Photoshoot time!

nephews

Just two days ago, I had the honor of taking two year old and six year old birthday pictures of my handsome nephews Rae’Sean(6) and Everett(2)! I loved how they turned out and wanted to share them with you all!  I loved by the end of the photo shoot Rae’Sean was asking to take more pictures in different spots, and was posing so cute!

I hope you enjoy them!!raesean7raesean6everett1everett4raesean-1img_6878img_6872everettimg_6858img_6826everett6everett2everett-1

Family Day October 2016

This family day was so so good! It was actually a family weekend for all the kiddos! On Saturday, the kids, my parents, my sister in law, and Shane all went to Family Link (our foster/adoption agency) for a Fall Festival.  They had such a fun time with pumpkin painting, training with the fireman, and a lot of fun for the kids!

After all the cousins spent the night together, they spent Sunday together just cherishing the little things.  The bond between them is unbreakable and after almost 2 months of not seeing each other, they spent so much time just playing, laughing, sharing (and not sharing so well at times, lol) and telling each other everything.  It’s so sweet to watch them grow!!

We started these monthly family visits in honor of our sweet baby Rochelle.  After she passed, we knew the thing she loved the most is to be surrounded by those she loved she most.  It’s so important to be with those you love as much as possible!

60 days already?

2 months with the johnsons.jpg

First and foremost, has it really already been 2 months that we were at the hospital in San Antonio signing over paperwork to become foster parents for baby girl while she was in the NICU? Wow.  Time has flown by so fast, and I am SO happy that I have been able to capture so many of her sweet moments on camera.  We seriously LOVE doing life, with her.

Of course this past month has brought a lot of changes in our lives.. some good and some not so good (not with her, with her case) but we have learned to lean more on God and less on our own understanding.

She has grown to know each one of us more, on a deeper level.  It’s amazing how big of a smile she will give me, Brielle, and Shane when we are talking to her.   It’s SO adorable to know that she knows us so well and loves us already!

In the past month she changed so many lives ( literally everyone that meets her) and it’s so amazing.  She is a miracle.  She shouldn’t be here, but God saved her life, to be a blessing to so many other people. She gives people hope for the unknown, faith to believe that God saves us (all of us), and perseverance to keep going.

She has become my riding buddy.  We ride together to doctors visits, family visits, visits to go see family/friends, and just around town.  She is the best car-rider and I hope that never changes about her.  She fits in our schedule (daily schedule) so well, and we couldn’t be more thankful for that.

She has grown so much in the last month as well.  We had to pack up ALL of her newborn clothes (so sad, yet so exciting at the same time) and pull out her 0-3 month clothes.  She has developmentally grown by meeting more milestones, and emotionally by expressing what she wants, when she wants it.  So proud of baby girl!

We hope next month just brings us more joy, and we hope you all follow along for the ride! I will leave you some adorable pictures to look at, as well (even with her face blurred, she is still SO cute)!
