The Sterk Family

Back in October, we had a friend take some family pictures. We even took reinforcement along and brought a friend who Mazy just adores to make her smile, but I have to say, that didn’t impress Mazy! The first session did not go well so we decided to try a few hours later. This is the joy of having a friend take pictures with your camera, instead of paying someone and miss the window of opportunity! Needless to say, we are thankful for friends who are flexible and willing to put up with the craziness!

We ended up with some PERFECT pictures – pictures to use for our Christmas card too!

I look at these pictures and just stare in awe that THIS is MY family! The grace of God that fills these pictures is incredibly humbling and reminds me that I so do not deserve this! I am so blessed to have a best friend to walk through life with by my side, with the most BEAUTIFUL and fun-loving child in my arms. Two gifts that I am thankful for everyday. God’s faithfulness, sovereignty, and love, are beautiful reminders as I look at these. To think for years we always thought our lives would consist of just Dan and I. Then it was us and the Hooties for a very short period of time.

Now it’s us and Mazy.

So. Thankful.
