I thought I would) I thought I deserved a QT pretzel

I’m looking forward to learning more about photography this year so I can pass some helpful tips to Liam. He’s already learning to find the natural light.

So, one week left until we find out the gender…any guesses?

our vacation (in iphone pictures)


We arrived home late last night from our Outer Banks vacation. I feel like a zombie today but if I don’t get started on these blog posts, I will never get them done. Instead of sifting through our (approximately) 28gb of pictures/videos, I’m going through my nearly 500 iphone pictures first. Let’s just say that I am enjoying photography. 

I’ll be breaking up our trip into a few other posts, but for now–here’s our vacation, in iphone pictures…
***I am giving you fair warning that this post is loaded with pictures!

I didn’t think it was possible to actually relax on the beach with 4 young children. It’s so possible when they all love it.

If you made it this far, congratulations! That was probably far too many pictures for one post. We had an amazing trip–but it’s so good to be home.
 
More posts to come over the next week!
