I’m so happy you’re here. Are YOU as excited as I am about the spring? I am so ready to put away my coats and boots for the season and enjoy a little more sunshine and open windows (I’ll opt out of the allergies, though, thankyouverymuch). Do your kids love doing scavenger hunts? I’m excited…
Easter 2015 With Cousins

The Annual Easter Family Pictures #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
We almost missed the annual Easter family pictures. And that would have been a shame. We’ve been doing a picture in our Sunday-best every Easter morning for as long as I can remember. We had no time to spare before church (Easter egg hunt, Easter baskets, and cooking Easter dinner before we left was…
