My Little Photo Session With Our Girl

May 4, 2015April 11, 2017

I am so blessed to be able to spend my days with our girl. I have dreamed about this for years, but to be quite honest, never thought it would come true. I never thought I would get a chance to have a child, let alone take pictures of her! That is why I get a little camera happy some days, but I am just trying to soak in every blessing I can of each day with her. I do not ever want to take a day for granted because these days are a result of YEARS of prayers. I do not take these pictures in hopes of putting a halt on time, but to treasure the times spent with her.

I find it’s hard to take pictures of a baby because they get so excited to have their picture taken (not really)! So I know these aren’t professional (don’t have a “professional” camera), but they sure were fun to take!

This picture just makes me laugh 🙂

LOVE this picture, even though her leg is blurry. Apparently she was just so excited about how cute she looked!

Snuggles!

Just a day in the life of Mazy and Kristin!

Around The Home

Snow? Almost 80 degree weather? Welcome to the midwest! Monday morning we woke up to snow, high winds, and 30 degree temps. Not what we expected for May 1, but nevertheless, a surprise! The cold weather did not stop us from having fun at Open Rock! This picture says it all – yes, there are…

Keep comin’ Spring, keep comin’! We have enjoyed being outside a handful more times this past week, which has felt so good, after a long winter! Not too much new in our corner of the world, just continuing to work on little house projects here and there and of course, watching the Olympics! I told…

30 Weeks!

Oh to be 30 weeks! This week as I was praying and thanking God for taking us this far, I found myself whispering the words to my Father “I am pregnant. I am PREGNANT.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I spoke those words with so much hope, yet peace that God had answered…

Confession From This Mother’s Heart

Comparing. As a new mom, I am realizing more and more, the danger of comparing my child to others. My wise sister told me recently that every kid is different, as we were discussing the different milestones that her 4 girls went through and my sister-in-law said the same thing. Not that this was new…

Around The Home Part 2

One last Christmas party on Saturday! Having the party a bit later in the holiday season was nice so that we had something to look forward to! Of course Mazy was all the more excited because that meant there was more wrapping paper to rip and presents to unwrap. We started the night off with…

This past week we tackled another heart procedure – an ablation. It’s always a family affair, since after most of my heart procedures, some sort of recovery is involved. The recovery after the ablation was at times a mental and physical battle, but by Thursday and especially Friday, I was able to make the turn….
