Isaiah 40:8

"The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever." ~Isaiah 40:8

This is one of my favorite verses on the outstanding eternal value of God's Word.
I've been wanting to do a small shoot with the verse and a flower, and when I got fresh flowers for my birthday I thought it would be a perfect time to take some pictures. Hope this is an encouragement to you today!

Then.....


And now.....

His Cup of Tea

The other day, Eric asked Mom if he could have a cup of tea (he never drinks tea)
She said "Yes" and turned the hot water on. Eric proceeded to go over to a decorative tea-cup that we have and pretend to drink it. But instead of "tea" in the cup, there was "Crunch" candy bars!
I had to take a picture of him and his special "tea"!!!

Happy Birthday!

Someone is turning "Sweet 16" today!!! Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Spring Sweetness

Out of all of adorable clothes Susanna has, this outfit has got to be the cutest.
How could I not take 25+ pictures of her in it!!! I guess she likes having me take pictures of her, she is still smilin'!
She loved wearing the outfit, and got a lot of compliments on it!
I wish they made grown-up clothes this cute.......
I've got to share some of the pictures, so here they are!
