Ryen is 5! {yearly milestone session}

I can't believe it, but our little girl is five. Her and I went on our annual mommy-daughter photo session to spot that I've been wanting to explore, and she wanted to bring her bear from the 2018 All-Star Game. It wouldn't have been my choice, but she's always surprising me, so I don't know why I was surprised. ;) She's got 3 brothers and is tough as nails, but also just the sweetest little melt-in-your-arms snugglebug. She LOVES animals, both stuffed and real, is so compassionate, very spunky, loves to laugh, and loves Jesus. She has the sweetest soul, and always prays for people who may be hurting. We are so thankful to call her ours!

Samson is 8! {yearly milestone session}

Every year I take each of our children on a little outing by themselves to spend some time together, take some photos, and just hang out one on one. This is our little guy, Sam. He has such a tender heart, loves Jesus, never misses a good joke, searches out opportunities to play with friends and find new ones, and is obsessed with reading. As in, we get 10-15 books at the library, and he's finished with half of them in the first day. I can't wait to see the man he'll become, and we are so thankful to call him ours.
