pj makes a comeback

Parker will let me take his picture all of a sudden. Shoot, I hope I didn't jinx it!

Fresh in Seattle

Birthday Boy

Pictures from 2 weeks of celebrating. We are pooped!

Double Digits

A very scared 18 year old once looked at her mother and screamed, " What am I supposed to do with a ten year-old?" To which her mother replied that God does not have us birth a 10 year-old.

That was the fall of 1999. And today is my firstborn's tenth birthday.

I am not any less scared, and Lord knows I am still screaming. (side note: I have ALWAYS been a screamer. It makes me feel better.)

But, I have learned to borrow some bits of wisdom for living. The first of which,that God gives us children to teach us first and foremost. The idea that I would need to know all, was flawed. Not even a part of the game plan. That I learned the very first time I beheld those huge brown eyes glaring deep into my soul just seconds after delivering Parker.

And so it goes. Parker teaches me.

Happy Birthday young man! Grow, live, play, & I will continue to journey with you. You made me a mama, I will try to be a good one.

Parker is cool

Heart Breaker

More of the photo shoot, as promised. Are they not SO good?! The locations were the most run down parts of Old Nampa but boy do they ever make good backdrops. I think it means more to me too, that the location is near our home.
