I want to remember everything. I am a hopeless romantic. A super sentimental. A Mom who dreamed and wished about being a Mom from as far back as I can remember. And so, I try to make the every day special. I try my best to capture the innocence of my children through my lens. And I try really, really hard to "help" my husband see what I see and capture it on film when I look through the camera. This is one of my favorites that He captured. I see the photograph in my minds' eye way before anyone is even close to being ready. I don't like posed pictures. They don't seem realistic to me. I would much prefer to capture my children just being and doing what they do naturally. This is my little love Bella Grace, kissing the foot of her brand new baby brother. She stopped picking flowers to run over and give him a little kiss. She exudes love. She is exactly what her name says she is. She is Gods' Beautiful Grace.

Beautiful Grace

Give Him the Highest Praise
This photograph of my daughter perfectly describes my heart this week. It has not been easy but I have had to trust Him more than ever. Trust that He will not let me fall, that He is there to catch me and not just catch me, but embrace me in His loving arms. That He is watching me, guarding me, protecting me and showing me just what I can do when I allow Him to be Father. My heart is full of gratitude as I sit and reflect on all that He has orchestrated in my life this week. His mercy and His grace are never ending and my heart is filled with thanksgiving as I have experienced His love in new ways. I give you the highest praise Lord- even in the midst of things we don't understand and a season of great adversity. You are highly lifted up Father when things work out and when they don't.
This house trusts you and we give you the highest praise.
Dreaming about this
We have gone to Seaside almost every year since 1998 and I am dreaming about going again this April. It is near impossible this year given my husband started a new job. So I am dreaming and reminiscing today. I love the sound and smell of the ocean, the sunshine on my face and being barefoot in the sand. ....there is nothing like it.
