Family Pictures

I love having a time where I take pictures of the kids all dressed up and together... BUT MAN IS IT STRESSFUL. And when I say stressful, I don't mean the type of stress that people are going through that is harder than life. I just mean the "in-the-moment stress" (the kind you really shouldn't have and makes you evaluate your life and realize how much you are in need of God if you can get upset about not getting a good picture of your kids. The leads you to repentance kind of stress... anybody with me?)

Anyways, that aside (just keeping it honest), I did really want some good pics of the kids together because since our newest addition came along, I have no "whole" family photos. We got some even though it wasn't pretty the whole time. Here they are...




































Saint Simons 2014: Part 1

Last year we had a great time on our beach vacation with Clay's family, but I think this year topped it!  We had no idea when we planned this vacation that we would be a family of six so I was pretty surprised that we had as fun as a trip as we did.

The boys love the beach and had a blast swimming in the waves and digging in the sand. As long as there were plenty of snacks, Piper girl had a great time too! Keller was a great beach babe, taking long naps out at the beach and sleeping through the night. What more could you ask for?!? 

Here are some pics from the first few days...
