8 Sleeps & Family Pics

Its only 8 more sleeps until we leave for vacation and Isaiah heads off to YWAM.  I have to admit that I'm starting to get a little emotional anticipating saying good-bye to him for a few months.  Doesn't matter how old they are, they're always your baby!!  I've been busy making packing lists, buying travel insurance, making sure passports are in order and doing all the online check-ins I can before we leave to make sure things run smoothly.   In keeping with that theme my new but very sweet friend and neighbor Shanna brought it to my attention that it would be good to get some family photos done before Isaiah went off to YWAM so she very generously offered her time and did some pics for us.  I am absolutely thrilled with how they turned out and just had to show them off to you here!
The one and only absolute love of my life:



Here is my young man all grown up:



I absolutely love these ones:
This is our "We did it!  He's all grown up and we're SO proud of the young man he's become." and secretly, "one down, 3 to go" he he:
A boy and his Dad:

He'll always be my baby:

Next in line for a bedroom in the basement:  Jacob, 8 years going on 17:



Eli - All boy mixed with complete sweetness:


Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails - I don't care what anyone says this has got to be one of the sweetest faces ever created!!


And then there were 4:


I think being a big brother must be even better than being a super hero!


Boys will be boys!


And with being a super hero comes the "annoying little brothers"!!


Revenge:


"Ew", "get a room", "seriously?", "you guys are disgusting":

Have I mentioned how much I love my life and how I thank God for every day, every moment that I get to have these amazing 5 men in my life?  I am blessed more than I could have ever imagined.  ALL of my dreams have come true.

Thank you God for this Beautiful life you've given me and forgive me when I take it for granted.

  1. Your photos are beautiful; you really are blessed. Four boys, wow! I have 2, both grown now, but what a joy raising them. It's very obvious the joy you have in your family.
