Life as a Leach

Happy Father's Day to an amazing father and husband!  We love you, Daddy-o! We're off tonight to do some Father's Day crafts with some pretty brave kids at The Ronald McDonald House.  I'm so thankful for an organization that allows families to celebrate holidays like this together! I'll post when I can over the next few days. MWPH doesn't have WIFI, and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do from my phone.  One thing is for sure--there will definitely be VENT-FREE sleeping pictures!!  :)

With all of these beautiful family pictures, I have been very inspired to do a little decorating around the house.  Here's a glimpse at our recent mini-projects: 3 frame in main hallway I love this Family Rules canvas that I found at Kohls! This is a wall art decal in our kitchen This is in our playroom Two pictures of Abby with my bracelet that I've had since she was born.  The verse below is the verse on my bracelet. This is on the wall in our living room.  The three lower pictures are Abby's hand with each one of ours, and the top picture is all of us together. Our living room with some 8x10s of the kids and a wall art decal. I'm really excited about the new decorations on our walls!  It's easy to be inspired when you have such cute kids!  ;)

...And One for All!

My sister gave me a bracelet right after Abby was born to remind me "For with God, all things are possible."  I have worn it ever since as a constant reminder not to lose faith.  God can  perform miracles! This was taken in the NICU in November, 2010 when Abby was just two weeks old. This was taken in May, 2012 when Abby was 18 months old! See everybody?  For with God, all things are possible!

I love these pictures because they're not perfectly posed.  They capture exactly how Caleb and Abby are every second they're together.  They really love  being together, and I hope that never changes!

This girl has the best grin! Did you catch the symbolism of the tulips?!   

We got the disc in the mail from our photo session!  If you missed my first post about it, Tara is a friend of ours from waaaaaaay back.  She was actually a camper when we were counselors at the camp where we worked, which makes me feel very old. Now she's all grown up, and a fantastic photographer!  Check out a few of my favorites, and be on the lookout for a few more posts over the next couple of days.  :) If you're local-ish and interested in having Tara photograph your family (or wedding!), click on the link above to visit her website.  She's really nice and fun--promise! Family Photo Abby loves kisses from her momma! Caleb and Daddy I hope this makes you smile :)
