A mother's joy begins
when a new life is
stirring inside...

When a tiny heartbeat
is heard for the
first time...

And a playful kick
reminds her that she
is never alone.

Synergy Financial Group Party

I had the opportunity of taking some pictures at the Synergy Financial Group "Baby It's Cold Outside" Christmas Party last night. Dave has been our Financial Advisor and Mortgage Broker since we bought our first house, and we wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Although I took pictures of many of the guests, I'll keep them off the blog just in case they're camera shy!

Ori & Gideon - 9 days old

What a miracle is life...Ori and Gideon are so adorable. Here's them at just 9 days old! I love the wrinkly newborn skin and the way that their bodies just curl up against you. I could take pictures of newborn babies all day long! Reuben and Donna - you are amazing parents and I look up to you both so much. These two little ones will always know love.

Jarrett & Reilly

It was so much fun taking pictures of Jarrett and Reilly this week. We were rushing around from place to place, trying to beat the setting sun...in and out of the car..."hurry! hurry!" The kids were really good sports. I have been blessed to know the Brenner family - as Jill took care of Jade from the time she was 6 months old until 21 months old, when Colby was born. I'm so glad that we've been able to keep in touch, despite hectic schedules. Jarrett and Reilly are growing up so quickly, as all kids do! It's obvious how much they love eachother. I hope you enjoy these pictures Jill!

Fun in the Snow

I can't remember the last time that we had snow on Thanksgiving. But then I guess this was the first time that we spent Thanksgiving at the cabin! The kids had so much fun playing in the 4 inches of snow. This shot of all the gradkids is now outdated - next time we'll have to put the twins on top!
